We’ve seen a lot of fascinating kitchen trends emerge already in 2024, and over the last six months or so we’ve noticed that wood is one material that’s featuring in a growing number of popular trends – or more specifically, fluted and ribbed wood.
For some time now, the top kitchen trends have all been those themed around sleek minimalism. However, in the last few years, we’ve seen things take a turn towards texture, with fluted wood establishing itself as a firm favourite in many people’s dream kitchens, and no one knows that better than we do here at Kitchen Design Centre! In fact, we’ve seen our fair share of fluted cabinets this year in our clients’ kitchens. So if you want to incorporate them into your dream kitchen, here’s what you need to know.
If you’re unfamiliar, fluted wood in kitchen design refers to wood with vertical grooves or ridges carved into it, giving it a textured appearance. This technique adds depth and visual interest to kitchen components like cabinets and panels. In 2024, the fluted pattern is being used to add a subtly sophisticated touch to modern kitchen design, having evolved from time-honoured designs of decades past. Fluted wood is a common motif found in classical architecture and furniture designs, so there’s no question as to whether it stands the test of time!
Fluted wood is a versatile and elegant material that elevates the sophistication of kitchen designs. Personally here at Kitchen Design Centre, our favourite way to incorporate fluted wood into our bespoke kitchen designs is to use it for cabinet doors, creating a visually stunning and texturised look. It can also be used as a focal point on a kitchen island for a bold statement or selectively in a pantry.
So, why are so many people asking for fluted wood in their new kitchen? Well, it has numerous benefits, the most obvious of which is the way it looks; the unique texture and design of fluted wood creates character and style that enhances any kitchen, providing a tactile surface that offers depth and dimension.
Fluted wood designs are a timeless trend that will always remain attractive. Their classic appeal makes them a lasting investment, adapting seamlessly to a wide range of colours and design elements, regardless of your preferred style.
What’s more, the grooves in fluted wood offer an interesting visual element to any space by casting shadows and highlights, adding depth and texture to what is otherwise a flat surface. It’s this effect that gives them their reputation as dynamic focal points within the kitchen!
So if you’re looking for a timeless, elegant kitchen feature that offers visual appeal, fluted wood might be just what you need! Our designers can help you design your dream kitchen and seamlessly incorporate the fluted wood element!

A CONTEMPORARY GRAPHITE KITCHEN WITH HINTS OF WALNUT
Sandra and Dave discovered Kitchen Design Centre while visiting Housing Units in Failsworth. They were immediately impressed by the showroom and its wide range of displays. However, it was designer Paul Harrington who truly stood out.
Sandra and Dave discovered Kitchen Design Centre while visiting Housing Units in Failsworth. They were immediately impressed by the showroom and its wide range of displays. However, it was designer Paul Harrington who truly stood out. His relaxed demeanour and genuine enthusiasm convinced them to work with him, without considering any other kitchen companies.
With a wish list that included an island and a contemporary aesthetic, they gave Paul full creative freedom. They loved a drinks area featured in one of the showroom displays and requested its inclusion, along with lighting beneath the island. Beyond these, they only provided the room measurements, and they were amazed by the design Paul delivered.

AWARD-WINNING KITCHENS FOR AN AWARD-WINNING DEVELOPER
As you may know if you’ve visited any of our showrooms in Manchester, Blackburn, Liverpool or Barrowford, we manage more than 250 kitchen projects each year here at Kitchen Design Centre. Many of these kitchens are for individual customers, but we also specialise in providing exceptional designer kitchens to housebuilders and developers. We have a particularly successful longstanding relationship with Candelisa, a prestigious Yorkshire-based property developer that is (like us) known for the peerless quality of its designs.
The company already has an impressive array of awards on its shelves, and its team have recently managed to secure their latest accolade: the Best High Volume New Housing Development at the prestigious LABC Awards!
In case you need a quick refresher, the LABC Awards are the largest business-to-business awards in the UK’s building control sector, aimed at celebrating and rewarding building projects, and the people behind them. The Best High Volume New Housing Development in question was Candelisa’s project at Countyfields, Embsay. Due to our strong relationship with the company (largely through Simon Thomas, the head of our Barrowford showroom), Kitchen Design Centre was chosen to deliver every kitchen at the Embsay development – and like Candelisa’s team, we’re hugely proud of the results.
