How to Bring a Sense of the Outside in With Beautiful Kitchen Cupboard Doors

Connecting with nature can be hugely beneficial for our sense of well-being and bringing elements of the outside into our homes can help us to create calming spaces that allow us to recharge at the end of a long and busy day.

Whether your kitchen opens up into your garden and you want to create a connection between these spaces, or you’re simply keen to bring as many natural elements into your kitchen as possible, we hope you’ll find plenty of inspiration here today.

Maximise natural light

If you’re committing to a full renovation project, installing large windows, sliding glass doors, or skylights can bring plenty of natural light into your kitchen. Not only will this make your kitchen feel more spacious, but it will also allow you to see your garden and the sky when you’re cooking and dining. 

Pro Tip: Additional doors and windows will likely have an impact on the overall layout of your kitchen, so it’s important to think about positioning your furniture in ways that allow you to really appreciate the light and the views outside.

Choose a colour palette featuring tones found in nature 

Whether you want to keep your colour palette as neutral as possible or play with bold, bright colours to create an atmosphere that feels vibrant and energetic, looking to nature is a perfect way to put together a cohesive colour palette that reflects your personality.

Green is a supremely soothing and uplifting colour, making it a popular choice for both traditional and contemporary kitchens alike. If you want green to be the most prominent colour in your kitchen, choosing new kitchen cupboard doors in your favourite tone of green will instantly give your space plenty of personality.

Happy Doors kitchen cupboard doors are available in a range of green hues. Our Bella Shaker doors have a timeless quality with clean lines and a raised frame that suits a wide variety of different kitchen styles. This range comes in a number of green tones, including a deep matt kombu green, a lighter matt pistachio green, and an earthy matt sage green.

Showcase natural materials 

From natural wood floors and linen light shades, there are so many different ways to incorporate natural materials into your kitchen. Installing open wooden shelving is a great way to make a feature out of natural materials whilst also providing extra storage options for everything from your favourite ceramic crockery to your cookbook collection. 

Pro Tip: Refresh your shelves seasonally to give your space a new look and feel.

Style your space with houseplants 

From potted cacti on your windowsill to a collection of fresh herbs that you can use in your cooking or a bunch of fresh flowers on your dining table, incorporating houseplants into your kitchen is one of the simplest ways to invite nature into your home. 

Pots for houseplants come in a variety of materials, including textured rattan and sleek concrete, which means there are even more opportunities to celebrate natural materials in a way that feels elegant and understated.

Celebrate wood finishes

Natural materials can be used to great effect as the main element in your space by choosing kitchen cupboard doors with a beautiful natural wood finish. Whether a cool toned urban oak or a warm Halifax natural oak is better suited to your tastes, you’ll have the chance to appreciate the natural beauty of the wood grain every time you step into your kitchen.

Choosing wooden kitchen cupboard doors will also allow you to experiment with incorporating colour into your space in different ways, which can be achieved through selecting colourful accessories, including statement rugs, wallpaper and linens.
