Examples of Wood Kitchen Door Styles from Ballerina and Caledonia
Choosing the right door style is one of the most exciting parts of planning your new wood kitchen in Caterham. Whether you prefer the engineered precision of Ballerina or the handcrafted heritage of Caledonia, both brands offer exceptional options to suit traditional and modern homes alike. Here are just a few examples you can explore in our Caterham showroom:
Ballerina German Kitchens – Contemporary Wood Finishes
Ballerina is known for combining cutting-edge technology with stunning finishes that showcase the natural character of timber and veneers. Popular options include:
- Natural Walnut Veneer
A warm, rich finish with distinctive grain patterns that look striking on handleless cabinetry. Perfect for contemporary kitchens with a luxury feel.
- Wild Oak Cognac
A textured oak effect door with a slightly rustic note, balanced by Ballerina’s crisp lines and precise edges.
- Dark Oak Graphite
A modern, moody option ideal for sophisticated interiors. The dark tones look beautiful when paired with light stone worktops and integrated lighting.
- Core Ash Light
A pale ash finish with subtle grain, perfect for keeping your kitchen feeling bright and open.
These finishes can be mixed with painted doors or laminates to create contrast and visual interest.
Caledonia British Kitchens – Classic and Bespoke Timber Doors
If you prefer a traditional or transitional style, Caledonia offers exquisite, made-to-order timber kitchens crafted in Britain. Examples include:
- In-Frame Oak Shaker
Solid oak frames with recessed panels for a timeless look that pairs beautifully with natural stone worktops.

This charming door features characteristic knots and clusters, adding texture and interest to a classic kitchen.

Wood Kitchen Styles to Inspire You
Wood finishes remain a firm favourite among homeowners across Caterham, Coulsdon, and Tandridge because they offer warmth, character, and versatility. Here are just a few possibilities you can explore with us:
- Classic Shaker Designs
Ideal for period homes in Caterham-on-the-Hill or Godstone, shaker wood kitchens in painted oak or ash create a timeless look that pairs beautifully with stone worktops.
- Modern Veneer Kitchens
Ballerina’s natural veneer doors bring a sophisticated edge to contemporary interiors. Think smooth grain matched with handleless cabinetry for a sleek, minimalist finish.
- Two-Tone Wood Kitchens
Combining painted cabinets with contrasting timber accents adds depth and interest. For example, a soft cashmere base unit paired with a natural walnut island.
- Rustic and Textured
If you love tactile finishes, explore distressed oak or textured matt lacquers that highlight the natural variations in the wood grain.
Choosing the Right Appliances for a Wood Kitchen
Your kitchen appliances should harmonise with the warmth of wood while providing modern convenience. As an approved Siemens 5 Star iQ Design Studio, we can guide you through appliances perfectly suited to wood kitchens:
- Siemens Studioline Ovens and Warming Drawers
Their clean black glass and brushed metal trims complement oak and walnut cabinetry beautifully.
- Neff Slide&Hide® Ovens
Ideal for open-plan kitchens, these ovens feature disappearing doors to save space and maintain a streamlined look.
- Miele Induction Hobs
Pairing cutting-edge performance with understated elegance, these hobs integrate seamlessly into timber worktops.
- Quooker Flex Tap
Boiling water on demand without disrupting the design. Quooker’s chrome or black finishes look superb against natural wood.
All these appliances can be demonstrated during a showroom visit, so you can see how they’ll look and feel in situ.
