Go retro with a country kitchen. Timeless and rustic, a country kitchen can impart a completely different look to your home. Especially if you want to add the charisma of the good old’ days to your home. Luckily you don’t need a lot to transform your kitchen. Vintage signage, pastel colors, antiques or wooden furniture are enough to get started on this project.
These can establish the farmhouse look without the hefty price tag. Add a traditional range cooker, timber flooring or a farmhouse sink as you go to get the complete look. You can also mix and match different décor elements to suit your personal taste and budget.
The Country Kitchen Aesthetic
What makes a country kitchen radiate with homey familiarity and artisanal charm is often found in the playful combination of textures and elements inspired by the natural world. The key to achieving the look and feel of a country kitchen can be found in the carefully considered mix of materials.
Often, you’ll see features in country style kitchens that behold a significant story, such as a wooden beam that’s been repurposed from a previous build and given new life. The unique texture showcased in design choices like this allows for special moments of conversation between you and your loved ones. After all, a kitchen is more than just a place in which to prepare breakfast — it’s a place for spending time with your loved ones.
Elements of country style kitchen
Traditional Range Cooker
A country kitchen is incomplete without a traditional range cooker. Whether you choose one with a splash of color or earth-toned neutrals, a range cooker can be the focal point of your kitchen. And the fact that you can cook multiple dishes doesn’t hurt either.
Traditional Butler or Apron sink
A quintessential feature of a country kitchen is a traditional butler or apron sink. Beautiful and spacious, it is a distinctive element of a country kitchen. Add a vintage-looking tap to add a funky twist to the space.
Industrial Decor
Exposed beams, concrete countertop or flooring and caged lighting can lend a raw utilitarian look to your kitchen. Use antique wooden or metal pieces, rustic bar stools and copper cookware to create a charming country kitchen. The decorating possibilities are endless and you can use just about anything to create a retro kitchen.
Wooden Cabinets and Shelving
Use reclaimed wooden furniture, timber benchtops and open shelves to pull off a classic country-looking kitchen. Display your crock collection, pots and pans, and mason jars on open shelves to complete a visually appealing country kitchen.
