Fluted White Oak Island in Bethesda, Maryland

This bright Bethesda, Maryland kitchen is a stunning example of warm minimalism, brought to life through clean-lined custom cabinetry. The island and lower cabinets are whitewashed White Oak, offering a natural warmth and texture that balances beautifully against the crisp upper cabinets. On the island, fluted detailing and a waterfall edge adds a layer of visual interest while reinforcing the home’s cohesive design language. Custom Caesarstone countertops provide a durable yet elegant surface with subtle veining that complements the kitchen’s soft palette. With its mix of open shelving, integrated appliances, and thoughtful finishes, this kitchen is equal parts refined and approachable—tailored for everyday living with enduring style.
