Dark stained walnut

Rich, bold, and beautifully timeless – dark stained walnut is a statement finish that will never go out of style.

Why choose dark stained walnut?

If you’re looking for a kitchen that feels warm, refined and quietly luxurious, dark stained walnut is a perfect choice. The natural grain of the wood brings character, while the deep stain enhances its richness and adds visual depth. It works brilliantly in both contemporary and traditional settings – and pairs beautifully with everything from matt black to creamy whites and soft metallics.

A classic timber, reimagined for modern life

We love using walnut for its tactile grain and inherent elegance – but it’s the dark stain that really elevates it. This finish brings out the contrast and figuring in the wood, creating a feeling of craftsmanship and heritage with a modern edge. Whether used for full-height cabinetry or just a standout island, it always makes an impact.

Modern dark walnut kitchen ideas

Dark stained walnut works beautifully in contemporary kitchens. Think smooth, handleless cabinetry, sleek metal hardware, and integrated appliances – all softened by the warmth of the timber. It also looks great in mixed-material schemes: combine it with stone, brass, or contrasting painted cabinetry to create depth and distinction.

Dark stained walnut in traditional and Shaker kitchens

The rich tone of walnut adds depth and elegance to classic kitchen styles. In a Shaker design, it feels timeless and substantial – a natural fit for more traditional spaces. It has a rich, classic feel – especially when paired with marble worktops or antiqued brass accents. It also works beautifully on freestanding pieces like sideboards, bars or dressers, bringing character and warmth to a space.

Beautiful materials, expertly finished

We use high-quality walnut veneers that are precision-engineered for stability and finished by hand for a refined, durable result. Our dark stain is carefully developed to bring out the wood’s natural variation – highlighting its unique grain patterns and rich tones. The result is cabinetry with real depth, character and timeless appeal – beautifully made, and built for life.

Questions & Answers

1

Do you fit?

We are just as happy to fit, or simply supply the kitchen for your contractors to take it from there. Many of our clients are undergoing wider renovation projects, so using the contractor or a local carpenter or fitter can often be the most cost-effective option.

We are now also offering a fitting service in Greater London and the surrounding area, so please enquire with your designer as part of your design consultation and we'd be happy to help!

2

Do you come on site to measure?

A final site measure is all part of the fitting service, but if you would like us to come and do a final measure if your contractors are fitting, that's no problem. Depending on the complexity of the space and the travel distance from either London or Norfolk, the site measure starts from £250. All we ask is that your room is ready for us!
