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 matte 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 cabinets 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 cabinets, sleek metal hardware, and integrated appliances – all softened by the warmth of the wood. It also looks great in mixed-material schemes: combine it with stone, brass, or contrasting painted cabinets 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 countertops or antiqued brass accents. It also works beautifully on freestanding pieces like sideboards, bars, or armoires, bringing character and warmth to a space.
