Real walnut grain from our door samples. Try it as a slab, slim shaker, fluted, mitered and more.
Solid walnut
Rich colour and flowing grain
Walnut brings a warmth and depth no other wood quite matches: chocolate browns with flowing grain, perfect for a statement island or a full walnut kitchen in a modern home. It’s a premium hardwood, a little softer than oak or maple, chosen for its furniture-like look.
A walnut island against light perimeter cabinets is one of the most striking combinations we build.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions?
How much do walnut kitchen cabinets cost?
Walnut is one of our most premium solid woods. Your price depends on the size of the kitchen, the layout and your finishes. Try the kitchen cost estimator for a ballpark, and you get a fixed quote after a free consultation.
Is walnut durable enough for a kitchen?
Yes, with care. It’s a little softer than oak or maple, so it can dent from a hard knock, but a quality finish protects it well.
Full walnut kitchen or just an island?
Both work. A walnut island with light cabinets keeps the room bright; a full walnut kitchen suits larger, well-lit spaces.
Will walnut change colour?
It naturally mellows and can lighten slightly with sunlight over the years, which many owners enjoy.
What counters go with walnut?
Light quartz or a soft white with subtle veining balances walnut’s depth.
