Rustic kitchen design - photos of real interiors and tips

Rustic kitchen design - a solution that can harmoniously complement the interior of a country house or create an appropriate atmosphere in a city apartment. This mini-guide contains the advantages and disadvantages of such a choice, as well as the main rules for designing a country space.

1.

Colors

Rustic style is always a natural palette. It can be either neutral (white, beige, brown, gray and their shades), or brighter (saturated green, cheerful yellow, accent red), or it can be subtle and delicate, based on pastel colors (mint, peach, dusty -pink).

2. Materials

The base of the style is natural materials: wood, metal, ceramics, wicker accessories. Obvious artificiality (plastic, polyurethane, non-natural linoleum) will definitely not come into play.

3. Finishing

The floor in the country-style kitchen is best laid out with ceramic tiles, porcelain stoneware, wood or cork.

Walls - leave wooden (if you are decorating a wooden house), paint or finish with wooden clapboard, aged boards. You can also turn to wallpaper with floral or floral patterns if you gravitate towards Provence.

Wooden beams will be appropriate on the ceiling; full wood trim also looks impressive; but you can choose just a flat, light ceiling.

Design: Evgeny Zhdanov, Pavel Godyaev


Design: Denis Svirid


4. Furniture

Modern manufacturers often offer stylized country collections. In addition, models of laconic or classic silhouettes are suitable, retro furniture will come in handy. Often, options from minimally processed wood in the style of scandi-minimalism or rustic style will also be appropriate.

Design: Svetlana Yurkova


5. Decor

Textiles are the main decorative element. Natural textured materials, lace, macrame, unobtrusive floral and floral prints, polka dots, checks, ruffles and frills are appropriate. Tablecloths on tables, knitted napkins, fabric pot holders, flowerpots and lampshades woven from threads, patchwork rugs, decorative pillows on chairs and sofas - all this will come in handy in a rustic-style kitchen.

Pros and cons of style

Rustic kitchen style, like any other, has its pros and cons.

Main advantages

1. Comfort. Of course, country is associated with intimacy, enveloping atmosphere, directness of design - in a word, with comfort.

Design: Irena Barene

Design: architectural studio of Natalia Tumanova


2. Democracy. The style does not require dizzying investments, it is quite flexible and is interspersed with other directions.

3. Relevance. Country style meets many modern trends: the craving for natural materials and the use of various textures, the ability to give things a second life and mix style with others.

4. Easy to implement. Designing a kitchen in this style is much easier than creating, say, a neoclassical interior or a harmonious minimalist space.

5. Diversity. Rustic style is very flexible: you can create a more sophisticated space with a Provence bias, or you can rely on rough shapes and textures and go rustic.

6. No pretentiousness. If you are one of those who are tired of polished non-ferrous metals, mirrored furniture, marble, velvet and other clear evidence of luxury, the country atmosphere may appeal to you.

7. Lack of reference to area. Country will be appropriate in both a large house and a small apartment.

Key disadvantages

1. Simplicity. This is one of the key characteristics of a rustic interior, and if you like more solid, status, luxurious, glossy interiors, country is not your choice.

Project author: Petr Kozeikin

2. Deceptive budget. In continuation of the previous paragraph: yes, the country atmosphere is rustic, but at the same time it is by no means budget (although at first glance it may seem that way). Of course, the style is democratic to a certain extent and allows for economical solutions, but at the same time it requires natural materials (wood, ceramics, natural textiles), and this in itself is already quite expensive. Add here stylized household appliances, high-quality furniture and sophisticated design techniques.

3. The complexity of balancing. Designing a country kitchen is not difficult, it is difficult to feel the fine line of exactly the rustic underlay that you like: do not overdo it with the elegance of floral prints or go too far with the roughness of textures.

Design: ST-interiors

4. The complexity of implementation in a city apartment. It is one thing to create a country atmosphere in a wooden country house, but to do it in an urban dwelling is quite another. Real log walls, a functioning stove and a rural landscape outside the windows - alas, all this is real only in a private house outside the city.

Do-it-yourself rustic kitchen - features of arrangement, decoration and furniture, photos of successful designs

Contents

A wooden house, a shop and a stove - if that's how you imagine a rustic style, then your ideas are far from the truth. Pay attention to the photo - today the rustic-style kitchen is at the peak of popularity, and not only in private homes. Country stylization is often used in the design of apartments in high-rise buildings, and the design of a rustic-style kitchen is not just imbued with the spirit of antiquity: it is a cozy space for family gatherings, reminiscent of a grandmother's village house.

Cozy rustic atmosphere in the kitchen can be recreated within the city apartment

Style Features

Country style implies several directions. This is a stylization of rural life, characteristic of a particular country. In this perspective, different types of country music are distinguished:

Country can be safely called an international style, uniting the traditions of residents from different parts of the world

All of them are united by one thing - the reproduction in the interior of a living space of the main features of a village house, combined with ergonomics and convenience, the comfort of modern life.

Important! Simplicity, unpretentiousness of the interior, natural materials, a lot of kitchen utensils and textiles, hand-made decor items - this is what is typical for a style reminiscent of the atmosphere of antiquity.

Antique furniture blends very harmoniously with modern appliances

It is not necessary to completely reproduce the "village hut" in a multi-storey apartment and build a stove, install a wooden bench. It is enough to support the main features in the interior, correctly placing accents - the style of the village will be harmonious.

A bright rustic-style interior looks very good in a city apartment

Color palette

Rustic kitchen interior design, as the photos show, is characterized by natural colors - pastel shades of beige, yellow, gray, milky colors. The colors of wood, clay, sand, sky, sunset - everything that is close to nature. When creating a country interior, it is important to correctly combine shades with each other, creating not a dull, but a harmonious space.

Rich, muted colors look great in rustic kitchens

You can add more saturated, but not flashy, red, grassy, ​​orange, saturated shades of blue to the light tones of the walls and ceiling. These bright colors will create color accents, there should not be many of them, and it is advisable to use them only for decor items - a bright painted jug, colorful curtains, a tablecloth embroidered with scarlet poppies.

Violet shades complement the wooden furniture in the country style kitchen very harmoniously

For a large kitchen, you can use the colors of natural wood: light - for walls, dark - for furniture. The photo shows that in the design of a small kitchen in a country house, the abundance of wood will visually reduce the space, it is better to stay on plain walls, and make the furniture a few tones darker, but do not choose completely dark shades. Another option for the interior of a large kitchen space in a country house - against the backdrop of dark walls - a bright kitchen corner will look easy and harmonious. The photo shows options for how you can decorate the interior of the kitchen in a large village house or country cottage.

Light furniture in the rustic kitchen makes the interior more airy and fresh

Finish

For the design of the walls in the kitchen in a village house, it is better not to use modern materials - plastic panels, vinyl and non-woven wallpaper here will definitely be out of place. And tile on the floor is also undesirable. If you can’t do without it, try so that it doesn’t stand out especially against the background of the rest of the decoration and furniture, but merges with them, does not create dissonance.

The use of natural materials in country-style kitchens creates a warm, inviting atmosphere

Walls

  1. Whether in a village house or in an apartment, decorating the walls, it is best to opt for whitewashing with water-based paint, white or with the addition of color. For greater stylization of rustic comfort, you can not perfectly align the surfaces, let them be with slight irregularities, roughness.
  2. You can use decorative textured plaster for decoration, it can give some negligence, roughness and unevenness to the walls.
  3. Another option is an imitation of brickwork, masonry, which can be created using clinker tiles. You do not need to use "masonry" on the entire wall, you can perform such a finish only on part of the wall, and decorate the other part with plaster, creating an imitation of whitewash that has peeled off from time to time.
  4. Wood - natural lining, veneer, MDF - another option for decorating a kitchen space in a rustic folk style.
