Limed Oak

Naked Kitchens' brushed Limed Oak is a celebration of the natural beauty of timber. Stylish and contemporary yet also rustic and homely, it's light, bright and brings a gorgeous element of texture into your kitchen.

Limed Oak is brilliant for introducing a touch of traditional farmhouse warmth to a contemporary kitchen. In our Notting Hill project, Seal Pup White cabinets pair harmoniously with stunning, brushed Limed Oak accents to exude peace and quiet elegance. Smart storage solutions, such as under-stair cabinetry and open island shelving, maintain a calm, minimalist character while ensuring everything is within easy reach.

a bright, minimalist kitchen features light-colored wooden cabinets, a white marble countertop with an integrated farmhouse sink, and a brass faucet positioned in front of a large window overlooking green trees.

Naked Kitchens' Limed Oak finishes

We're very proud of our brushed Limed Oak finish - it's a style that we developed with a lot of care and work, and it involves meticulous craftsmanship to execute. The results are stunning - and really speak for themselves.

A modern kitchen features light wooden cabinets and flooring, open shelves with dishes, and a sleek, gray refrigerator. Glass-front cabinets display neatly arranged tableware. A kitchen island with drawers and a sink is adorned with a turquoise towel.

Glaven

The Glaven kitchen shows how brushed Limed Oak can bring texture, personality and warmth to a kitchen in neutral colours. Paired with white cabinetry, Caesarstone concrete worktops and open shelving, the kitchen has a light, calming Scandi vibe, its minimalism softened by the natural, grainy timber.

A modern kitchen features light wood cabinets with a natural grain, a white countertop, and a backsplash with vertical white tiles. The wall above is painted olive green, and a wooden shelf displays decorative items including a cutting board and vases. The floor is also light wood.

'Liming' oak is a traditional technique that involves carefully applying a special wax or whitewash to protect the timber and prevent it from absorbing dirt and moisture. But as well as being a practical treatment, it can look stunning.

Naked Kitchens' version of brushed Limed Oak involves a meticulous method that we've developed ourselves. It requires painstakingly brushing the timber to bring out the pores and grains with a beautiful light finish. Elegant and timeless, it's perfect for all kinds of different kitchen styles…
