Did you know that bamboo is not a tree but an evergreen perennial grass? What that means is that it grows fast and can be harvested multiple times without replanting. In fact, bamboo grows 10 or more times faster than most tree species. The specific bamboo species that we use as a material for furniture is called Moso and it grows exceptionally fast. It is ready to harvest after 5 years of growth. Due to its special qualities bamboo is CO2 negative during its lifecycle. The best choice for a modern, sustainable kitchen, isn’t it? That is why a bamboo kitchen may be a very good option if you are planning to create or rearrange one.

Bamboo kitchen design connects tradition and future

Bamboo is a traditional material, that has been used for ages to build houses, household appliances, and furniture. The technologies used during the production of IKEA kitchen systems take these traditional benefits and improve them even more. Thanks to that and many other advantages they can be considered the future of kitchen design.

One of the best improvements in the IKEA Metod bamboo kitchen is the push system. Instead of pulling cabinet doors you just gently push them. This technology makes knobs and handles unnecessary. If you like a more traditional design, or just are more used to that way of opening, you can buy them along with cabinet fronts. Don’t forget that subtle indented decoration is also a finger pull. You can grip it, which will help you to open the door.

The design of handle-less kitchen fronts is also a visual improvement. It discreetly makes a kitchen look more spacious and smooth. Not to mention the safety it provides, especially if there are running children around. No accidental opening of cabinets or running into a protruding handle.

The techniques that make the bamboo material of our kitchen fronts more durable and mold resistant are a very important improvement. It is essential to deliver the best furniture quality, especially in a kitchen environment, where furniture is often exposed to dirt, moisture, and mechanical damage.

Less work and more fun in a bamboo kitchen

The dirt and moisture resistance is one of the most interesting bamboo kitchen features. It assures that the kitchen fronts made of that material will be practically maintenance-free. There is a need to clean them occasionally, but you can do it rarely and with ease. Most importantly it means that you have more time to use your kitchen as intended – for cooking, baking, or making smoothies.

It needs very little effort and attention from the owner to look clean and neat all the time. This feature should be interesting for busy users as well as for cooking lovers.

What kind of interior is a bamboo kitchen best for?

You can always buy yourself bamboo kitchen fronts if you feel like it of course. The advantages of the material definitely encourages to do so, but there are types of interiors that would especially benefit from installing a bamboo kitchen instead of a traditional wooden one.

More and more flats and houses use an open kitchen system. It means that your kitchen cabinets and appliances are visible for guests sitting in the living room area.
