Country Kitchen Design: Enjoy
Rustic Interiors With This Easy Style

Some Features

Just about any traditional cabinets works with this style. Cabinets can range from warm wood tones to white and antique white or other subdued colors.

Arches, detailed woodwork and wainscoting are features of the country kitchen design.

And as for kitchen color schemes, vibrant colors of the outdoors are used, such as greens, deep reds, navy blue, and yellow in varying shades. Use these colors sparingly so as not to overpower the room or make small spaces appear smaller. Often times, you'll see a combination of green and white, blue and yellow, or red and white. Find colors that compliment the rest of your home and that you like.

If you have high ceilings, be sure to use tall wall cabinets to make the best of your storage solutions. As an added touch to cabinets, use glass cabinet doors with grill dividers on a few cabinets to display your country décor.

Cabinet doors with raised arched panels go well with a country kitchen design. Cabinets, both stained and painted, can be combined for a unique look. Adorn your cabinets with crown molding, and your windows and doors with large scaled trim and rosettes.

Use wood wherever possible to compliment your design. For flooring, many hardwood floor finishes look great. If hardwood isn't your first choice, consider using a ceramic tile flooring or porcelain tile flooring with a rustic finish as an alternate.

Other Features of Country Kitchen Design

A beautiful focal point to a country kitchen design is a kitchen hood design made from wood. An added dramatic feature can be achieved with a wood carving in the center. An island range hood can make even more of a statement if your cooktop is in the island.

One of the most common features you'll find in this style is wainscoting with chair rail. Wainscoting can be used as much or as little as you’d like. For a truly homey look, place Wainscoting higher than the standard 32" high, perhaps to just below the height of a doorway. Think about using bead board for the wainscot material with an antique or glazed finish.

Add Finishing Touches

Speaking of your table, using a table with bench seating is one of the things you can do as part of this style. High back chairs with a heavy wooden table are also a look that goes well.

Completing your country kitchen design is in the details and accessories. Using shelving, a kitchen hutch, or built in cabinets that showcase family pictures will add to the welcoming feel of your space.

Use baskets for storage if your storage cabinets are not enough. Hang older looking pots and pans from a pot rack in an ideal location in your layout. Find accessories at an antique shop of flea market that look like they came from colonial times. Display fresh flowers and greenery in the way of live plants.

Your endeavor to design your own room will prove to be a great and rewarding experience. Creating a room with this warm rustic style is about planning a comfortable place for you, your family, and friends to enjoy in a cheerful setting.

If you really want a job that is well done but are just not sure if you know how to design your new space in this style, then consider having a kitchen or interior designer give you a hand with your project.
