Dark brown oak wood kitchen with sandblasting finish
In this project, the kitchen was planned early on during the furniture layout stage of the apartment, and several structural changes were made accordingly.
The dining area was relocated and merged with the central island, making the island the heart of the home.
This combination created a continuous flow and a central focal point in the kitchen, offering multiple seating options:
-
At the island itself.
-
At the dining area, which can be extended toward the living room for hosting.
-
Using the island as both storage and a buffet-style serving area, as well as a cozy spot for coffee or a light snack.
As a result, the cooktop was moved to a wall farther away from the dining area, and a long kitchen wall was designed to maximize its full length, extending up to the beginning of the hallway.
This wall includes a coffee corner, complete with a dedicated surface for accessories, hidden LED lighting, and specialized drawers for cups and mugs.
In addition, two 60 cm deep refrigerators were chosen, along with a sink and a dishwasher.
The selected kitchen fronts are made of dark brown oak wood that underwent a sandblasting process, highlighting the natural wood grain and giving it a rugged, organic look.
Minimalist brushed brass sliding handles were integrated, matching the golden-toned light fixtures.
The countertop, made from Caesarstone’s Concrete Series, connects seamlessly with a 120/60 backsplash that mimics a natural beige-toned canvas with a textured, raw feel — complementing the rustic fronts and creating a warm, calm atmosphere in the space.
