The Painted Oak
Together with our customer we built a linear wooden kitchen inspired by nature. By painting the under cabinets in a dull blue shade that allows the grain of the oak to shine through, the kitchen feels alive and organic. A generous wall section was then site-built in dark stained oak, to create an interesting contrast to the blue.
By painting wood in this way, you get a modern twist in an otherwise classic kitchen, and the light is beautifully reflected in the grain, which brings undulating water to mind. The upper cabinets have smooth doors interspersed with open shelves. This also creates a vibrant feeling that reflects nature's diversity and versatility.

Beautiful limestone that is also used as a splash guard behind the entire work surface for a uniform impression.
This bespoke kitchen is a delight to the eye with its contrasts and modern lines
The countertop is an Azul val verde limestone. The cold tone of the stone creates harmony with the cabinet's tones and together with the warm oak this kitchen feels modern. The limestone is also used in the backsplash that is lined with the custom-made wall cabinet that also hides a built-in fan.
The dull blue color and cool limestone bring to mind the sea and barren cliffs.
The grain of the wood shine through the blue color and create a vivid feeling in this elegant kitchen.
A kitchen island has been lined with the kitchen, also dressed in the cool limestone. Space has been created for seating to open up the kitchen and create a social space for the family to gather around. An extra sink with faucet has also been mounted in the kitchen island to make the kitchen more dynamic and easy to use when you are cooking or baking as a group.
The built-in wall cabinet mix closed and open shelves to create an interesting dynamics in the kitchen.
The materials in the kitchen breathe Scandinavian nature and make you think of barren cliffs by the sea. With the warm oak and beautiful grain in the shutters, the kitchen feels warm and inviting despite the sober and cool colors in the kitchen.
A wooden kitchen can be designed in many different ways and experienced as both modern and classic, depending on the choices you make. What you can be sure of is that you get a sustainable kitchen as wood is both durable and lasts over time.
