Walls

You must be very creative and careful while decorating your kitchen in country style. Especially if it comes to the walls finishing. There is a certain number of options, which are considered to be more suitable here:

  • Painting. First of all, it is necessary to prepare a perfectly flat surface; otherwise any defect will be clearly visible on the wall. Selecting a color, give preference to warm pastel shades: cream, beige, light brown. Olive and green colors are also acceptable, but they should be close to the natural tone as much as possible. You can also use white and light-gray color as an alternative option.Painted walls country style kitchen design ideas 728x546 - Country-Style Kitchens
  • Decorative plaster. With its help, you can easily create a texture that will make a design simple and old-fashioned as though the surface was decorated not quite skillfully by the owners themselves.
  • Tile. It can be used not only for splashbacks decorating. If you want, you can lay out some semblance of panels in lower part of the wall. For these purposes, both ceramic and sandstone tile are suitable.White kitchen tiles country kitchen ideas 728x485 - Country-Style Kitchens

Look how stylish the country style kitchens are. It is easy to notice that every interior includes the wood usage: lacquered, painted, untreated. Being perfectly suitable for this style, it emphasizes its originality and uniqueness.

 

Floor

This rustic style is, by far and away, one of the best solutions for spacious country houses rather than for urban small apartments. However, if you use all interior elements optionally, you can recreate the country atmosphere even in a very small kitchen.

Wooden boards, natural stone and ceramic tiles - are the materials that can be used to make the floor in a country style kitchen.

If you do not have enough money to purchase the natural wood materials, they can be easily replaced by their cheaper analogues: a parquet board, laminate and even linoleum.

Today it is easy to find those materials, which are superficially similar to natural ones. In particular, "wood-like" linoleum is a very common and popular product.

Give preference to modern covering of high quality and durability. It looks better and will last you long enough.

The acceptable analogue of natural stone is porcelain stoneware. This is a very common product, presented in a wide range and can be found in every building material store.

Lighting

The real village houses could never boast of large bright windows, that is why the natural light deficiency should be supplemented with the artificial light.

Separate lighting devices should be placed above the furniture set (built-in spotlights) and a dining table (a chandelier).

For kitchens, combined with the living room, floor lamps with fabric lampshades are ideal.
