Unfitted Wood
01
Best for
Unfitted kitchens are gaining because they add character back into hyper-integrated rooms.
02
Designer move
Pair warm wood with honed stone, plaster walls, concealed appliance zones, and simple hardware.
03
Trend note
Unfitted kitchens are gaining because they add character back into hyper-integrated rooms. Use a freestanding island, furniture legs, mixed storage, or a hutch moment so the kitchen feels assembled and personal rather than sealed shut.
04
Avoid
Avoid making every cabinet look freestanding. The charm comes from selective furniture moments, not a loss of function.
