Handleless wooden kitchens: a new sleek and modern trend
Posted on 8th March 2022
Textured, grainy wooden cabinetry, matt black appliances, slim industrial open shelving and concrete-inspired worktops. I smell a new kitchen trend…
So, handleless wooden kitchens were everywhere at the KBB Show in Birmingham. Taking inspiration from nature, many stands put theirs out on display. There was everything from simple, white and oak Scandi cabinetry to dark and modern designs with an industrial finish. The kitchens were so stunning, you could spot the beauty of the grainy wood a mile away.
So say goodbye to handles, because you won’t miss them. Get that contemporary look by choosing grainy wooden units with push-to-open mechanisms. Also, go for soft-close technology or handleless kitchen cabinets with cut-out handles.
