Create a natural kitchen (without the hefty price tag!)

Published on 02 Mar 2022

Bring the outdoors in with these beautiful natural kitchen ideas.

For generations, homeowners have sought to replicate nature's soothing effects, using natural kitchen décor.

In light of various lockdowns, this kitchen trend has risen in popularity. More than ever before, people want to connect with nature and bring the outdoors into their homes.

Natural kitchen design is all about mixing raw materials, organic elements and earthy hues that mimic nature's serenity. However, raw materials like solid wood and stone come with a hefty price tag.

We're here to show you how to create a natural-looking, nature-inspired kitchen that won't cost you the Earth (pun intended).

These natural kitchen ideas can be used in conjunction with each other or as a stand-alone feature. However you decide to use these natural kitchen ideas, they're sure to bring a serene feel to your home.

Nature-inspired colours

What says natural more than green?

Whether used sparingly or daringly, our Hunter Green and New Forest finishes are a great way to bring lush greenery into your home. 

What's more, these nature-inspired hues mix wonderfully with wood features, adding to the natural kitchen look.

Textured design features

As we've mentioned, solid wood comes with a hefty price tag. But, you can still create the natural wood look using life-like finishes.

The kitchen offers so many opportunities to incorporate wood finishes into your design; worktops, open shelving, handlerails, plinths, cabinetry or even crate drawers.

Natural materials

If you live in an older property, take advantage of the natural materials bestowed upon the building.

For example, leave supporting beams open and expose the bricks of one wall. Combine this with wood open shelving for a cost-effective natural kitchen.

Stone finishes

We've talked a lot about wood textures, but stone finishes also work well in modern natural kitchens.

Opt for the life-like stone finish of our Milano range in worktops, splashbacks, plinths, doors or panelling and combine with an exposed brick wall for a natural industrial look.

Plants

You don't need to be an interior expert to notice that plants have taken the interior design world by storm, and we love it!

Plants bring any kitchen to life, and no natural kitchen would be the same without them.

Plants aren't just good for natural kitchen design either – they're also good for you. Plants help purify air, bringing you both health and aesthetic benefits.
