Birch Plywood Kitchen with Pegboard Utility Wall

This compact kitchen embodies quiet Scandinavian minimalism through a warm, neutral palette of pale birch plywood, brushed stainless steel, and crisp white tile. The dominant material is birch plywood, used for the full-height pegboard wall on the left, which serves as both a functional storage system with integrated hooks and shelves, and a striking textural feature. Two brown canvas aprons hang from the pegboard, adding organic softness. The L-shaped workspace features a seamless stainless steel countertop and double basin sink, paired with a metal grid utensil rack mounted on the white tiled backsplash. Integrated LED strip lighting beneath the floating wooden shelf provides clean, even task illumination, while the large rectangular ceiling light adds overall brightness. The spatial layout is efficient and open, with the pegboard wall acting as a visual anchor that balances the cool metallic elements. This design suits small urban apartments, design-conscious homeowners, and anyone seeking a highly functional yet serene cooking space that feels more like a crafted workshop than a typical kitchen.
