How to create a country kitchen

The country kitchen is a timeless classic, that gives the hub of your home a warm, rural feel, full of character. A comforting place to come home to after the fast pace of modern life, whether you live in a rural or urban area.

To create a country style kitchen, you need the perfect ingredients of style, colour, materials, and finishing touches. The cosy look of a country kitchen with a modern rustic charm is fundamental to bringing this timeless classic into the present day.

Inspiring Kitchen Colours

To create the feeling of warmth and homeliness that is key to a traditional kitchen, you’ll need to think carefully about your colour choices. Classic cream gives a welcoming feeling that is much warmer than a modern white. Soft, muted colours such a grey and mink also work well, in creating a homely feel. Don’t be scared of introducing colour into your kitchen, pale garden green works really well with cream and wood for instance.

Natural materials

Try to avoid colours such as stark black, pristine white, or bright red, as these are typically more fitting in a modern kitchen. To achieve a real country kitchen style, you’ll want to think about the colours you see in nature and bring them indoors.

Wood Worktops and Flooring

Wood works really well in creating a classic country kitchen, it radiates a feeling of warmth and comfort through a room. If you are considering wooden worktops, there are many different styles to choose from, such as Oak, Maple, Beech, Walnut, Bamboo and more. The unique grain in wood brings character to a kitchen and can complement many different areas of your space.

Wood is also a great option for flooring, that brings warmth and homeliness. You may want to think about Vinyl flooring designed to look like real wood. This is an inexpensive option, that is robust and waterproof! There is also a huge range of styles and shades to choose from.

Stone Flooring

Beautiful stone flooring gives a kitchen a raw aesthetic, that is hardwearing. It evokes the feeling of bringing the outside in, giving a rustic finish. You may want to think about using Palio Looselay or Clic tiles, that give a stone effect but are easy to lay and relatively inexpensive.
