Modern kitchen renovation, by Rob

Transform your kitchen with Rob's rustic renovation project

Dreaming of a kitchen renovation that exudes warmth and character? Get inspired by Rob’s project, who transformed his kitchen with the beauty of rustic stone strips and natural oak elements. In this blog post, you’ll discover how you can create a whole new look in your own kitchen with a few clever adjustments.

A kitchen with character

Rob's kitchen reflects a rustic charm that perfectly suits the modern lifestyle. At the heart of this successful DIY project is a custom-made kitchen island with a beautiful 27mm thick oak top. The oak planks, cut to size by TOSIZE.pt, give the island a robust and natural look. The island not only forms a central meeting point in the room, but also offers extra storage space with built-in wine crates.

Authentic and stylish: stone strips

The kitchen back wall is covered with authentic stone strips that provide a special texture and warmth to the space. This unique aspect of the renovation adds a historical dimension that contrasts nicely with the more modern kitchen components. A few floating oak shelves serve as stylish and practical storage space, which complements the rustic look of the stone strips.

The perfect marriage between old and new

Rob has found a balance between old and new by combining traditional materials with modern amenities. The black kitchen worktop and cabinets provide a clean backdrop for the oak and red brick wall, which resonates with the urban reappraisal of industrial spaces. This project proves that a kitchen renovation can be not only functional, but also a work of art.

DIY inspiration for every home

By choosing a DIY approach, Rob was able to determine the dimensions and select the materials himself. This not only provides a personal touch but also a cost-saving solution. Moreover, making it yourself gives a sense of satisfaction and ensures that the end result fits seamlessly with the rest of the interior design.

Benefits of oak wood

The Oak Carpentry Panel A/B 27mm that Rob used has a timeless beauty and durability that will last for years. Oak is known for its strength and resistance to wear, making it an ideal choice for kitchen surfaces that are used daily. The natural wood grains provide a vibrant look that can brighten up any kitchen.
