Inspired by its clients’ former home designed by renowned late architects Elizabeth and Winston Close, Albertsson Hansen Architecture and Interior Design chose a warm walnut wood—an increasingly popular choice in today’s design realm—for the cabinetry in this midcentury modern kitchen. Efficient storage, custom drawers designed for cookware and utensils, and integrated walnut paneling on the refrigerator all complement a convenient appliance garage—the perfect nook for small kitchen gadgets to be hidden from view when not in use.

A wall of glass-fronted cabinets that houses curated collections of dinnerware creates a striking focal point in this Ispiri-designed New Richmond lake home, which features medium-tone wood floors that serve as the neutral foundation for striking black and white enameled and stained cabinetry. (This high-contrast kitchen also flaunts mixed hardware styles and two-tone cabinets—both of which continue to shine in kitchens across the country.)

Adriatic Construction and Niosi Design took modern minimalism to new heights within the kitchen of this Minneapolis new build. White oak cabinetry treated with hardwax oil showcases the natural elegance of the wood, which boasts a popular reeded texture—sometimes seen etched into marble waterfall-edge islands and on bathroom vanities—atop the range and around the island base.
