Open Kitchen Units for Solid Oak Kitchens

Posted by admin on May 10, 2018 at 12:12 pm. Filed under: Cabinetry

When in the designing and planning stages of your new kitchen, it is very tempting to cover every available cabinet with a set of matching solid oak frontals.

Whilst you may want to hide away many of the utensils, cookware and other accessories that can clutter solid oak kitchens, we recommend combining a mixture of open base cabinets or curved corner cabinets to enhance your kitchen’s design and provide display space for more presentable dinnerware, ornaments, books and much more. Open kitchen units can be used on walls; to fill gaps in the kitchen; finish off a run of cabinets; or simply to provide easy access storage on a kitchen island.

At Solid Wood Kitchen Cabinets, we sell a wide variety of oak cabinets that are ideal to use an open kitchen units:

    Hi Michelle,

    Thank you for getting in touch regarding our solid wood wine racks. Unfortunately, we only produce these in oak timber at present.

    All of our base cabinets are all 720mm tall (not taking into consideration the legs), which is the standard measurement for creating the optimum height kitchen surface. Make sure you take measurement of the legs and the thickness of the kitchen surface into account when ordering your cabinets.

    Kind regards,
    Ben @ Solid Wood Kitchen Cabinets
