Functional plywood kitchens and furniture for thoughtful interiors

Reduce Visual Noise

Open shelves often fill up with dishes, jars, and décor. But every item on display adds its own color. Without planning, this creates visual noise — the space starts to feel heavy and cluttered. Glass cabinet doors can have the same effect. When the items behind them are too bright or mismatched, the colorful patches start to shout.

To keep the space calm and balanced, consider: placing neutral-toned dishes behind glass, storing dry goods in matching or clear jars, replacing clear glass with frosted or textured panels that soften what’s inside.

If you’re not planning to curate the color palette of open items, it’s worth reducing the number of open shelves. For glass-door cabinets, a quieter alternative — or closed fronts — might work better.

Bright Enough — Never Blinding
Hidden under the trim, the light stays soft — focused where it’s needed, never in your eyes.

LED lights under the upper cabinets are hidden behind trim. They don’t glare — whether you're standing at the counter or sitting across the room. Just soft, directed light.

Between the stove and the sink, two LED strips provide even illumination. You can turn them on separately. When more light is needed, the second strip adds just enough. No shadows. No dark spots.

Top drawers — the most valuable space

The top drawers of lower cabinets are the most convenient area in the entire kitchen. Everything is at waist level, easy to see, easy to reach — no bending or stretching.

This space is especially sensitive to clutter. Every inch should be used for what you truly need every day.

It’s a shame when such valuable space gets filled with things used once a month — even if they’re small and seem harmless. Over time, they add up and push out the essentials.

That’s why planning is key. From the very beginning, decide what you use regularly: spices, tea, coffee, sugar, cutlery — all the things your hand reaches for automatically. These belong here, in the front row.

It’s best to choose all of that in advance. Then we can design drawers and organizers specifically for your items — precise, functional, and long-lasting.

It also helps if your containers are from reliable brands — like IKEA. This gives confidence that even in a year or two, you’ll be able to replace a broken jar or buy another one — and your system will stay just as organized as on day one.

Built-in Bread Box with Cutting Board Lid

Unlike a regular bread box that sits on a shelf or countertop, this one is built into the top kitchen drawer — at waist level, where your hands naturally work. Everything is in one place and opens in a single motion.
The lid is also the cutting board. You remove it — and use it right away. No extra steps.
Crumbs collect in the carved grooves of the board — they don’t scatter on the counter.
After slicing, simply brush them into the built-in catcher inside the drawer. From there, they fall into a removable collection tray.
Inside the tray is a grid. The bread rests on it, staying above the crumbs.
When enough crumbs have accumulated, you just lift out the tray and clean it. Just like in a regular kitchen toaster.
The bread box doesn’t take up space on display and doesn’t create visual noise.
The kitchen stays clean and calm.

Simple. Logical. To the point.
Functional storage next to the stove

The client told us they mostly cook by frying. Pots are used less often. We listened.
A separate pull-out drawer is dedicated to frying pans.
An oil bottle organizer is placed right next to them.
The drawer is installed on the convenient side of the stove.

Everything needed — close at hand. No clutter. Just what’s useful.
