At the heart of this thoughtfully redesigned kitchen is the custom red oak cabinetry. We always love a project that lets the natural properties of the wood shine through and in this kitchen does just that with the warmth and natural texture of the oak highlighted by the clean and modern slab front style.
Functionality is seamlessly integrated into the design, with open shelving that offers both display and accessibility. Floating shelves extend the warmth of the cabinetry into the backsplash area, providing a perfect platform for everyday essentials, curated objects, or personal touches that make the kitchen feel lived-in and loved. A built-in wine shelf and book storage further elevate the space, ensuring that cookbooks and favorite vintages are always within reach. These thoughtful design elements not only add personality but also enhance the usability of the kitchen, making it a space that truly works for those that call this home.
This project, featured in Dwell, is part of a larger transformation by Studio Nocturne that breathes new life into a midcentury suburban home. By embracing natural materials and clean, intentional design, the cabinetry becomes a key element in creating a space that is both modern and deeply personal. The result is a kitchen that feels fresh and contemporary yet warm and inviting.
