Enjoy spending time in your kitchen again with a simple refresh using Porta timber lining boards. This kitchen DIY project is easy peasy when you use the right combination of Porta mouldings, Porta dressed timber, and other sustainable timbers to create a new look and feel.

There truly is a lining board to suit every home. When choosing the right combination of Australian timber for your kitchen DIY project, keep the following in mind:

  • Identify the most dysfunctional parts of the kitchen.
  • Add a design element to improve functionality and modernise the space.

Why use sustainable timber in the kitchen

Thanks to the popularity of food and cooking websites, Australians are spending more time in their kitchens these days. Hanging out in your kitchen more can bring about the realisation that it needs updating.

When pondering a kitchen DIY project, timber may not be the first thing that comes to mind, but Porta timber lining boards are an excellent choice for enhancing any space. Just ask Melbourne couple Britt and Locky — they used Porta contours to create a perfect 'beach bar' look at their kitchen island bench. They completely transformed the look and feel of their kitchen with this small  project.

You can use Porta timber lining boards to clad cabinetry and doors or create concealed doorways. Upgrading your kitchen is simple — Porta Contours are designed for easy installation with their tongue and groove connection. Pair them with some matching corner beads to finish it off.

Bring the outdoors in

Sustainable timber is a natural material that brings a sense of warmth and depth into your home. It looks nice and benefits your overall health and well-being. Kitchens may not seem like the right place in your home to incorporate natural elements, but bringing nature indoors fits perfectly into this space with a little creativity. Adding warmth, texture, and movement to any space in your kitchen helps freshen its design without the need for a full remodel.
