Before we have already created a list about modern wooden cabinets, so now, we chose to create another list about the wonderful wood cabinet collection we have over the internet. Without further ado, let us check out the list below.
Boston Black & Green Kitchen
Simple natural maple cabinets and granite countertops create a clean and fresh look – and new appliances and better storage options greatly improve the functionality of the space, too.
Boston Kitchen Project
The cabinets are a natural maple with a high gloss finish which was paired with granite countertops. What more can be perfect?
Chelsea
Light cabinets, tile floors, dark countertop – what more can you ask for in a small kitchen? The space may be small but using a modular system, we can pretty much say that this space is divine.
Contemporary Kitchen Remodel
The Maple cabinetry in this Boston home is very pretty – it seems like you’re looking at a show house.
Pittsburgh Home
The warm tones of wooden cabinetry lend softness to the clean lines of the kitchen. Although the space receives only ambient natural light from the loft’s bank of windows, the stainless work table reflects to brighten the area from all angles.
Goleta Residence
With walls this pretty, any design for wooden cabinets would really make this room stunning. Simple design, yet beautiful outcome.
Home # 19
Widen the aisles. Whether you opt for the traditional work triangle or to break up your kitchen into work zones, pay attention to your kitchen’s aisle widths.
Massachusetts Federal Home
Choose light colors. Lighter-colored cabinetry will appeal to more buyers. “Dark kitchens are out,” notes Gangi. “People prefer light and bright.”
Oakes
We note friends saying that the peninsula with stove and hanging cabinets is just magnificent.
Old Oak Kitchen
If you want to try your hand at making and finishing a wood countertop yourself rather than ordering a fully finished product, Waterlox is the sealer and finish that comes up repeatedly; just like how this kitchen space was done.
Portland Kitchen
Jordan Iverson Signature Homes did great in choosing the cabinet color of clear lacquer on maple, the bamboo flooring, and the concrete color of Ceaserstone counter top.
San Francisco Contemporary
The light treatment done for this San Francisco home is just lovely – the pendants by the kitchen island are simple but definitely functional. The cabinets grain contrast with the flooring but sure looks great!
Serenity in Maui
The counter top in this kitchen is honed absolute black granite; but note how astonishing the cabinets are. We can only hope we have them at home.
Snowmass Country Club Townhome
The cabinets are white Oak quarter sawn and the floors are oiled Walnut. How do this kitchen space make you feel?
Sonoma / Sea Ranch Redux
In the kitchen more modern updates include white precast concrete countertops. “You walk up to it and you really don’t know what it is, but it has a sense of permanence, a quality that’s innate,” Willers says.
And there you have it! The 15 Contemporary Wooden Kitchen Cabinets for you own perusal.
