How to have a design and functional wooden kitchen?

One of the centerpieces of your home is the kitchen. We spend time in it. Whether semi-open, open to the living room or closed, it is still better to feel good there to cook good homemade dishes.

As we told you in our article on 2022 trends, light wood will be in the spotlight this year. And good news, it is timeless! So, we have decided to give you some tips for having a beautiful and practical wooden kitchen!

Choose furniture according to the size of your kitchen

Your kitchen is either already existing and fitted out, or you are going to have it done by a professional. It will consist of cupboards and drawers! But depending on the size of your room, you will be able to add other kitchen furniture such as sideboards, consoles or wall shelves for example. 

If your kitchen is very spacious, it will necessarily be easier to make it very functional thanks to its many cupboards, drawers and furniture. But if the area does not allow you to install all the furniture, you will have to make a choice (but I promise, you will like your kitchen anyway).

Furniture for a spacious kitchen

If your kitchen is spacious, and you like to cook and spend time in your room, now is the time to have fun with its layout. In addition to the already existing fitted kitchen furniture, there are many specialized wooden furniture for kitchens to add on top. For example, you can add a wooden sideboard, where your cake pans, dishes and reception services will easily find their place. Sideboards are a must for your kitchens, thanks to their perfect proportions to store what you want.

A solid wood console will be ideal for placingyour fruit and vegetable baskets, your kitchen accessories and some decorative objects such as your favorite cookbook. Functional and robust, you will love the authentic look it will give to your kitchen.

Functional furniture for a small kitchen

On the other hand, if you have a small kitchen, and you have the impression of running out of space despite your cupboards, a few wall shelves will provide additional storage. Whether it's to put pretty boxes with coffee, tea, flour, sugar, or to showcase your favorite glasses.

Some low sideboards have the advantage of having a significant depth, which will allow you to easily store your utensils, or your kitchen linen for example (aprons, tea towels, towels, etc.) in the drawers. In addition to being beautiful, wood will bring brightness to your room. And of course, your food processor will easily find its place on it: a real chef's place!

A central island, and a wooden worktop

To have space for cooking, the worktop is an essential element in your kitchen. A solid wood worktop will give your kitchen a considerable cachet, it will bring softness, brightness and make your kitchen warm. In addition, since wood is a noble, living and natural material, it will face time with brilliance.

If the size of your kitchen allows it (above 15 m² so that it is not too imposing), fitting out a central island is a very good idea. Indeed, it quickly turns into a place of exchange and sharing. In addition to being practical, ergonomic, it is user-friendly. :)
