Top 4 country style kitchens recommended by Used Kitchen Hub
Country style kitchens are characterised by the use of natural materials and textures, versatile colours and family-oriented functionality that can be easily customised to suit your needs.
Whether you’re drawn to a traditional country aesthetic or one with more of a modern twist, these 4 kitchen styles can be adapted as much or as little as you need depending on your personal preferences.
Modern Rustic
Modern rustic kitchens work well in both country and urban spaces, looking to combine the classic country feel with a modern touch. Key features usually include reclaimed materials like wood, stone and metals to give the space a lived-in feel. Neutral, warm-toned colour palettes paired with brushed metal or matte finishes can help bring in those rustic elements. To complete the look, mix in bespoke and modern cabinets with open wood shelving and antique accessories. The combination of old and new will create a stylish and comfortable kitchen that feels fresh and familiar.
Traditional Farmhouse
Typically considered the most iconic of the country styles, the Farmhouse style embodies what country kitchens are supposed to be. Often featuring a large porcelain sink backed by white subway tiles and vintage accents, a Farmhouse style kitchen creates a warm and homely environment. Classic colours like whites, creams and pale blues are commonly used, alongside painted wooden cabinets. A large central island, made from solid wood, acts as the heart of a Farmhouse kitchen, providing both functionality and a focal point.
French Country
For a more elegant and refined approach, the French country style kitchen is a stunning option, often incorporating upholstered furniture, antique wooden tables and subtle wrought-iron light fixtures, cabinet handles and pot racks. Soft curves, carved wooden details and intricate finishes create a romantic atmosphere, whilst colours such as soft creams and warm taupes make it the perfect kitchen for those who appreciate the refined, vintage aesthetic.
Cottagecore
Cottagecore is a more playful take on the country style kitchen, incorporating pastel colours and floral patterns to create a whimsical feel. Elements like exposed wooden beams, display vintage accessories on open shelves, repurposed wood features and traditional appliances help bring the theme together – the traditional and iconic AGA stove is the perfect staple appliance to solidify the Cottagecore homely vibe.
Choosing the right country style design for your kitchen ultimately depends on your personal taste and the overall look you want to achieve. Whether you prefer a modern take or pastel colour pallet, each style offers its own unique appeal.
