Today, country style kitchen design is becoming increasingly popular. Its main features are simplicity and smoothness of features, a certain reference to antiquity. To decorate such an interior, exclusively natural materials are used.
When decorating a kitchen in a rustic style, remember that any culture has certain stylistic characteristics and features that must be taken into account when creating the interior: American ranches, French Provence or Swiss chalets.
Let's take a closer look at a few photos of a rustic kitchen and outline the basic rules for its design.
In the Russian version, the country kitchen is primarily a Russian stove, a bleached ceiling, chintz curtains and roughly finished benches and floors.
Modern appliances will not fit into such an interior, so you should choose only the most necessary ones, abandoning the huge number of them in the kitchen.
Cozy and atmospheric
Beautiful country cuisine is a unique atmosphere of warmth and comfort. Slight carelessness of decoration, simple, even somewhat primitive furniture, an abundance of textiles and handmade decorative elements are integral attributes of this style.
No gilding, bright colors or complex designs. Everything should be as simple as possible: calm pastel colors, natural materials, soft lighting, items from grandma’s chest. Your task is to recreate the image of a rural house.

Ceiling beams will look harmonious in the interior of a country house. Such elements not only perform a decorative function, but also provide the basis for hanging shelves or a lighting system. The ceiling plane is also finished using boards, logs or plywood.
The fireplace is of particular importance in country style. It can be miniature, large, or in the form of a stove. The fireplace brings the whole family together for an evening dinner and adds a special homeliness and coziness to the atmosphere.

Country is perfect for the design of a veranda or a country house. The interior of a summer kitchen can be complemented with wooden window shutters, bare stone, brick walls, false beams or rough furniture made of wear-resistant wood. A durable street lamp with a metal lampshade and a forged grille will fit perfectly into the rustic surroundings.

Deliberate negligence
Rustic kitchen designs don't require fussiness. It is enough to paint the walls with paint in pastel shades - they should not be flashy. You can also use wallpaper with an old-fashioned pattern or make an imitation of brickwork.
When choosing a material for finishing the floor, give preference to natural wood or choose a laminate with a similar structure.
You can also use stone-like tiles with a non-uniform, rough surface. If the height of the ceilings allows, they can be decorated with wooden beams - this is a very effective decorative element.
And if you strive for maximum authenticity and are the happy owner of a private home, then rustic kitchens with stoves will definitely appeal to you.
But just don’t try to build a working stove yourself; it’s better to call a specialist, since the correct design and construction of such kitchen equipment requires many years of experience.
Wall decoration
The design of a rustic kitchen is sometimes characterized by a certain roughness and carelessness of finishing work, which is why you can design it yourself.
Wall decor should be done exclusively with natural materials.
You can use tiles to create an apron or area near the washbasin, the print of which should be stone or wood imitation.
Wallpaper is an equally popular finishing method. An indispensable condition is a drawing with a rustic character, depicting scenes of rural life or natural landscapes.
Choosing a headset
Kitchen furniture should be of good quality, as simple as possible, even rough. No plastic, chrome or glass!
The facades of the furniture, tables and chairs should have wooden surfaces. You can use forged elements - they give the interior of a rustic kitchen a special flavor.
But, of course, there is no need to purchase a massive solid wood dining table if the room is small. When there is little space, you should limit yourself to a small table and compact stools.
Furniture
The main requirement for furniture is that it should have a simple shape and a slightly shabby appearance. Items made of plastic will have to be abandoned. The following requirements apply to furniture:
- The color is chosen depending on the size of the room and the rest of the design. A kitchen set with a dark bottom and a light top will fit into any environment.

- The material of the kitchen set is wood; in a budget option - MDF or chipboard covered with veneer. Decorations include glass inserts, carvings, stylish fittings, and paneled facades.

Color solution
When decorating a kitchen in a rustic style, pay special attention to the selection of colors. Give preference to natural, natural shades. A good choice would be beige, brown, white, calm tones of green, yellow and blue.
But be careful with fiery red or bright yellow - they can be used in minimal quantities, only as a color accent.
Repair and finishing
The ideal complement to rustic country style would be a stone floor. In a city apartment, laying matte tiles, laminate or wooden parquet in a calm palette would be appropriate.
For wall decoration, they most often prefer striped wallpaper, canvases with small floral patterns and checkered prints, or textured plaster. The surface can also be lined with stone or moisture-resistant tiles.
A traditional solution for a country-style kitchen is a ceiling with beams. Whitewashing or painting is also used as finishing. It is good if the surface has some roughness and imperfections.
The kitchen apron is usually laid out using brick or stone. For a more budget-friendly option, choose ceramics that will imitate wood. The working area is tiled with boar tiles, terracotta, dark beige, brown or blue mosaics.

Country style doors are painted in a light color and specially aged. Sometimes the canvases are decorated with glass inserts. In a room with neutral wall decoration, door structures can be made of dark natural wood.
White wooden window frames or French windows will look harmonious in the kitchen interior.
More light
Lighting in the kitchen should not be dim, but try to choose chandeliers and lamps that match the style.
You can find something suitable in modern stores, or visit an antique shop - there you will certainly find an interesting option.
And if your grandmother’s old lampshade or an ancient kerosene lamp is gathering dust in the attic, you can restore them and use them in the design of your kitchen. In any case, the effect will be amazing.
Decor and lighting
To create accents and more expressively emphasize the internal content of the country style, a variety of accessories are used in the form of bronze candlesticks, wooden plates and spoons, porcelain cups, simple flowerpots and patchwork napkins that perfectly blend into the surrounding space.
Old grandmother’s decor will harmoniously fit into the kitchen interior; for example, the decor can be supplemented with figurines and figurines of animals or a wooden chest in which it is convenient to store flour, sugar and other cereals.
For a rural style, fresh flower bouquets or dried plants arranged in enamel jugs or glass bottles are perfect.

A country style kitchen looks more advantageous with soft yellowish lighting. Forged candlesticks or lamps with white lace lampshades or stained glass shades are suitable as chandeliers. The walls can be decorated with decorative sconces and antique gas lanterns.

Textile
One of the distinctive features of country style is the abundance of textiles. Linen, chintz and cotton are favorites in this matter.
Windows must be decorated with curtains, since newfangled blinds will not fit into such an interior. A tablecloth made of rough, unbleached linen is a stylish decorative element, and the ensemble will be complemented by hand-embroidered towels and napkins.
When decorating a DIY rustic kitchen, try to use traditional motifs to get as close to the farmhouse look as possible.
Woven rugs, furniture covers made of high-quality burlap - all this will help you create your own unique style.
Style features
Owners, choosing a rustic style to decorate their kitchen, strive to create a sincere and comfortable environment. This must be done without compromising the functionality of modern housing, so when working on a project it is advisable to remember the constant features of the style:
- The predominance of natural materials in finishing (mainly wood), furniture, and decor.

- The desired atmosphere is created by simple-shaped objects with a certain touch of antiquity: shabby, slightly worn, with a rough texture.

- The interior is replete with textiles: towels, napkins, pillows. It’s good if there are handmade products: an embroidered tablecloth, a hand-knitted cape.
- The kitchen will be decorated with original details. In a Russian interior it could be a samovar, a Zhostovo tray, a Gzhel, wooden toys; There was a request for Soviet-era services. Thanks to this decor, even standard Ikea furniture will look colorful.

The interior of a kitchen in a village does not look boring thanks to the combination of different textures, plant and floral motifs in textiles. For each direction, the desired atmosphere is created using a color palette and textures.

In a modern kitchen it is difficult to do without props and artificial materials, but we must strive to minimize them. A rustic interior is always simple, casual, even slightly careless, so the plastic and chrome surfaces of everyday life here will look alien.

Lockers with a secret
Very often, people who want to recreate the atmosphere of an old house in their kitchen have a logical question - what to do with household appliances?
Well, really, don’t give up on it just because its modern look doesn’t fit into the rustic style! Of course, there is a way out.
To ensure that the blender or multicooker does not disturb the overall picture, when decorating the kitchen, you should take care of hidden niches and cabinets for these items. Out of sight, as they say.
Small kitchen design
It is better to decorate a small kitchen in a Khrushchev-era building with a corner or U-shaped set. Instead of a dining table, you can equip a folding table or a window sill integrated into the tabletop.

For the ceiling, painting or whitewashing would be more appropriate. The wall decoration should include warm beige, olive, cream or pine shades.
Cups, spoons, ladles
An important point is the choice of dishes. Clay plates and cups, copper frying pans, wicker bread bins and wooden mortars for spices are perfect for country cuisine.
A manual coffee grinder and a slightly smoked Turk will be excellent decorative elements.
Grandmother's old set also has a place here, because your goal is to emphasize the charm of a bygone era and connect the past with the present.
Style directions and their features in kitchen space design
The concept of “rustic style” implies many different variations. The interior is designed taking into account the typical design solutions for houses in different countries. Several main directions can be identified.
- Scandinavian chalet. The decoration actively uses strict geometric lines, a combination of wood with natural stone or materials that successfully imitate it. The rooms are equipped with simple massive furniture and a fireplace, and decorated with hand-made textile elements.
- A house in the Russian outback. Bright colorful details are used in the interior (tiles for lining a stove or fireplace, carvings on wooden structures), textiles are chosen in a characteristic color palette, and the emphasis in its design is on ethnic patterns. In surface finishing, the main focus is on wood.
- American ranch. Particular attention in the interior is paid to the rough processing of wood surfaces. Stone-like tiles are used as flooring. Simple wooden or wicker furniture is used. They use one color scheme (beige, yellow, blue in different shades).
There is no need to adhere to strict canons when developing a project; it all depends on personal preferences.
The basic provisions are only the use of natural materials (wooden structures, stone, plaster), simple lines, massive furniture.
Don't forget about individuality
Of course, today you can find hundreds of photos of country kitchens in magazines. But you shouldn’t blindly copy designers’ ideas.
Remember that you should first of all be comfortable and comfortable. So don’t be afraid to get creative and come up with your own unique design.
And then gatherings at a deliciously set kitchen table will become a pleasant family tradition.
Country style - Provence
What features distinguish kitchens in this style? The interior breathes with the charm of the southern French village; it is characterized by bright natural colors - terracotta, ocher, blue, lavender. The furniture is white, there is a lot of light (natural and artificial), an abundance of flowers - from live ones in vases to potted ones.
There is an abundance of textiles around. Linen and coarse cotton dominate. All kinds of tablecloths, chair covers, curtains, capes, towels, pillows - all this is full of colors, creating a unique atmosphere of Provence style.
A huge number of details - from large wall clocks with French inscriptions to wicker baskets - can be placed here if you so choose. One thing we know for sure is that the Provence style is one of the most comfortable, which is why it is so popular on all continents. Look at the photo, doesn't it look amazing?
What if the kitchen is small?
Unfortunately, not all apartments have a kitchen that is spacious enough and has high ceilings. Is country style suitable for a small space? The room may be small, but we will find a place for our imagination to run wild!
First, decide which country style you like best, and then try to reduce the amount of furniture and details inherent in this style. If you mentally succeeded, then everything will work out.
Of course, in a small Khrushchev-era kitchen it is impossible to install a typical American country island kitchen, but this is not the only possible option.
Whitewashed ceiling, creamy plain walls, wooden furniture, open cabinets with beautiful ceramic utensils.
There are light curtains on the windows, a woven rug on the floor, the lighting is quite bright. A number of colorful interior details, well thought out, will complement the picture. You won't want to leave your cozy little kitchen.
Do not use wooden ceiling beams or dark furniture in a small room, and avoid large patterns on wallpaper. Do not overdo it with bright details - there is no place for variegation and redundancy in a small kitchen.
Stepson rules
Two weeks after planting the seedlings, pinching is carried out. During this period, the plant grows by 5-7 cm, which indicates that they are ready for this treatment. Stepping is carried out in the morning. Carefully form a bush, removing the lower leaves, ovaries in the axils and additional stems. The treatment is carried out in such a way that the bush has a maximum of two good, thick stems. It is advisable to remove all other branches.
Attention: After pinching, the plants should not be watered for one or two days.
Further, for high-quality development, it is necessary to observe the correct feeding and watering regime throughout the entire period of tomato growth. Only in this case can a rich and high-quality harvest be achieved.
