Wood panelling for the kitchen is frequently identified as the best solution in terms of interior design in the event that the ultimate objectives of the project include:
- Giving movement to a design
- Emphasising the monochrome effect of a kitchen structure
- Providing the effect of continuity across the surfaces
- Equipping the kitchen with various different types of modules from the back-rests to the shelving and the open cabinets.
The reasons we have listed are just some of the many justifications there are for opting to choose wood panelling in the kitchen. Nevertheless, the final aim of the project essentially boils down to the desire to create a functional environment which is also distinguished by true elegance, plenty of character, an easily recognisable style that integrates perfectly with the overall feel of the other rooms.
Wood panelling for the kitchen: functionality and style
Also, in the event of choosing wood panelling for the kitchen, the panels – whether decorated or not – the shelving or open cabinets will generally be made of a wooden base or have a different finish, always with a view to creating pleasing contrasts and providing a feeling of movement to the surfaces, all of which will bestow a dynamic element to the entire structure.
Depending on the project’s specific requirements, the client’s particular taste or simply on the ultimate overall effect that is desired, wood panelling for the kitchen can be accomplished in a variety of different styles:
- Classic
- Country
- Modern
What should always remain unchanged is the absolute functionality of the kitchen which should include ample shelving for the display or storage of crockery, gadgets and utensils and shelves on which to organise the storage of ingredients that are needed to hand as you would find in a pantry. What will change, inevitably, is the style of the kitchen, with tasteful and luxurious choices of wood for a classic kitchen that is more linear, more accessible but despite these attributes, no less elegant when it comes to the woodwork for a thoroughly modern kitchen.
Another facet that is a welcome result of using wood panelling for the kitchen is the connecting element between the eating area and the living area. The latter might sometimes come into play through the use of practical partitions made out of wood panelling which has been designed and made to measure by our expert master craftsmen.
So, from what has been described so far, it is obvious that using wood panelling for the kitchen can be either purely decorative, a way in which to separate different areas for different purposes or, both decorative and functional. There are numerous factors that can influence the final choice and these can fluctuate between the client’s taste and their personal requirements to any restrictions with regard to the space which is available within the confines of the property in which the project is to be undertaken.
In any event, it is worth pointing out that, although once upon a time, wood panelling in the kitchen was exclusively used as a style of furnishing and came to be associated with a more classical style, nowadays, this kind of application can be put to good use even in the most modern of kitchens through the careful design of the panelling, the lines, the materials used, the colours that are chosen and in the décor that is chosen in order to achieve a more modern style.
