What is the Country Kitchen style?
The country kitchen style is made up of natural materials which have always been easy to acquire at relatively low cost. Wood is the staple of the country kitchen. It is used for tables, chairs, cabinets, counters, floors, and wainscotting. Whether it is presented in natural finishes or painted in a limited palette of complimenting colors, wood is essential to the country kitchen design style. The use of hutches, plate racks, simple cabinets, and oftentimes freestanding cabinets are all essential elements to the country kitchen. Cabinet doors don't always have to solid. Sometimes, panels of chicken wire or finely woven fabric can be used.
Colors in the country kitchen
In the country kitchen, colors tend to be limited to a complimentary and harmonizing palette. The look is more orderly and simple than a traditional style kitchen. The colors, for the most part, are soothing and inviting. Ceramic tiles are used very sparingly in the country kitchen, mainly around a kitchen sink or as a backsplash behind a stove. These tiles are not ornamental, but rather simple plain white or cream.
Some typical items found in the Country kitchen design may include the following:
- Woven straw seat chairs
- Plain sanded floor with painted borders
- Enamelware, pewter, and simple bowls are on display
- Fine needlework that is framed and hung on the wall
- Shaker storage boxes
- Baskets are used for storage
- Simple plates on display, no patterns or bold colors
- Uncovered windows let abundant light into the kitchen
- Simple complimentary colors are used on walls
- Open shelves that are neatly arranged
- Copper, ceramic, or wood sinks are authentic
- Wildflowers or a fresh bouquet
- Natural light is abundant
- Wire-mesh or chicken wire cabinet doors
- White painted wicker or simple wooden furniture
- Lightly patterned table linens
- Painted furniture
- Skirted sinks
