Wood Kitchen Cabinets: Which Style Is Right For You?

wood kitchen cabinets

When you dream of a kitchen remodel, what do you see? For many of us, it’s not just about new appliances or a fresh coat of paint. It’s about a space that feels like a warm hug, a place where memories are made. At the heart of that feeling are your cabinets. They are the backbone of your kitchen, and a beautiful, well-made set of wood kitchen cabinets can transform the entire space.

At Crestwood Cabinetry, we understand that this isn’t just a construction project. It’s about creating the heart of your home. We pour our passion and expertise into every piece we build, handcrafting custom cabinets that are as unique as you are. With so many options available, choosing the right style can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’re here to help. Take a closer look at some of our favorite styles and find the one that speaks to you.

Rustic Barnwood Cabinets: A Story Etched in Every Board

Imagine a kitchen with a soul, a room that feels like it has a history all its own. That’s the essence of our Rustic Barnwood cabinets. But unlike traditional reclaimed wood, which can come with impurities, we’ve partnered with Forever Barnwood to use new lumber that has been meticulously crafted to capture that timeless, weathered look. This means you get all the rustic charm and deep, rich texture you crave, but with the durability and reliability of new, high-quality wood. The natural knots and unique grain patterns in each piece create a one-of-a-kind kitchen that feels authentic, cozy, and deeply connected to nature.

Quartersawn Oak: Classic Elegance, Enduring Quality

If you appreciate the quiet sophistication of classic design, then our Quartersawn Oak cabinetry might be the perfect match. Quartersawing is a special milling technique that creates a distinctive, straight grain pattern that gives the wood a stunning sense of depth. It’s a look that’s both timeless and refined, adding a touch of old-world elegance to your kitchen. But this style isn’t just about good looks; it’s also incredibly functional. 

Our Quartersawn Oak kitchenette, for example, incorporates thoughtful features like a pullout lazy susan and a pullout spice rack. This is a style that proves you don’t have to sacrifice modern convenience for classic beauty. For discerning homeowners who want their wood kitchen cabinets to be a blend of graceful design and clever functionality, quartersawn oak is an unparalleled choice.

The Blue Kitchenette: A Bold Splash of Personality

Your kitchen should be a reflection of your personality, and sometimes that means embracing color. Our Blue Kitchenette is a vibrant testament to the power of a bold choice. A beautifully painted cabinet can create a space that feels both personal and welcoming. This style features stunning raised Windsor door panels that add a traditional, handcrafted feel to the vibrant blue finish. The design is elevated by gold hardware and chiseled edge countertops, which together create a sophisticated yet playful atmosphere. We’ve also incorporated smart storage solutions like a spacious side pantry and a diagonal base cabinet that uses corner space efficiently. This style is ideal for homeowners who want their kitchen to be a true hub of energy and happiness.

Blue Distressed: The Lived-In Look You’ll Love

For those who love the charm of a piece that looks like it has a story, our Blue Distressed style is a perfect fit. This technique gives the cabinets a beautifully aged, slightly worn look, as if they’ve been part of your family’s home for decades. This popular look can be applied in various colors to match your personal taste. Beyond the charming aesthetics, this kitchenette is highly functional. We’ve designed it with a knife pullout, a tray pullout with a roll-out above, and a three-drawer range base with two-tier storage. This blend of rustic charm and intelligent storage solutions is what makes these wood kitchen cabinets so appealing.

Modern Farmhouse: The Best of Both Worlds

The Modern Farmhouse style has captured the hearts of many for a good reason: it’s the perfect marriage of two distinct aesthetics. It combines the cozy, rustic comfort of a traditional farmhouse with the clean lines and crisp finishes of modern design. Our take on this style embraces this blend wholeheartedly. We use unique, stylish elements like vessel sinks and cultured marble tops to create a fresh, clean look. Every detail is considered, right down to the custom-built drawers with a special notch to accommodate plumbing. The inset doors and drawer fronts sit flush with the cabinet frame, a hallmark of high-quality craftsmanship that creates a polished and sophisticated appearance.

Stow-Away Bench: The Smartest Seat in the House

A kitchen is often the busiest room in the house—the place where homework gets done, coffee is shared, and impromptu conversations happen. A well-designed kitchen should be able to keep up with all of it. Our Stow-Away Bench is an innovative solution that adds both seating and storage to your space. Imagine a beautiful bench that, with a lift of the wood top, reveals a hidden storage compartment. What makes this piece so special is that it can be built to match any of our other cabinet styles, making it a seamless, functional addition. It’s a perfect example of how custom design can solve real-world problems and add a layer of functionality and comfort to your home.
