A wooden kitchen has been a popular choice within the high-end segment for years. Where minimalist white kitchens long dominated, at Culimaat we see a clear shift towards more natural materials, rich textures and warm contrasts. Wood brings character, depth and authenticity to your interior, without compromising on luxury or refinement.
In this blog, we take you through three exclusive projects in which wood plays a leading role. Each kitchen design shows how versatile a wooden kitchen can be: from a dark bespoke cabinet wall to a wooden table integrated into the cooking island.

1. A wooden kitchen with a unique cabinet wall as a statement
In this single-storey villa, the imposing wooden cabinet wall forms the architectural heart of the space. The wall was designed entirely bespoke and executed in dark-stained wood veneer. The deep tone gives the wooden kitchen an exclusive, powerful appearance.
What makes this kitchen design special is the subtle balance between dark and light. To prevent the wall from appearing solid or heavy, a vertical strip of light has been integrated. It runs from floor to ceiling and creates an airy interruption in the volume of wood. The result is a spatial effect that fits perfectly within a modern living kitchen.
A white kitchen with wooden accents
The cooking island, executed in a high-quality white composite, forms a refined contrast with the warm wood structure. This material is:
- Stain-resistant
- Scratch-resistant
- Heat-resistant
- Easy to maintain
Combining white and wood creates a tension between sleek and natural. It is precisely that combination that makes this wooden kitchen timeless and distinctive.
2. A modern living kitchen with wood and white in perfect harmony
This villa underwent a complete transformation: from a rural kitchen to a sleek, modern wooden kitchen with international allure. The design is based on our kitchen concept Ligna, in which wood and minimalism come together.
The white cooking island forms the base of calm in the space. Opposite stands a dark, bespoke wooden cabinet wall in which all appliances are seamlessly integrated. By working with handleless fronts and clean lines, the whole remains minimalist, despite the rich use of materials.
An exclusive bespoke kitchen
The client explicitly wanted a living kitchen with an atmospheric function, plenty of daylight and a harmonious combination of white and wood. These wishes were translated into a design in which light, material and layout align perfectly. Would you like to discover how we can translate your living wishes into an exclusive wooden kitchen? We would be delighted to invite you for a personal consultation in our showroom.
A light kitchen with dark accents
The luxury kitchen above was designed as an extension of the living room. Thanks to the lighter wood tone and the abundance of daylight, a soft, open base emerges on which the integrated gas fireplace and TV unit reinforce the living function. The addition of an integrated gas fireplace with TV unit strengthens the living function of the kitchen. The result is a true living kitchen in which cooking, relaxing and spending time together come together.
This wooden kitchen shows that modern design and warmth do not exclude one another, but rather reinforce each other.
3. A stylish wooden kitchen with integrated table
In this project, everything revolves around architectural refinement. The robust cooking island flows seamlessly into an integrated solid wooden table. This combination creates a natural connection between cooking and dining.
The wooden table is made of light oak and forms a warm counterbalance to the sleek white worktops. The cabinet wall, executed in a dark wood tone, contains a floating fireplace. Thanks to an ingenious metal support structure, it appears to float in the space, a technical feat that brings design and construction together.
A light wooden kitchen with a white worktop
What makes this wooden kitchen special is the layering of materials:
- Light oak
- A dark wood veneer cabinet wall
- A white worktop
- Black steel details
The result is a stylish kitchen in which contrast, luxury and functionality are perfectly balanced.
Why choose a wooden kitchen?
A wooden kitchen combines warmth, character and exclusivity in one timeless design. Thanks to the natural grain and colour variations, every kitchen is unique and perfectly suited to bespoke work. Wood also combines effortlessly with materials such as marble, steel and composite, making both modern and more outspoken designs possible. With the right finish, a wooden kitchen is durable, easy to maintain and a lasting enrichment of your interior.
