Wood has never gone out of fashion when it comes to home interior design. This natural decorative material works great in virtually any form – as an element of furniture in living rooms, decorative stairs or in the kitchen, where the focal point of this room can be effectively made wooden fronts.
Eco style is celebrating its moments of triumph among designers and interior architects. In terms of colors, we are currently most delighted by the colors of the earth – green, all kinds of shades of gray and beige. In the furniture, wood, stone finishing elements and decors stylistically referring to these natural, raw materials reign supreme. In addition, with current technological possibilities, wood can be freely combined with other materials and play with styles when designing interiors.
When deciding on a new kitchen, it is worth choosing something that will never go out of fashion and will always be timeless – that is, elements of wood and stone, which can now be effectively combined with other materials. When choosing kitchen furniture made entirely of wood, remember that this natural material can also be a charming decorative element that will give the entire interior the right character.
When looking at kitchen spaces, it is worth remembering that kitchens, like bathrooms, are specific interiors. There is usually no room for radical seasonal changes that we often decide on in the case of living rooms or bedrooms. Choosing kitchen cabinets is usually an investment for many years.
So if our goal is a timeless kitchen design, let’s choose furniture with built-in wooden elements, which will never go out of fashion. Elegant display cabinets, subtle drawer handles and fronts decorated with millings will always fit into current trends. What’s more, this aesthetic suits both Provencal, English and Scandinavian interiors arranged in an idyllic tone. Thanks to this, you can also easily change the style of the interior – you just need to take care of the right accessories.
Wooden accents have been on the list of the most desirable additions to kitchen furniture for years. Whether they are countertops, furniture fronts or floor panels – wood will always find its right place in kitchens. Sometimes these are raw elements full of grain and knots, other times smooth, veneered surfaces, or kitchens painted with various paints with visible grain or smooth-pore.
Wood in the kitchen is an incredibly effective finish. It adds a homely warmth and coziness to the space, thus breaking – especially in minimalist arrangements – the cold, austere style.
We should also remember that almost everything goes well with wood – from brick, through shiny tiles, to architectural concrete.
The trend that wooden fronts are associated only with classic and old-fashioned kitchens is also becoming a thing of the past.
Nowadays, this refined raw material, best found in its natural, even raw form, is ubiquitous in every style, both in the interiors of large houses and small apartments. The return to wood is a very strong stylistic trend at the moment.
– Bold combinations of different structures and materials with wood are already standard. All the most popular design styles today, such as New York, French, Hampton or glamour, are mostly based on wooden elements, and are only distinguished by shapes, colours and types of wood – comments Agnieszka Adamek-Zemke, manager of the Mundo Cocinas company from Elbląg, which specialises in the production of excellent quality wooden furniture fronts and kitchen furniture.
Wood is making a triumphant return to our living interiors and furniture also thanks to increasingly advanced technology, which allows us to combine this natural raw material in various conventions with other materials and create new designs based on wood.
– In the past, production possibilities were more limited when it comes to the patterns of wooden fronts – now the ingenuity of manufacturers and the development of machines creating various forms have evolved greatly – adds Agnieszka Adamek-Zemke. – That is why we are able to produce wooden fronts and appropriate decorative elements for any style of home. Here, our only limitation, and that of our clients, will be our imagination.
In kitchen furniture manufactured by Mundo Cocinas, wood is exposed both in a modern style – using simple, raw forms, as well as in a rustic or French style, where it is possible to use various patterns of painted fronts, various accessories, usually in light shades of grey, white or beige.
