Just to clarify, you have presented 3 versions. I believe the consensus is the original version with the wood grain ( linen grain) cabinetry works the best and is most updated. The only thing that is out of place are the cabinets or "shelves" on both sides of the range hood. If this is what you need to find a solution too. I would suggest only experimenting with rendering options for these two cabinets( or shelves). This cabinet ties in all the other hard surfaces. The white is not working. It just adds another element. The black is a little dated.

It's a gorgeous carving .... 100 years in your family ...that has to be hard to sell.

Is the whole space for shoes? I like the slanted shelves: https://www.houzz.com/products/shoe-storage-prbr0lbl-pl~l_39750 A tension rod mounted inside the space w/ a piece of weighted fabric would be an economical enclosure. Look at decorator fabrics at Joann.com for some inspiration.

Hi shelf with wooden finish (thick border as in pic) would look classy go for light or dark hue depending on backdrop thanks Swati
