Oak slat divider frames the kitchen as a room within an open floor pla

About This Design

Organic Modern

We kept every cabinet face completely flat and handleless to let the marble backsplash and oak island carry the visual weight. A floor-to-ceiling oak slat screen replaces a solid wall, connecting the kitchen to the living room while framing the space like a piece of furniture at architectural scale.

Design Tip

Replace a solid partition wall with a vertical oak slat screen to define zones in an open-plan space without blocking light. The rhythm of the slats creates depth and shadow, adding an architectural layer that solid walls cannot provide.

Spatial Approach

We positioned the island perpendicular to the main cabinet run so two guests can sit and observe the cook. The oak slat screen lines up with the island edge, reinforcing the kitchen boundary while keeping sightlines open to the living room beyond.
