Kitchens That Take Their Cues From Nature

Natural kitchen design is a trending topic right now. While we think it can create a stunning moment in your kitchen’s overall aesthetic, it must be done right (ie, steer clear of the orange-tinged stain of the 80s). We do love painted cabinets, and Shea and the design team utilize them frequently in their projects, but there’s something about untouched materials that feels timeless, organic, and just the right amount of incompletion. There’s even a way to combine them for a modern natural kitchen design! Below are a few of our favorite natural kitchen design ideas from the Studio McGee archives, inspired by elements found in nature, juxtaposed materials, and industrial accents. These spaces with organic natural kitchen design focus on playing up the beautiful wood grains and tones on the cabinets to create an organic and traditional feeling with a modern twist. Browse these natural kitchen design ideas and get inspired to rethink your own space.
