When warm solid wood meets the rough surface of granite, an attractive and sustainable ensemble is created. A kitchen made of natural materials ensures a pleasant room climate, is durable, resistant and timelessly beautiful. We will show you how to combine functionality and aesthetics with a kitchen in natural design that is suitable for everyday use.

What are the advantages of a kitchen made from natural materials?

Bringing nature into the home with a kitchen - this is possible with materials such as wood, natural stone or ceramic. Cabinets made of solid oak, honey-coloured birch or light maple as well as worktops made of marble or slate impress with their warm, cosy look. At the same time, they are timeless and can withstand decades beyond trends - their long-lasting quality makes kitchens made from natural materials the ideal choice for anyone who uses their cooking area intensively.

Kitchens with a natural design are also popular due to their pleasant feel. Wood feels wonderfully warm, rough, cool natural stone and smooth marble flatter your skin. Solid wood offers another advantageous property: It absorbs moisture and releases it again in a controlled manner. In this way, it contributes to a balanced indoor climate

    Your kitchen from nature: Materials and their properties

    Are you planning a new kitchen and want nature to play an important role in it? With these materials, you can create a dream kitchen with natural flair

     

    • Natural stone such as granite and marble is cut-resistant, heat-resistant and remains beautiful for a long time with little maintenance. 

     

    • Over time, solid wood acquires a patina that tells stories. The deliberate traces of use make the surfaces even more attractive. And as an added bonus, If necessary, real wood can be polished, sanded, re-oiled or varnished and thus contributes to sustainability and value retention. 

     

    • Ceramic scores highly in terms of heat resistance, is scratch and impact resistant and can be cleaned thoroughly in no time at all thanks to its smooth texture. Ceramic worktops are particularly popular in modern kitchens with a natural flair. The material is also widely used for accessories and cookware. 

    Accessories from nature - for looks to fall in love with

    With appropriate accessories and atmospheric decorations, you can emphasise the rustic style of your kitchen made from natural materials. A tip that is as simple as it is effective: Arrange green plants on the windowsill, the work surface or on the floor. They create a cosy atmosphere and improve the indoor climate at the same time. Tip: Plant kitchen herbs in rustic pots made of ceramic, clay or enamel. 

     

    For a natural finishing touch, choose decorations and kitchen utensils made from wood and bamboo. Fittingly: Linen textiles, wicker lamps or - for a minimalist, modern look - design-orientated stone lampshades.

      The perfect connection: Cleverly combine natural materials and colours

      A kitchen in a natural design really comes into its own with a skilful choice of colours. It's worth matching wall colours, tiles and home textiles to the look of the kitchen: This allows you to create special accents and emphasise the natural look of a kitchen made of natural wood or stone.

      • Green is a classic for a natural look. The colour calms and relaxes, harmonises with wood and natural stone. A rich, dark green colour looks great with dark wood. Lime and mint green create a touch of Scandi chic with maple, birch or beech.

       

      • Wall and floor tiles in sand and cream tones visually enlarge small kitchens and make dark areas appear lighter. 

       

      • Terracotta floors stand for a cosy, Mediterranean style. You can maximise this with a lightly glazed kitchen made of natural wood. 

        Tip: A kitchen made of natural materials also unfolds its full effect in white - such as simple carpentry fronts made of white-stained fir, which exactly match the colour of the walls and ceilings. At the centre of such an ensemble, a matt black cooking island and BORA X Pure cooktop with integrated extractor hood emphasise the purist design. 

        Take a deep breath - without any cooking vapours The innovative way to filter cooking odours

        BORA cooktop extractor systems absorb odours where they arise - directly on the cooktop. 

        Whether a mini room or an open-plan concept in XL format - the cosy effect of a kitchen made of natural wood, ceramic, stone and other materials is perfectly accentuated in practically any room. You should pay attention to this:

         

        • Light-coloured wood expands the look of small kitchens. A harmonious partner to maple or birch surfaces is a light-coloured natural stone worktop. 

         

        • On generous surfaces, you have a free choice - for example in the form of an exciting contrast of a kitchen in dark wenge and a worktop in white marble. A white ceramic sink blends in almost seamlessly. 

         

        An open-plan kitchen and living area lends itself to a harmonious mix of materials. How about a walnut kitchen unit with a slate-clad kitchen island as an eye-catcher? 

         

        Tip: If the cooking zone and living area are close to each other, it's worth coordinating their looks. Do you love the warm, reddish tone of your walnut kitchen or would you prefer a light-coloured maple front? Arrange side tables or shelves made of the same material.
