To get the homey, private feel of a rustic country kitchen, you don’t have to live in a log cabin in the woods. The right design cues can add a sense of intimate folksiness to the heart of the city, enveloping your urban kitchen in the warmth of country style.
When it comes to rustic country kitchen style concepts, natural materials, weathered accents, and eclectic finishes and decorations are the order of the day. Don’t be afraid to take risks! Make a dramatic feature the focal point of your one-of-a-kind kitchen. It’s all about sharing your personality when it comes to designing a rustic kitchen. Incorporating rustic design elements into your kitchen also necessitates the use of unusual surfaces. Check the quality and food protection of exotic materials (from weathered wood cabinets to copper countertops). Remember that a beautiful country kitchen is often functional and comfortable.
As you’ll see in the examples below, going rustic doesn’t have to mean sacrificing the elegance and functionality of high-quality products. Top-of-the-line counters, cabinets, and appliances will effortlessly blend into a rustic design scheme, adding cutting-edge functionality to your timeless aesthetic sense.
With rustic natural accents, all-white is perfect.
An all-white kitchen may appear sterile, but this rustic kitchen does not. There are enough whites and pastels, and neutrals in this room to make it feel warm and inviting. The pot rack above the rustic prep table is ideal for drying flowers and herbs, while the glass-fronted wall cabinets display pastel dinnerware in soft blue and cream tones.
Demonstrate the Strength of Extensive Woodwork
The old brick on the walls and floors of this kitchen creates the feel of a welcoming bar. The deep apron sink is ideal for filling stockpots, and the copper pots and pans, some of which have been repurposed as planters, contrast beautifully with the bricks, sleek black countertop, and dark woods of the shelving, ceiling, and floor cabinets.
Classic Clapboard is enhanced by weathered wood.
With its bright white and weathered wood-paneled wall cabinets with plain knobs, this kitchen seamlessly blends old and new. An induction cooktop, antique cutting boards, and a jug of wooden cooking equipment are hidden underneath them. A beadboard wall echoes the paneling, and a simple grey curtain hides the room underneath the white apron sink.
The Strength of Classic Cabinetry is Highlighted by Hefty Shelving
This kitchen is dominated by rough woodwork. Stacks of dinner plates, glass and metal canisters, and a microwave can all be stored on the open shelves above the sink. The cup pulls and hinges on the counter, and floor cabinets are appealingly worn. Don’t be afraid to incorporate artwork. An image of a ship hangs near the shelves, while a framed painting on the opposite wall depicts an ancestor frowning.
Premium Fittings are combined with smart detailing and beautiful plants.
This beautiful kitchen is a study in black and white, with sharp lines and surprising curves. The black countertop is large enough for a selection of plants and artwork, and the cantilevered apron sink can accommodate deep pots that can be quickly filled and cleaned. Pendant lights with alabaster shades above the ceiling have a soft glow that complements the light coming in through the mullioned windows.
This all-American country kitchen is finished off with gingham curtains.
Many people associate gingham with “country,” and these simple red and white curtains add a splash of color to a kitchen with a more subdued color scheme. Wreaths of herbs tied with red and white striped bows in the window, as well as golden knobs and cup, pulls, contribute to the room’s festiveness.
A Chalkboard Adds a Special Touch to a Rustic Cabin Kitchen
In this farm kitchen, a chalkboard makes making shopping and to-do lists easy. A homeowner does not even need to purchase a chalkboard that is long enough to hang on the wall. All they need is a panel to paint with latex chalkboard paint, and they’re done! A chalkboard, to be precise. It complements the rough-hewn stone countertops, similarly rough-hewn floor cabinets, and a simple black metal chandelier beautifully.
Multiple Materials are blended in a Smart Design
Signs from long-closed country stores are remarkably fitting for a kitchen. The sign takes up most of the room around the apron sink and counter. The oversized letters’ black echoes the black of the hanging light shade, the deep grey of the countertop, and even the stand mixer’s black. The wood wall panels echo the style of the subway tile backsplash.
Warmth is added to a white kitchen with wood counters.
This kitchen is welcoming thanks to the blue-gray wall above the entrance, the multicolored rag rug, and family pictures. The multi-paned window in the door and the window above the sink let in plenty of natural light. The wall cabinets have no doors, allowing the best dinner service in the house to be seen and enjoyed.
An Ordinary Kitchen becomes Extraordinary with the Use of Great Colors.
This kitchen’s pale lime green floor cabinets and interiors of the wall cabinets make it immediately noticeable. It’s made even more beautiful by the glassware and drinkware inside. A white beadboard wall, an old-fashioned rubbed metal faucet and a copper apron sink that matches the chandelier above it complete the look.
The combination of a tin ceiling and heavy wood creates a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. Tin ceilings were common in the Victorian and Edwardian periods because they were delicately beautiful and inexpensive. The wedding cake of a tin ceiling in this kitchen is paired with dark, rough, heavy wood in the kitchen table and the matching ceiling block from which hang lights with mason jar shades.
Weathered Wood Makes a High-Ceilinged Rustic Country Kitchen Design More Airy
Weathered wood can be purposefully created or repurposed from old factories, warehouses, barns, and railroads. The rafters that appear to be made of pickled logs keep the kitchen’s sky-high ceiling from being too lofty. The cabinets, the kitchen island and its stools, the door and window frames, and even the lamp bases all have a weathered appearance.
Kitchen Island in Rustic Style
An island is a great addition to any kitchen. The island can be used to wash or cut ingredients for meals. It can also be used as a place to eat. The dark brown color of the island coordinates with the cabinets, flooring, and ceiling trim. Above the island, modern lighting pendants establish a modern, rustic industrial atmosphere.
Guide to Purchasing
Kitchen cabinets are an excellent way to make a bold statement while still providing the versatility you need to keep your kitchen clean and organized. It can be difficult to choose kitchen cabinets from the many different colors, models, and designs available. Patete Kitchen & Bath Design has put together the ultimate cabinet buying guide to assist you in making the right decision for your kitchen!
Decorating Your Area
Your choice of custom kitchen cabinets will help to tie your whole design together. Working with a specialist interior design firm, such as Patete Kitchen & Bath Galleria, will provide you with custom kitchen cabinets, expertly designed kitchen designs, and access to the most up-to-date items and fixtures for your project. To ensure that we can fulfill your expectations, we can collaborate with you to decide the style you want to achieve and your project budget.
When it comes to kitchen design, the first step is to figure out what kind of look you like. Are you going for a cleaner, more streamlined look with neutral colors and clean lines? A room with vibrant colors and fun accents? Do you want to go for a more rustic look? Once you’ve decided on the style you want to achieve, you can start looking for fixtures, countertops, appliances, and kitchen cabinets that match that style. We’ll focus on the layout of the kitchen and where you’d like your cabinets to be hung once you’ve decided on a look.
Selecting a Style
When it comes to modern kitchen cabinets, there are a range of designs and features to choose from, ranging from simple to elaborate. You must choose between the following options when designing your new cabinets:
Construction with Frames or Without Frames?
There is a 12-inch frame at the front of the cabinet box for framed cabinets. This adds dimension while also providing a place for the hinges to attach. Since the face frame is removed, frameless cabinets have a European-inspired, contemporary design and allow for greater usability.
Cabinet Features You Must Have
Beyond the traditional swing-open cabinets, there are a number of choices. Base cabinets with solutions for hiding appliances and garbage cans are available. Cabinets with spice racks and pull-outs, as well as drawers for storage, are also available. You can design the exact kitchen cabinets you want for your dream kitchen if you have the budget for custom cabinetry design.
In Cabinet Materials
You can choose from a variety of natural wood materials such as oak, maple, alder, and cherry when you order custom hardwood cabinets from Tedd Wood Fine Cabinetry. If you shop for kitchen cabinets at a regular store, you’ll notice that they have options other than hardwood. Each of these options has its own set of benefits and drawbacks.
Board Of Particle
Particleboard cabinets can be an enticing choice due to their low cost. It’s made by gluing together pressed wood and then covering it with a veneer. This form of cabinetry is susceptible to moisture and has limited longevity. With all of the wear and tear that your kitchen sees, particleboard cabinetry isn’t the best option if you’re looking for a long-lasting solution.
Plywood
Plywood is a more versatile alternative to particleboard when it comes to cabinetry. Multiple layers of wood are laminated together to create this material, which is then finished with birch or maple veneer. Plywood cabinets, on the other hand, can withstand moisture and heavy use, although they are more expensive than particle board cabinets.
Cabinets Made Of Medium-Density Fiberboard (pdf) In The Kitchen
MDF is an engineered wood made up of thin panels made up of wood fiber, wax, and resin. MDF is extremely durable, often surpassing plywood cabinetry in terms of durability, and can work almost as well as a solid wood in many applications. MDF has a smooth finish, making it an excellent choice for painting.
Cabinetry Made Of Hardwood
When it comes to grain patterns and finishes, hardwood offers a wide variety of possibilities. When you select hardwood for your cabinetry, you can truly customize it with a variety of finish choices ranging from paint to stain.
Color Selection
By selecting a beautiful finish and paint for your new kitchen cabinets, you will make a significant impact on the look of your kitchen. Sleek cabinet switches, rich tones, or a combination of light and dark are current kitchen cabinet design trends. If you want to add comfort, charm, and a more rustic appeal to your kitchen, woodgrain finishes are still a common option.
Hardware for Cabinets Selection
There are several choices available, ranging from handles and knobs to hinges and other hardware. Hardware is an important part of your cabinet design, and cabinet knobs and handles come in a variety of designs. Although the number of knobs and handles available can seem to be infinite, our team of professional designers will assess your overall kitchen design and help you narrow down your hardware options to find the perfect look for your new kitchen.
Cabinet Installation in Your Kitchen
Kitchen cabinet construction is a job best left to the pros unless you’ve done it before or have a talent for handy work. Although it is possible to save money by installing the cabinets yourself, it is rarely the best option. Proper installation is essential for your kitchen cabinets to work safely, last for decades, and withstand daily wear and tear. Having professionals build your cabinets has a number of advantages, including:
Less Waste, Less Risk of Error
When you hire a professional to build your kitchen cabinets, you’ll benefit from their knowledge and experience, which will help you save time and money on your kitchen remodeling project.
Installation of A Safe And Secure Kitchen Cabinet
The weight of your kitchen cabinets necessitates a safe installation to prevent them from coming loose from the wall. You risk incorrectly securing the cabinets to the studs and drywall if you aren’t a professional, posing a safety danger.
You Will Have To Clean Up Less Mess
If you’ve ever remodeled a kitchen before, you know that it’s a messy job that leaves debris and other messes to clean up after the renovation and construction are done. When you employ a kitchen contractor to install your cabinets, they will remove them and clean up the remainder of the mess, giving you more time to enjoy your new kitchen.
In The Long Run, Save Money
Although it might seem counterintuitive to hire a professional to install your cabinets, it is one of the best investments you may make when remodeling your kitchen. If you want to build the kitchen cabinets yourself, you may need a range of tools and materials. These tools and resources will add up quickly for a homeowner who will almost certainly never use them again, while a specialist will already have them. A specialist will also provide you with a high-quality installation that will extend the life of your kitchen cabinets and save you money on potential kitchen remodels.
