In big cities, where we are so tired of the hustle and bustle, we especially want warmth and home comfort. Country-style kitchen design allows you to bring a rustic touch to the house, create an atmosphere of lightness, simplicity, bring peace back and help you relax.
Village style is moral freedom, the absence of artificial restrictions and frameworks in which we are forced to spend most of the day. These are natural materials, always a little rough to the touch and so pleasant! These are simple forms, naive decor, and the opportunity to feel free from secular conventions.
The interior of a country-style kitchen is the choice of those who want to relax, have a rest from the city bustle, have a good time over a cup of tea, comfortably sitting on a wide bench and looking out the window on which calico print curtains are rinsed.
This style does not like anything bright, fanciful, brilliant. Chrome surfaces and MDF gloss are not suitable here. Depending on the direction, the finishes can be both dark and light, because the village houses inside are also different. An imitation of a wooden log house will bring it to the Russian village, and the plaster of light pastel colors will bring it to the French Provence, which has given birth to its own “village” style.
In the design of the kitchen in the style of the country are usually used natural shades: land, bark, sand, leaves, grass, wheat fields, stones, sky and clouds.
There are no restrictions on the arrangement of furniture. It will look equally good both lined up with two rows of cabinets above and below the work surface, and “scattered” around the kitchen in separate zones.
In the latter case, you can distribute the situation in this way: put a dining table in the center of the room, equip a working area near one of the walls, and place for storing supplies and utensils near the other wall.
Another option is to move the dining group to the window, and in the center to equip the island with appliances, possibly combined with a worktop for work or snacking. Such a “free” arrangement and distribution of furnishings throughout the room creates an atmosphere of relaxation and peace, which is typical of the kitchen interior in the style of country music.
The basis of style - finishing materials. They should be only natural, in extreme cases - to imitate natural ones. Ordinary ceramic tiles are not very suitable, it is better to use stone or tile “under the stone”.
For finishing of floors usually choose a tree - boards, or a parquet board.
But you can put and laminate, or porcelain tiles. Particular attention should be paid to the laying of tiles: it is best if they are of different sizes, and, possibly, forms: they can be laid in a free order, which will reinforce the impression of a village house. If the tiles are the same size, you should lay out the easiest way, avoiding complex patterns.
Kitchen design in country style involves an apron, lined with stone, brick or tile. In the latter case, you can lay out a complex pattern of tiles as a decoration, you can also use folk motifs.
Neutral tones wallpapers are suitable for walls, either without a pattern or with a small floral pattern, depending on the chosen style direction. Kitchens with plaster-covered or light-colored walls look very attractive.
Dark wooden beams that “support” the ceiling are also one of the characteristic signs of country style.
Not quite smooth walls should not be an obstacle to the design of the kitchen in the style of country music, just the opposite: some irregularities, hollows or convexities perfectly fit into the style and give a "zest".
The shape of the furniture should be as simple as possible, even somewhat rough. Massive wooden cabinets and heavy chairs “chopped” forms fit perfectly. A more budget option - the use of MDF "under the tree" in the furniture facades.
In the interior of the kitchen in the style of country music, the main place rightfully belongs to the stove. In modern homes, it is replaced by a slab, whose decorative possibilities are very modest. Therefore, the emphasis is transferred to the hood, which is quite able to take over the function of the main decoration. The dome hood, decorated with a border, having a shelf for placing small objects, will remind someone a fireplace, someone - a Russian stove in a village hut.
Do not forget about lighting. Fixtures are preferred simple, perhaps - wicker or stylized antique. Crystal and silk lampshades for this kitchen are not suitable.
Kitchen design in the style of country involves the use of a large number of small decorative objects that are very useful and relevant at hand. These are baskets of wicker, and a variety of lids, cans, pots of metal, glass and clay.
The themes for the panels are rustic motifs: sunflowers, haystacks, roosters, cows in the meadow.
Motley rug on the floor, better - woven of cloth ribbons, textiles in a cage or striped - all this with pleasure used by designers in the design of the kitchen in country style.
It is better to make curtains on windows simple, from flax, batiste, chintz. Easy assembly on fabric emphasizes style.
Onions and garlic in “braids”, “necklaces” made of hot peppers, sunny pumpkins on the cabinets, bunches of dry fragrant herbs near the plate - all this is not only decorations that are very relevant in a “rustic” style, but also products that are always at hand.
Try hanging on a railing in the immediate vicinity of the plate a couple of bundles of thyme and thyme, and you will notice that they are much more often used in cooking! If space permits, add fresh flowers to the decor, put a vase on the table - you can put in it fruits or vegetables according to the season.
