Demi Moore’s unpainted cabinets have sparked an important reflection on design: painted kitchens are not always the best choice. According to Homes & Gardens, the natural look of the actress’s kitchen has transformed the way many people perceive culinary spaces.

Until recently, many believed that painting cabinets was the best way to bring color and personality into the kitchen. The scale and prominence of these pieces made the decision obvious for testing bold colors like butter yellow or pistachio green. However, after seeing Demi Moore’s wooden cabinets, the way people think about picking up the paintbrush has changed forever.
In addition to natural wood, the actress’s cabinets feature minimalist handles and extend up to the ceiling, making use of every inch of vertical space. For many, the raw, unpainted aesthetic is the true charm of this type of design.
The word “timeless” has never been more fitting. Wooden cabinets transcend color trends and remain elegant for decades. Demi Moore was one of the pioneers of this style, with her 2021 post still serving as inspiration in 2025, according to Homes & Gardens.
Nathan Kingsbury, creative director of Nathan Kingsbury Design, explains that “natural wood cabinets offer a timeless appeal that few materials can match. The richness and warmth of the grain bring a nature-inspired element to the kitchen, creating a sense of comfort and authenticity.” He adds that the popularity of wooden kitchens is linked to the connection they foster with nature. With biophilic design gaining momentum, the use of natural materials helps create balanced and tranquil interiors.
In addition to natural beauty, Nathan emphasizes that these cabinets harmonize with different colors and materials, such as vibrant tiles or metallic hardware, allowing each kitchen to have its own personality. “They complement a wide variety of styles and materials, enhancing the charm and allowing individuality,” he concludes, according to Homes & Gardens.
