Butcher block and wood counter tops are a beautiful and versatile addition to any kitchen space.  We love the looks of a small section of butcher block in a kitchen for the at-home chef or an entire kitchen with beautiful wood countertops.

Natural wood tones work beautifully with colorful painted cabinetry.  The navy cabinets shown in this kitchen, paired with brass pulls and fixtures, work perfectly with the waterfall edge butcher block.

This adorable kitchen features contrasting black cabinetry and a light wood-topped bar.  The patterned tile and laser cut metal barstools add some charm to the space.

For those who don’t want to care for an entire kitchen of butcher block, a small section is ideal!  This transitional style kitchen with white cabinetry looks beautiful with the built in butcher block .

An interesting twist to consider trying with wood countertops is a herringbone pattern.  The pattern adds a special element to this otherwise simple design.

This is another gorgeous example of textures and contrasts working together!  The rough concrete wall, smooth warm wood and grey-green cabinetry create such a stunning combination of finishes in the space.
