Why Wood Finishes Are Making a Comeback
For years, white and gray cabinets dominated kitchen design. But homeowners are increasingly drawn back to the warmth and character that only wood-tone finishes can provide. Modern wood finishes have evolved far beyond the orange-toned oak of the 1990s — today's options feature refined grain patterns, sophisticated undertones, and finishes that feel both current and timeless.
Whether you go all-in with wood cabinets or mix them with painted finishes for a two-tone look, wood tones add a layer of depth and texture that solid colors simply can't replicate.
Popular Wood Cabinet Finishes
Here are the most popular wood-tone finishes we offer, each with its own personality and best use cases:
Timber
Timber is the classic choice for homeowners who want unmistakable warmth. With its golden-brown tone and visible wood grain, Timber brings an organic, inviting feel to any kitchen. It pairs beautifully with white or dove countertops and works in both traditional and transitional spaces.
Available in Shaker, Slim Shaker, Thin Shaker, and Fusion profiles.
Desert Oak
Desert Oak features a rift-cut white oak grain with a light, natural finish that's become one of the most sought-after looks in modern kitchen design. Its Scandinavian-inspired warmth makes it ideal for contemporary and minimalist kitchens where you want texture without heaviness.
Available in Shaker and Slim Shaker profiles.
Truffle
Our newest addition. Truffle is a rich, nut-brown woodgrain that sits between Timber and Mocha on the color spectrum. It's warm without being too light, and deep without being too dark — making it one of the most versatile wood finishes in our collection. Truffle works equally well as a full kitchen or as an accent island paired with lighter perimeter cabinets.
Available in Shaker and Slim Shaker profiles.
Kona
The darkest wood finish in our lineup. Kona's rich espresso tone makes a bold statement, especially in larger kitchens with plenty of natural light. It's a favorite for homeowners who want the warmth of wood grain with the drama of a dark cabinet.
Available in Slim Shaker and Fusion profiles.
Natural Oak Coming Soon
Natural Oak delivers an authentic, unfinished look with a light, honey-toned grain that celebrates the raw beauty of real wood. It's the perfect choice for kitchens going for a warm, organic aesthetic with minimal processing. Stay tuned — this finish is arriving soon.
Mocha
Mocha delivers a deep, coffee-brown finish with visible wood grain. It's darker and more dramatic than Timber, making it a strong choice for kitchens that want to feel grounded and luxurious. Mocha pairs well with brass or gold hardware and light stone countertops for a high-contrast look.
Available in Shaker and Thin Shaker profiles.
Cobblestone
Cobblestone offers a distinctive gray-brown tone reminiscent of weathered stone. It's the most unique wood finish in our collection — not quite gray, not quite brown — and brings a sense of character to transitional kitchens that want something different.
Available in Shaker profile.
Horizon
Horizon brings a cool, blue-gray tone that evokes coastal calm. It's a unique choice for homeowners who want something beyond traditional warm wood tones — pairing the natural texture of wood grain with a refreshing, modern color. Horizon works beautifully in kitchens inspired by coastal or contemporary design.
Available in Shaker profile.
