Bonjour and welcome to our Art of the Home gallery of gorgeous wood kitchen designs! We hand picked them just for you…hope you enjoy the visit!
Wood kitchen designs can be used in a rustic or modern style. You’ll see several examples in our photo gallery below. In all styles, wood kitchen designs add warmth and are so welcoming. You can play with flooring options, choice of cabinets and wood stains to give your dream kitchen the look and feel that brings you joy when you cook, eat and entertain.
Natural stain and shaker style wood kitchen designs will tend to give your kitchen a more modern look. On the other hand, distressed maple cabinets will give your kitchen a more rustic and country vibe. But again, you can totally play with decorative accents to give your wood kitchen the style that resonates with you. Now remember, wood is a breathing and living material so it brings with it a special soul that other materials, as beautiful as they may be, won’t…can’t. It will age, but that’s the beauty of it!
So let’s check out these beautiful wood kitchen designs. We hope you will be inspired by our selection and get some good ideas with our “The Little Plus.” Enjoy the visit and beautiful day to you!
1. Amish Beauty…
The Little Plus: this golden brown wood kitchen features a functional cooking island with a two-level granite countertop. It’s a good thing the hardwood floors have more of a natural stain so it lightens up the room. And look at this professional looking island mounted range hood — let’s start cooking!
2. Walk on the Beach…
The Little Plus: this dark cabinet kitchen has crown molding going up to the ceiling which makes the entire kitchen look larger and in addition minimizes dusting…got to love that! The double sink granite countertop is in light beige which goes very well with the dark wood cabinetry and the golden brown hardwood floor. The pebble design of the backsplash is refreshing and using a plate behind the stovetop to prevent grease splashes from staining the backsplash grout is a really good idea — nice design element and easy to clean!
3. Natural Beauty…
The Little Plus: the brick pillar next to the see-through cabinets and the backsplash accent wall in the same pattern brings character and a rustic touch to this otherwise modern kitchen. And notice how the floor rug adds a splash of color and the darker wood floor provides a gentle contrast to the natural wood cabinets. Also, the large four-panel window above the sink is a great idea — brings in natural light and adds a touch of luxury to this shaker style kitchen.
4. Baby Topiary…
The Little Plus: the arched transom window above is beautiful and brings in more natural light than the double window alone would — always a plus! Also, did you notice that the backsplash used a subway-tile pattern but the owner chose larger tiles for this design. The lighter grey shade of the backsplash offers a gentle contrast to the darker marble countertops of the cherry wood cabinetry and center island.
5. Goldilocks…
The Little Plus: this modern dark brown kitchen features a three-level island. The top level is perfect to entertain or enjoy a quick breakfast. The second level has a double sink and can be used for food prep. The third level is perfect for homework time!
6. Back to Earth…
The Little Plus: the elegantly edged, terracotta kitchen island countertop is gorgeous. It was bold to use that color in a kitchen with dark cabinets but it works well in this kitchen thanks to a lighter, rich in hues, slate floor. The beige granite countertop also contributes to lightening up the color palette. And what a good idea to frame the backsplash over the cooktop with tiles that match the countertop — it breaks the pattern which could look too busy if left alone. And of course, love that Le Creuset pot! We regularly cook both braised carrots and braised carrots with cream in this one (same size & style but different color, ours is “flame”).
7. Cherry Time…
The Little Plus: the backsplash adds gorgeous tones with reddish, brownish and greenish hues which all call back the island countertop, cherry finish cabinetry, and hardwood floor. The reverse tray ceiling with crown molding reigns above the kitchen island and gives it some gravitas.
8. Peek-a-Boo…
The Little Plus: the arched peekaboo opening is very cute, not to mention practical if you need to pass out snacks during the Super Bowl (or the World Cup). The long rectangular cooking kitchen island features a professional-looking ceiling-mounted range hood. Also, check the glass-faced cabinets displaying colorful day-to-day dishes — adds to the country look of this beautiful wood kitchen.
9. The Fragrance of Meyer Lemons…
The Little Plus: this country kitchen featuring a hammered stainless steel countertop island is very inviting. Look at the pebble backsplash — so relaxing! And the windows feature artistic custom designed glass windows to let in various shades of light. Must be so pleasant enjoying your morning coffee or tea in this kitchen! And those Meyer lemons…we can smell the fragrance from here, love it!
10. Sunflower Joy in the Kitchen…
The Little Plus: the hot plate warmer (right below the double oven)…especially useful when you’re entertaining or if you’re enjoying a meal gastronomic.
11. Round Table Discussions…
The Little Plus: the light beige backsplash with brown accents lightens up this dark wood kitchen. The cabinets with crown molding leave just enough space on top to add mood lights. And notice the ceiling crown molding — wide and white. It adds an elegant feel to the kitchen. Also, the muted wall color makes a nice transition between the white window frame and the dark wood cabinets.
12. Modern in Brown…
The Little Plus: the beautifully designed stainless steel cooktop backsplash matches the stainless steel toe kick throughout the kitchen — that’s attention to detail. And notice how the light pendants in matte chrome finish illuminating the very large kitchen v-shaped island bring it all together. Also, good choice of natural finish for the hardwood floor…works great with the dark wood kitchen designs.
13. Come On In…
The Little Plus: The kitchen floor is designed to resemble old Spanish villas. The terracotta tiles are in a glossy finish. Also, notice how large oak planks are designed in to frame the tiles and call back the wood cabinets. And of course, you have the windows framed in a Tudor-style which further add rustic flair to this kitchen.
14. The Meticulous Art of Chair Caning…
The Little Plus: The high back caned stools add flair to the kitchen island giving it a 1920’s feel. In a contrast that works really well, the professional looking island mounted range hood is ready for any modern chef. And notice how the glass-faced cabinet doors on the left side breaks the symmetry and adds lightness to the kitchen. You can display your favorite day to day dishes and they are right there conveniently accessible when it’s time to set the table.
15. Arabian Night in the Kitchen…
The Little Plus: the marble floor under the kitchen island is in a darker shade than the rest of the floor and framed with a tile design as if the kitchen island was set on a beautiful rug…much easier to keep clean than a rug and as beautiful (way more expensive though…).
16. Golden Love…
The Little Plus: love the candlelight pendants — just the right touch for this rustic kitchen. Also, notice the stylish metallic tile laid diagonally throughout the backsplash to add a nice visual effect. Everyone will agree, this kitchen is most definitely for wood lovers…look at the range hood, 100% wood also!
17. Provincial Stools…
The Little Plus: the large two door pantry…very functional. Also a nice touch, the provincial looking high back stool. They add a touch of country to this modern windowless kitchen.
