We all love painted cabinets in the kitchen because of how crisp and clean they can look. Stained cabinets, on the other hand, can also look clean and fresh especially after they are upgraded with white stone, wood washed techniques and beautiful cabinet hardware. After that, they are not only beautiful, but they are timeless kitchens that will stand the test of times.
If you happen to like traditional design with a modern twist, then you will love these timeless kitchens below. Each and every one of them has what it takes to make anyone want to reverse their previously painted kitchen cabinets to natural wood color again. All these kitchen images were found on Pinterest where it is really hard to track the source and credit. If you happen to be the photographer or designer of one of these kitchens, please leave a comment, and I’ll be happy to credit you.
The mood in this kitchen is perfectly balanced. Brown stained cabinets add to the warm side while the thin marble backsplash tiles add a sophisticated touch. The copper hardware and beautiful brass sconces are the doses of glam that never tire.
For a more modern still timeless kitchen, light stained cabinets will be great. The slabs of marble for the backsplash behind the stove and all the way to the ceiling just accent that modernity.
Love the mixture of rustic and sophistication in this kitchen. The cabinets look like they had a wood washed technique to lighten them up, which in my opinion, makes them look gorgeous and stand out from the rest of the darker stained cabinets. The walls are plastered, and the floors are chevron. The range is La Cornue, and I really love the beams on the ceiling.
And this is where traditional wood color cabinets are brought to present times with the use of white subway tiles and Carrara marble countertop.
Another fantastic kitchen with no upper cabinets, a very European kitchen style, beamed ceiling and terra-cotta tiles for the backsplash.
Who said you can not have shelves in front of windows. As long as they are glass ceiling hanging shelves, there is no reason why not.
This kitchen is rather spacious; however, it’s what is called a corridor kitchen where the entire kitchen is along a wall. The breakfast table is a Spanish table.
As you can see wood stained kitchen cabinets don’t necessarily have to scream mahogany and being stacked in the past; instead they can be fresh and modern at the same time.
