About this design

This compact kitchen showcases a warm, neutral palette dominated by light plywood tones paired with cool grey polished concrete flooring. The dominant materials include natural plywood for the cabinetry, island structure, and upper wall panels, complemented by ribbed translucent glass on the island base that softly diffuses light. Thoughtful lighting design features multiple linear LED pendant lights suspended at varying heights, creating sharp geometric shadows across the floor, while under-cabinet LED strips provide functional task lighting. The spatial layout is highly efficient, with a central kitchen island that doubles as a prep and serving surface, open shelving for display, and a pegboard wall for utensil storage. A small wooden step stool adds an organic touch. The overall mood is calm, contemplative, and Scandinavian-inspired, making it ideal for small urban apartments, minimalist homeowners, or anyone seeking a functional yet serene cooking environment that feels more like a crafted wooden workshop than a traditional kitchen.

How to get this look

  • Use light-colored plywood or birch veneer for all visible cabinetry and wall paneling to create warmth and continuity.
  • Incorporate ribbed or fluted glass panels on the lower half of the kitchen island to add texture while maintaining visual lightness.
  • Install multiple linear LED pendant lights at staggered heights to cast dramatic geometric shadows on the floor.
  • Pair the warm wood tones with cool polished concrete or microcement flooring for material contrast.
