What color is good for a country kitchen? |

More than anything, the best colors for a country kitchen are often influenced by the view outside your window. Natural hues, whether that’s from prairie-inspired yellows, soft meadow greens, the blues of rivers, lakes and sky, moody mountain tones of green, gray and brown, or the bright shades of a cottage garden border, all feature.
Neutral tones are also key, but again these have an organic influence – milk white and cream, stone and putty shades, gentle pebble gray and coal black.
Bring this approach to nature-inspired color to your kitchen ideas and you’ll have the great foundation for a country-style kitchen.
What color is good for a country kitchen: the expert rulebook
You can introduce color to your country kitchen ideas in many ways – across cabinetry, through textiles, tile and your choice of countertop.
‘Painted woods can bring color and charm into these spaces,’ suggests Sarah Barnard, Founder of Sarah Barnard Design . ‘To keep things feeling natural, select colors inspired by nature. In a recent project, sky blue cabinets paired with a warm-toned brick chimney helped to lend a coastal element to the country aesthetic.’
Decide whether you want to opt for full-on colorful kitchen ideas, to use color as an accent within more neutral kitchen ideas, or go for a majority white kitchen that pares back the country palette.
1. Add a blue or green island

Island paint color ideas can bring your favourite shade front and center of your country kitchen, especially when you take the predominant tone from the natural landscape – either blue or green.
‘Neutral tones are the overarching theme when it comes to colors for your country kitchen, though some projects will have an accent color for their island like a stoney blue or earthy green,’ explains Teri Simone, Head of Design & Marketing for Nieu Cabinet Doors .
2. Layer pale shades for warmth and depth

Lisa Slack, Head of Product at Thomas Sanderson , is another advocate of neutral tones as good colors for a country kitchen – but there’s a trick to making them look good.
‘Neutral color palettes are the key for creating the country style in the kitchen, especially the layering of different minimalist shades of whites, creams and greys,’ Lisa says. ‘Not only will a neutral color scheme crisp up your kitchen providing a sophisticated look, but lighter-coloured walls will make any space feel bigger than it actually is.’
One option is to go for cream kitchen ideas that go across all surfaces. You could start with a warm cream for your cabinetry, with a lighter tone for walls, and a warm stone floor.
Or for a cooler take on the neutral look, choose white cabinets and tile, with pale gray accents for depth, as in this kitchen from Kitchen Makers from Burbidge & Son.
Whether warm or cool, both schemes will create a harmonious, relaxed look that’s the epitome of country kitchen style.
3. Use brick and stone to add color

It’s not just natural colors that are key to a country kitchen; it’s natural materials, too.
Choose surfaces and structural materials wisely and they will contribute effortlessly to your country color palette. These also work particularly well for layering color into traditional kitchen ideas and decorating schemes.
‘Brick helps create an authentic look and feel that reminds you of an old-fashioned home where everything was made by hand,’ says Utah-based interior designer Linda Hasse, of The Project Girl .
‘Stone can be used in several ways including countertops, backsplashes and floors. It also helps give your kitchen a rustic feel while making it seem more spacious than it really is.
‘Finally metal can be used as cabinet hardware or as accents throughout your kitchen such as pendant lights over your stovetop or ovens.’ Choose warm tones of copper, bronze and brass to bring burnished color to your country kitchen.
4. Pair pale blue with dark gray

Country kitchen colors are used to convey a sense of ease and welcome.
So while dark hues are cocooning and cozy, they can sometimes seem too heavy in a rustic scheme.
‘The answer is to play a paler tone against the darker shade, as in this country kitchen color scheme from Benjamin Moore paints,’ says interiors stylist and author, Sara Bird.
‘Dream-team colors good for a country kitchen include duck egg blue and deep gray; primrose yellow with deep green; and pale pink with either navy or plum.’
5. Add in a bouquet of tonal colors

This vibrant and characterful country kitchen, with scallop-detail pendants from David Hunt Lighting , features shades of olive, pine green, deep blue and coral, over a base of pale putty pink.
‘Rather than a color clash, the blues and greens work harmoniously together – with the jolt of brighter coral to enliven the scheme,’ says global editor in chief of Homes & Gardens.
If you’re not confident about mixing and matching different hues, use the color wheel as your guide.
Alternatively, take a photo of a bouquet of flowers or a vibrant garden border, and see which colors work beautifully side by side in nature.
6. Embrace darker shades like charcoal and black

Black may seem the antithesis of a good color for a country kitchen, but it can work beautifully across shiplap walls and wooden cabinetry.
‘Majority black kitchen ideas, or black and white kitchen ideas, can be great for a country scheme, especially when lifted with natural wood furniture and accessories that introduce warmth and texture,’ says stylist Sara Bird. ‘Decorative elements such as artworks, plants and displays of kitchenalia will also soften the look, and bring an eclectic feel to your dark kitchen cabinet ideas.’
7. Add sunny yellow to a country kitchen

Still wondering what color is good for a country kitchen? Add yellow to your list.
‘Heritage ochre, rich buttercup yellow and pale primrose are just some of the many yellow tones that suit a country kitchen,’ says Homes & Garden global editor in chief, Lucy Searle. ‘These natural tones can lift a dark scheme, form the foundation of a bright and sunny kitchen, or add zest as an accent in a neutral scheme.’
If you're considering yellow kitchen ideas, just remember that yellow paints can look very different depending on the amount and tone of light in your room. Test out lots of different shades before you make your final choice, not forgetting to pair them with the other colors in your scheme so you can be sure they complement each other.
What are country style colors?
Country colors are inspired by the natural shades you would see in nature, and range from the darkest tar and charcoal to the palest sky blue and cloud white.
'In the US and Europe, what you won't tend to see in a country palette are artificial, neon or excessively bright tones, even if you might see these in a natural habitat – these would tend to be categorised as tropical tones,' explains stylist Sara Bird.

Country style kitchen design (+55 photos) - Interior ideas
Translated from English, “country” means countryside, but even in the center of a metropolis, a kitchen decorated in this style will give a relaxed atmosphere of a ranch, cozy cottage or country estate. The inspiration for such an interior can be found in American westerns and traditional rural culture, borrowing from them natural simplicity, solidity and convenience. If you approach the design of a country-style kitchen with a soul, then the result will bring you the most positive emotions!
Highlights of country style
Rustic business card - natural materials. Roughly crafted wood and stone, solid solid furniture, wickerwork and earthenware are the basis of the interior, while cute trinkets, rustic textiles and vintage decor give it a lived-in look.
The natural harmony of natural textures and shades promotes relaxation - in such an environment, problems and hardships are quickly forgotten, and instead of them there is a mood to cook a delicious cake or arrange a festive dinner. It is pleasant to touch matte wooden surfaces, they exude home comfort.
Country style is very practical, you want to spend as much time as possible in it, feeling the calm regularity of country life.
Colors
Brown country style kitchen
At the mention of a rural house, wooden walls and antique furniture in brown tones immediately appear.
The color of chocolate, from bitter to milky, is simply irreplaceable in country style. Even if the kitchen is entirely made in light colors, it should still contain at least minimal dark accents. For example, the surface of the tabletop or the upholstery of chairs can be brown. At the same time, harsh black in a rustic interior is out of place.
Country white kitchen
Instead of a cold snow-white shade, slightly diluted matte tones are used in the country: milky, cream, vanilla, light beige and sand.
Walls or ceilings are often painted white, kitchen furniture is often presented in this color - but, unlike the classical design, neither carved scrolls nor golden frames adorn the facades.
Country green kitchen
The life-affirming color of grass and leaves looks as organic as possible next to natural wood. Green walls and textiles wonderfully emphasize the texture of solid wood furniture.
Delicate olive, mint and emerald shades are usually chosen for kitchen sets, for which the best complement is beige or gray of equal saturation.
Red country style kitchen
Red kitchen is a bold and unusual solution, but in country style it looks quite calm. Matte lingonberry, terracotta and burgundy tones look great on the facades of the headset, they are elegantly repeated in the small pattern of textiles, dishes and decor.
An ideal background for such rich furniture will be white or light wood color.
Kitchen finishing in country style
Until the end of the 20th century, natural materials were the only ones available for home improvement.
Now, when plastics and polymers are gradually replacing them, the once simple wood, limestone, vine and clay have gained elite status - often the price of such an eco-friendly design exceeds even cutting-edge high-tech. However, it is possible to equip a country-style kitchen even with a limited budget, especially since high-quality natural finishes will subsequently last for decades.
Floor
It is impossible to imagine a rustic kitchen without a plank floor. To increase the life of a parquet board, it should be coated with a matte varnish or moisture-proof oil impregnation.
A more practical finish is white or brown tiles, as well as porcelain stoneware imitating stone or wood.
In a small kitchen, it is better to make the floor plain or checkerboard, using small tiles (10x10 cm).
Walls
Moisture-resistant coatings and materials should be used to finish the walls in the kitchen. In country style, decorative “chipped” stone, ceramic and clinker tiles are ideal for this purpose.
If desired, they can only be lined with an apron, and the rest of the walls can be left for painting, upholstery with wooden clapboard (in extreme cases, with plastic wood-like panels) or wallpapering.
Even in a rustic design, textured plaster with the effect of antiquity, brick and stone masonry, wallpaper with floral ornaments, patchwork tiles, and mosaics with pastoral scenes will be appropriate.
Ceiling
The ceiling in a country-style kitchen is usually decorated with wooden beams. If the height of the room allows, then you can use false MDF beams. Hollow inside, they will help hide the wiring and will not hang menacingly over your head.
In small kitchens, it is better to simply whitewash the ceiling or paint it with white water-based paint. If a stretch film is used, it must be matte, as light as possible.
Textile
Rustic coziness is unthinkable without beautiful light fabrics. Curtains, tablecloths, napkins, kitchen towels, upholstery of chairs - all this gives the interior of a country-style kitchen a very nice homely look.
Chintz, cotton and linen are traditional for this style of design. However, given how difficult it is to care for these materials, it is better to give preference to synthetic imitations, which are easier to wash off stains, do not wrinkle and do not fade in the sun.
Country kitchen will be decorated with textiles with small floral patterns, as well as checks or polka dots. Ruffles, lace, ruffles, ribbons and bows are welcome.
Country style kitchen furniture
Beautiful country-style kitchen furniture is sometimes found in luxury salons, and its price is quite high. But you can always find a compromise, for example, turn to craftsman carpenters, restore antiques, or do it yourself.
Kitchen set
The headset, which at first glance gives the impression of reliability, durability and rough simplicity, is most likely related to the country style. It can be made of solid wood, MDF or chipboard, with a unique wood texture or painted, but it is always solid functionality without any frills.
The facades of the set can be decorated with simple geometric carvings, diamond-shaped grilles or perforations. Doors are always with handles, the old fashioned way. Fittings are used mainly copper, brass or iron. The hood can close the facade to match the rest of the wall design or in the form of a chimney.
As for the placement rules, for a small country-style kitchen, it is better to choose a high, but narrow, L- or U-shaped. In a large space, you can afford an island option, when a place in the center is reserved for a functional high table.
Dining area
Furniture for a rustic dining area is a traditional rectangular or round wooden table, stable chairs with high backs or a massive bench. Hammered metal elements, wickerwork from rattan or wicker are possible. Seats are often upholstered in soft fabric with a floral pattern or brown leather.
In a small kitchen, the function of a dining table can be played by a folding shelf mounted vertically on the wall, a large window sill or other device.
Storage systems
In a country-style kitchen, it is not necessary to hide everything behind blank facades. Beautiful crystal and painted ceramic sets will only decorate the interior, being behind a glass partition; for pans and improvised appliances, you can make wooden hangers with hooks - so they will always be at hand.
Open shelves, no matter how attractive they may seem, are rather impractical - dust, particles of grease and moisture will accumulate on the objects placed there. Therefore, most products and kitchen utensils are best placed in closed cabinets, drawers, mounted on hooks or magnets on the inside of the doors. It will be more convenient to store plates and lids vertically in special grids, rather than stacking them.
Separately, organizer boxes should be provided for various small things, cutlery or spices. You can store vegetables, bread and other food in a rustic kitchen in pull-out wicker baskets or slatted pallets.
Country style kitchen decor
Old things from grandma's attic are ideal for rustic style: a cuckoo clock, a wooden chest with metal corners (by the way, a fairly roomy storage system for stocks of flour, sugar and cereals), an oil lamp, antique stove tiles (any of them look like a work of art).
art and can be used as a panel), embroidered towels or crocheted napkins.
Any wooden, wicker and forged decorations can also become a highlight of the interior. Do not neglect hand-painted wall plates in folk style, earthenware, figurines of domestic animals and birds. All this can be easily found at fairs or ordered online.
How to arrange lighting?
When choosing lighting fixtures for a country-style kitchen, you should avoid cutting-edge options. Spotlights, neon ribbons, fluorescent lamps with their cold white or bluish light are best left for high-tech. In a rustic style, soft yellowish light from spot diodes, discreetly mounted above work surfaces, will look much better.
As for the chandelier, it is advisable to choose it in the form of antique forged candlesticks, but simple white, "lace" and even stained glass shades are also quite suitable.
