5 Things Wooden Replacement Cabinet Doors Can Bring To Your Kitchen

Warm, durable, beautiful to look at and extremely versatile, wood can be used to craft everything from bespoke cabinets to worktops, open shelving and kitchen islands.

If you want to celebrate natural materials and create a space that feels cosy, inviting and connected to nature, wood is an ideal material to incorporate into your kitchen design.

Let’s explore a few ways wooden replacement cabinet doors can enhance your home.

5 Wooden Replacement Cabinet Doors Ideas

1. Wood can be used as a beautifully textured neutral tone 

When thinking about neutral colours your mind might initially be drawn to white, cream and grey hues, however natural wood can also be used as a foundational tone within a wider design concept. 

Pro Tip: If you want to use wood as a primary neutral tone within your kitchen, choose replacement cabinet doors in a warm oak finish. Not only does this tone pair with a range of other colours, but the wood grain also offers some additional texture in a way that will really lift and breathe life into your space.

2. Want a pop of colour? Wood can do that too!

For those who prefer kitchen spaces with a touch of drama, wood can also be used as a refreshing pop of colour to bring contrast to deeper-toned cabinetry. Pairing deep green or indigo blue replacement cabinet doors with a striking oak worktop will create a bold, super contemporary look that still feels very inviting and cosy.

3. Create contrast with different wood grain textures

While bold colour pairings are one of the most common ways to create contrast, mixing and matching different textures is another approach that can instantly fill your space with personality and style.

Simplicity often creates the most striking spaces, so try pairing wooden replacement cabinet doors in a light oak finish with a rich brown parquet floor to create a timeless kitchen that really embraces elements of traditional design. 

Pro Tip: Neutral-toned wooden cabinets can be paired with both cooler and warm-toned woods, so if you’re looking for a versatile option, the Bella Shaker doors in a Halifax Natural Oak finish could be ideal.

4. Juxtapose wood and other striking materials for a layered look 

The versatility of wood is one of its strengths, and this means that it can be paired with a wide variety of other characterful materials to create a space that makes an impact as soon as you step inside.

Natural wood can be paired with everything from light-reflecting chrome and stainless steel accents to warm brushed brass, cool marble or sleek glass features, so this technique works regardless of whether you want to embrace modernity or retain plenty of traditional character.

Pro Tip: Don't forget that there are so many ways to incorporate wood into a kitchen space, including flooring, backsplashes, bespoke plate racks, and even smaller features like statement chopping boards and cabinet handles.

5. Wood can bring a sense of grandeur and quality 

As well as being associated with feelings of homeliness and rustic charm, wooden cabinetry can also give any kitchen a touch of impressive grandeur. Making wood the star of the show is a great way to lean into its grand qualities, particularly when you choose a deep wood tone that has a striking grain. 

However, if you prefer understated design, it’s also possible to use timber in a more subtle way simply by incorporating just a couple of wooden features into your space. For example, you could pair streamlined white cabinetry with a statement wooden dining table and open wooden shelving, or a tiled floor with sleek slab style replacement cabinet doors in a rich walnut finish.
