Wood in the kitchen
The kitchen is not only a place for culinary journeys around the world, but also a space of style and aesthetics. Materials play a crucial role in design, especially when it comes to cabinets, countertops, and adjoining furniture. Whether you choose real wood or an authentic wood reproduction, the trend of integrating wooden elements into the kitchen remains consistent and strong. In this article, we show you why wood, in its various forms, continues to be a popular and relevant topic in the kitchen world.
The timeless appeal of wood
Wood is a material that radiates warmth and natural aesthetics. In today's world, dominated by urbanization and technology, wood brings back a piece of nature into our living spaces. This connection to nature is essential for many people who seek a place of tranquility and well-being in their kitchens.
Versatility in design and style
One of wood's greatest advantages is its versatility. From rustic country kitchens to modern, minimalist designs – wood adapts seamlessly to different styles. There is even real wood available, lacquered in your favorite color. For anyone who wants to add a personal, modern touch to wood themes. Real wood with its unique grain can serve as a central focal point, while wood reproductions offer a consistent and homogeneous look. It doesn't always have to be the entire kitchen either. A wooden wall shelf can also become a real eyecatcher.
The feel of wood:
Genuine feeling and innovative reproductions
A decisive argument in favor of real wood is often the haptics. Real wood undeniably feels natural and pleasant, which is an essential part of its charm. Yet nowadays the haptic qualities of reproductions have also been impressively advanced. Techniques such as the „Synchronpore“ make it possible for the tangible texture of reproductions to match exactly with the visible wood texture. This development means that even connoisseurs can sometimes barely distinguish real wood from a high-quality reproduction.
The neoLODGE in Oak Diamond:
Real wood in its most beautiful form
An excellent example of using real wood in the kitchen is the neoLODGE in Oak Diamond. The color choice is a true classic. A kitchen in white with wood. This design impressively demonstrates how real wood captures the spirit of the times – with a grooved structure that is both aesthetically pleasing and interesting. The neoLODGE can be planned minimally as a kitchen island only or as a complete kitchen, depending on space and requirements. It offers flexibility in color choices – from lighter to darker wood – so everyone can choose according to their personal preference. This design illustrates the true versatility and timeless beauty of real wood.
ARTLINE:
Trendy design through authentic wood reproduction
The counterpart to neoLodge is our ARTLINE, which similarly embraces the modern, grooved look, but implements it as an authentic wood reproduction. At first glance, it is difficult to recognise that this is not real wood. Even the slight grooved texture is tangible, underscoring the quality of the reproduction. The ARTLINE impressively demonstrates that any trend theme – like grooved wooden fronts in this case – can be adopted, regardless of whether one prefers real wood or reproduction. The decision between real wood and wood reproduction is a highly personal choice, depending equally on aesthetic preferences as well as practical considerations.
Conclusion:
Wood remains a trending topic in the kitchen
Whether real wood or wood reproduction – both effectively bring the theme of wood into your kitchen. This material stands for closeness to nature, stylistic diversity, and sustainability. It creates a warm, inviting atmosphere that suits the heart of every kitchen. The neoLODGE in Diamond oak and the ARTLINE represent two variants and show that choosing wood in the kitchen is a decision for timeless beauty and functionality, regardless of whether you select the genuine material or an authentic reproduction. And best of all: you can combine wood freely with your favorite colors, and your kitchen will always radiate, at least a hint, of warmth.
