15 Best English Country Kitchen Decor Ideas

Looking for the best English country kitchen decor ideas? You’re not the only one! English culture has slowly made its way back into the minds of many Americans. With the success of television shows like Downton Abbey, Bridgerton and The Crown, people have become more fascinated with the English country style of decorating than ever before.

English country decor is charming and elegant at the same time. It’s a style that’s all about creating a practical home using traditional designs and modern sensibility. Older farmhouses in the English countryside may need some updating while newer renovations can incorporate modern updates into a home without losing its original character.

English Country Kitchens

So what do English country kitchens look like? Well, for starters they have all the traditional kitchen elements that you would imagine. The English farmhouses that are centuries old featured kitchens that were often located in the back of the house, far from where the family and guests would spend time. This is because cooking was something that was done by servants. The kitchen was not a place for home owners to spend time in!

Today, most families prefer their kitchen to be open and centered within the house. The room has turned into a family room of sorts and many modern English kitchen designs reflect that need.

We’re going to share with you a mix of both old and new English country kitchens. Some people prefer that really traditional look, while others like to have a modern English country kitchen with contemporary upgrades and conveniences.

I hope that these English country kitchen decor ideas will inspire you!

Wood Kitchen Island

The wood kitchen island is a common element of English style kitchens. Having a central place to work in the kitchen is necessary to prepare meals. Today you might serve light breakfasts at the kitchen island or pour your guests a glass of wine as they wait for dinner to be served. The kitchen island can be used for storage if it has lower cabinets. But many kitchen islands consist of a simple farmhouse wood table. Having an unattached kitchen island means you can adjust it if you want or remove it completely.

There is so much to love visually about this modern English country kitchen design! From the black and brass range to the marble butcher’s block on the kitchen island, there are lots of modern updates which make this kitchen so beautiful and practical. A navy cabinet against the wall holds many different sizes of plates, and they look very easy to reach. Aged brass touches are seen throughout. The wood beams have been painted a lovely white giving the ceiling height and interest. Finally, an old measuring scale has been placed on the center of the island to measure ingredients.

Crystal Chandelier

A crystal chandelier is a common kitchen lighting choice in English kitchen decor. This elegant lighting fixture adds a touch of charm and beauty to any space, but it’s especially welcome in the kitchen where things can get messy fast! I particularly love how light reflects off the crystals on a crystal chandelier.

This English country kitchen is warm and friendly with a beautiful pale green and beige palette. The wooden bench and rustic dining table sit center stage in the space. A white cotton dishcloth and white pitcher rest on the table. In the back, pale green cabinets have been installed next to faded gray cabinets. It looks like the original white stone wall has been left in place along with the natural wood ceiling beams. This space exudes English rustic charm!

Open Shelving

I’ve noticed that English country kitchens often make use of open kitchen shelving to display their beautiful china collection. Many serving platters and kettles are on display for the world to see. They could have beautiful floral designs printed on them or depict scenes of the English countryside. Whatever your style is, you can show off your flatware and china collection by using open shelves.

Hand-Painted Backsplash Tiling

Cottage style painted backsplash tiling is very popular in older traditional English kitchens. Finding beautiful vintage hand-painted tiles isn’t always easy but it can definitely give your kitchen a unique cottage look. The yellow kitchen cabinets in this kitchen look great with the blue and white backsplash tiling. Various cooking utensils hang from a rod attached to the wall above the tiles. Serving platters are displayed on a high shelf. This is a great example of a charming cottage blue and yellow kitchen!

Brass Pot Filler & Kitchen Hardware

One of the most practical English country kitchen decor ideas is to install a pot filler above the stove in your home. This is one kitchen upgrade that requires some extra help but it’s a practical feature that many home buyers are looking for these days. Brass kitchen hardware is another popular modern English kitchen trend. You’ll notice the brass swing arm light and brass bar pulls in this country kitchen. Copper cookware adds warmth to the space, in contrast with the marble backsplash.

Armorial Chairs

These traditional armorial chairs gathered around the rustic kitchen island are reminiscent of 19th century English castles. The country style dining table has been turned into a kitchen island. It provides a comfortable place to enjoy breakfast and casual meals. Behind, there are open shelves where serving platters and pots can be displayed for easy reach. Large ceramic jars sit on the top shelf. The floor has black white checkered tiles.

Wood Accent Stool

Many English kitchens have at least one rustic wood accent stool in them. I recently bought a small wooden stool for my home and I must say that these pieces of furniture are so useful! I use one in my bathroom for storing towels and bath products. In the kitchen, you can use one to reach the higher upper cabinets. These are certainly handy pieces of furniture that you won’t regret buying as they are so versatile. Here are a few rustic stool recommendations:

Wood Ceiling Beams

A rustic element of English architecture is the exposed wood ceiling beams found in so many English farmhouse homes. If your kitchen has original wood ceiling beams, then let these be as they naturally are. Rustic wood ceiling beams make the kitchen feel very cozy and warm. It’s a rustic cottage element that will give your home endless charm and character. I love the dark green cabinets and black AGA stove in this country kitchen. This kitchen has great modern updates while retaining its old-world charm.

Farmhouse Kitchen Sink

A farmhouse kitchen sink will give your kitchen a cozy cottage vibe. These types of sinks are noted by their thick edges that jut out from the cabinets about an inch. They are also called apron-front sinks.

This adorable English country kitchen looks like it belongs in a cute little cottage in the Cotswolds! From the wainscoting on the cabinets, to the pale green flatware cabinet, there are so many cute little elements to this space. The white curtain cabinet and the white dish towel add some inexpensive charm to the space. Wood countertops keep it warm and neutral.

Scullery

Sculleries were commonly installed in old English castles. Today you can find a few homes that still make use of them. Sculleries are basically small kitchens or washing rooms at the back of the house which are mainly used for washing dishes and performing dirty household work. It is kind of like an overflow kitchen or it could be used as a laundry room. The sink is typically smaller and the counter-space not as wide. It is sometimes adjacent to the main kitchen and thus can be used as a butler’s pantry.

This is an example of a modern English scullery. It has small white cabinets, a dark wood countertop, and a marble apron-front sink. Brass faucets have been installed along with brass knobs and drawer pulls. A wooden stool sits nearby with some white kitchen linens. Wood bowls and wood cutting boards sit on the counter for added warmth to the space. An upper shelf has been installed to hold different ceramics, jars, and vases.

Tea Sets

If there’s one thing you must pay special attention to in your English kitchen, it’s your tea sets! Drinking tea is a big part of English culture and the English love to have many different tea cups, saucers and kettles to choose from when they serve their tea at home. This is one of the more affordable English country kitchen decor ideas we have. It’s simple and yet adds a lot of character to the home!

Vintage Furniture

Vintage furniture is commonly found in English country homes and oftentimes in the kitchen. Just like the homes themselves, many pieces of furniture have been passed down through the generations, cherished as family heirlooms. You can find old tables, old chairs and even old stools inside many English country homes. These vintage furniture pieces have aged well over the years as they were originally built to last. Mixing old and new is a great idea for your English kitchen. Here an old side table and bench is paired with a modern AGA stove range.

AGA Stove

The AGA cast-iron cooking stove is a classic English country stove. This cooker oven relies on heat storage. It functions on the principle that a heavy cast iron frame can absorb heat from a low-intensity but continuous source of burning. The heat which has been building up inside is then used for cooking. Ironically AGA was founded in Sweden, but all manufacturing has occurred in the UK since 1957, which is why these English ranges are thought to truly be an English invention! Although it sometimes appears that there are four small ovens, there are actually only three and the fourth door is where the burner is stored. These are classic English country kitchen ranges! This white AGA stove looks beautiful in the English country home kitchen.

Copper Cookware

Copper is the cookware material of choice when it comes to pots, pans, kettles and more! Here you can see a copper urn for storing utensils and a copper pot for boiling water on the stovetop. A large copper pot with a lid is stored on the bottom shelf near the floor. Copper can be somewhat expensive but it does provide the finest quality of cookware. It looks great with the black range here and the marble topped wood storage cabinet.

I have always adored English Cottage and English Country style. My home is a mix of French Country, English Country, and Farmhouse styles, all unifed by vintage collectibles. I love adding little English touches to our kitchen such as drying herbs on the pot rack and old crockery on the counters. Here are some other easy ways to achieve the English country kitchen look.

How to Achieve the English Country Kitchen Look

 

Choose your Colors

The traditional country kitchen color palette features warm neutrals that create a spacious feel, even in a small space. For a modern twist, the use of pastel hues in blues, greens, and pinks is a great way to create an English country feel that is a bit lighter and brighter.

 

The Glam Pad

 

Using softer versions of colors found in the lush English countrysides is the perfect place to start, (think Farrow and Ball’s cabbage white, or parma gray). These wall colors can easily be contrasted by warmer wood tones on cupboards and accessories if you choose.   

 

Hello Lovely Studio

 

Invest in Wooden Tables and Chairs

Nothing is quite as charming as an English country kitchen with a worn pine table, old wooden chairs, or bench seating. You can also lighten up the dining area furnishings with chalk paint to create a more modern or eclectic feel. Remember, the key to a successful English country kitchen is to make it look like generations of the same family have lived, loved, and cooked in the same kitchen. 

 

From Britian with Love

Use patterns throughout

Designing an English country kitchen is all about creating a cozy and comforting heart of the home. Use patterned textiles such as window treatments and seat cushions to soften the space. Choose traditional patterns such as chintz florals, botanical prints, or plaid and tweed – but remember to keep color palettes in harmony to avoid creating too much of a mish-mash of styles.

Add Antique and Vintage Details

English country kitchens are popular because of their “collected over the years” eclectic style, and a nod to a more idyllic time. To help make your country kitchen look aged instead of brand spanking new, add some antique details like an distressed bronze or gold antique faucet, well loved copper pots and English transferware.

Display Your Wares

Traditionally,  the English country kitchen was a hive of activity— the place where fresh bread was made, hearty home-cooked meals prepared, hot tea was served, and delicious cakes baked. As a result, beloved cookware was proudly on display. This look can be achieved without your workspace feeling cluttered as long as you keep just a few choice (and chic) items within easy reach.

A pot rack that displays beautiful and antique copper pans and dried herbs is a work of art in and of itself – and who can forget the Le Creuset cookware that no English country kitchen would be complete without?

Style features

This style, despite its eclecticism, has certain features:

Kitchen colors

The colors of the kitchen in the English style involve the use of a wide range. The main thing is that the interior should contain muted shades without bright accents and pronounced contrasts.

British style favors natural materials, so pastel colors or a natural wood palette will complement the design. The kitchen space can be done in light brown, gray, beige, olive, blue or blue colors, which will look luxurious in combination with gold trim.

The photo shows an English-style corner kitchen in light colors.

Cream, pistachio or pale green tones are also appropriate as a background. The combination of gray with blue or white color scheme looks interesting.

In addition to the traditional neutral colors, brighter browns or yellows can be chosen for the design. In the case of contrasting wall cladding, furniture structures in a calm range should be installed in the room.

Furniture and Appliances

A true symbol of Victorian luxury is the kitchen. For its manufacture, only natural wood is used, decorated with carvings, forging, mosaics and other decorative details. The surface of the furniture can be artificially aged, differ in various scuffs and antique texture.

A table is installed as the main element in the room. Usually the design has a massive design and a round, oval or rectangular table top. The dining area is mainly located in the center of the kitchen and is complemented by chairs, a sofa, a bench and ottomans.

In the interior of the kitchen in the English style, all kinds of open shelves, drawers and showcases with beautiful dishes, old collectible service or other decor are appropriate.

Household appliances in the form of a refrigerator, oven and other necessary kitchen gadgets are hidden behind the facade of a headset or models that best match the vintage style are selected.

In the English kitchen, a luxurious stone or ceramic sink with a bronze or brass two-valve mixer is installed, as well as a large stove with many burners or two ovens. The hob is equipped with an exhaust pipe, stylized under the general design of the room.

The interior of the room can be decorated with a traditional fireplace, electric stove or bio-fireplace.

Finishes and materials

The floor in the room is finished with solid materials such as parquet, laminate, natural wood planks or stone. Ceramic or porcelain stoneware tiles laid out in a checkerboard pattern look original. The floor covering can be one-color or decorated with a certain geometric pattern. The floor is also appropriate to decorate with high-quality and expensive carpet.

For wall cladding, plaster or matt paint in muted and pastel shades, in harmony with the kitchen set, is suitable. In a small English-style kitchen, plain wallpaper in light and warm colors will be appropriate. For a more spacious room, the use of wallpaper with a checkered, striped print or garden roses is suitable. Also, wooden painted panels can be used in the design of the wall surface. The accent plane will help highlight ceramic tiles with imitation of brickwork. Such a decision will give the atmosphere a certain brutality and emphasize the individuality of the design.

The apron area is often laid out using the "boar" tile, which in England is better known as the "underground".

In a small kitchen in the interior of a standard apartment, ordinary whitewashing or painting will look good. The simple finish is accentuated by dark lacquered wooden beams. For a large space with a high ceiling, a multi-level design with stucco or other decor is suitable.

Curtains and table textiles

Textile window decoration in the English style kitchen involves multi-layer curtain ensembles, consisting of light, transparent white tulle and heavy curtains. A classic option would be curtains made of natural fabric with a floral print. Curtains are decorated with different tiebacks, lambrequins, tassels and other things.

The interior is complemented by all kinds of lace napkins and tablecloths with traditional checkered, striped patterns, floral or heraldic motifs, reminiscent of upholstered furniture.

Décor and Lighting

Colonial-style kitchens are lit with wood or metal lamps, wall sconces or floor lamps that provide a pleasant, soft glow. For the kitchen, lamps in the form of lanterns, barn lamps or candelabra are suitable. A tiffany stained glass chandelier, decorated with wrought iron details, will perfectly fit into the interior.

A room with a high ceiling can be complemented with a massive chandelier, the configuration of which will depend on the design direction. For example, for a kitchen in the style of English classics, gilded models decorated with pendants are suitable, and for an interior with characteristic features of a rustic country, copper or bronze lighting fixtures with candle-shaped shades are suitable.

The beauty of the surrounding design can be emphasized with snow-white English porcelain with thin, smooth outlines and delicate patterns. On numerous shelves it is appropriate to arrange vases, ceramic pots, wicker baskets, plates, various figurines or copper utensils.

Fresh flowers will add a special charm to the atmosphere. For the English style, a bouquet of geraniums is ideal. The surface of the walls will be perfectly decorated with paintings, classical engravings, antique clocks and other accessories.

Kitchen-living room interior

The prim, democratic and noble design of the English-style kitchen-living room allows you to leave only household appliances in the kitchen area, and move the dining group with chairs to the hall. For visual zoning of the combined space, different wall finishes are used. In this case, the living room is covered with wallpaper with floral motifs, and the kitchen is decorated with wooden panels or painted in a light color.

In the combined living room and kitchen in a modern English style, the room can be delimited by spot lighting, which is used to allocate a kitchen working area, and a ceiling chandelier is installed in the guest or dining sector.

The combined space is particularly comfortable. Such an interior always involves a relaxation area with a large comfortable sofa, deep armchairs, a coffee or tea table.

Contents

English style is a kind of combination of the main features and iconic designations of British symbols. To design an English-style kitchen, it is enough to bring the attributes of a rustic country, shabby chic or Victorian era into the room, the following photos say.

English style is always good quality and comfort in the interior

Characteristics of the English style kitchen

Restraint and comfort are the main features of the English style. In order to observe its traditions and recreate the interior of the British Empire in your kitchen, you must follow the basic rules for the selection of finishing materials, furniture, decor elements, special colors and other things.

English-style kitchen includes aristocracy, functionality and special chic

English style in the kitchen is, first of all:

Attention! To recreate this interior, it is reasonable to take one of the traditional design trends as a basis: country or classic.

Bright English style kitchen interior

An English-style kitchen should be as comfortable, convenient and cozy as possible, look lived-in. Some constraint and even clutter of the room will not interfere with such an interior. The photos below will help you understand the basic design techniques.

Modern English-style kitchen interiors are characterized by lightness and special style

Kitchen finishing materials

The role of decorating materials for finishing kitchen surfaces can be both natural materials and artificial materials that reliably imitate them.

Walls

A suitable option for decorating walls is plastering them and then applying paint. The paint should be matte, muted pastel colors. Often its shade completely matches the tone of the kitchen set, forcing it to merge with the wall. This technique is demonstrated by the following photos. You can also use wallpaper in a cage, stripes, garden roses or plain. Decorating the walls with wooden painted panels is also welcome.

Traditionally for the English style wallpaper in floral, checkered or vertical stripes

The choice of this or method of wall design depends on the size of the room, lighting and personal preferences of the household. For example, the following selection of photos shows how vertical striped wallpaper can visually lift the ceiling. For small rooms, blurry tones of wallpaper with a small unobtrusive pattern are suitable. Owners of large rooms can afford more saturated wall tones.

Olive is often used in English style kitchens

A good solution that will enhance the impression of the chosen style is to decorate one of the walls with ceramic tiles imitating brickwork. This will emphasize the brutality of the interior, add individuality. The following photos of an English kitchen with a brick wall are convincing of this.

Boar or subway in the English style is a favorite for kitchen backsplashes and walls

Attention! A good solution is to finish the kitchen backsplash with tiles of a special convex shape. It is called "boar" or "subway", as the London Underground is ennobled with just such a tile.

Floor

The floor surface should be covered with sound materials. Parquet, laminate, natural boards are especially welcome here. The original solution would be to decorate the floor with ceramic or porcelain tiles. The following photos suggest adopting the idea of ​​laying tiles in a checkerboard pattern. The color of the floor should be in harmony with the rest of the interior elements or create a bright contrast.

English-style kitchens often use wood floors, parquet, wood-effect laminate, or ceramic tiles

Ceiling

Plastering and painting with matt paint is ideal for ceiling design. The most preferred color is white. It is allowed to decorate the ceiling with stucco, moldings, decorative beams.

White ceiling in the English style kitchen decorated with traditional motifs

The most appropriate decorative beams look in the kitchen with rural features. The following photos show the design options for the ceiling in the English kitchen.

Wooden beamed ceiling often used in English style kitchens

Furniture

Creating a real English interior in the kitchen requires expensive exquisite natural wood furniture. The color palette always has calm noble shades: beige, milky, blue, blue. The following photos will give you ideas for choosing colors for an English-style kitchen.

Working area

Facades of furniture structures have special decorating elements: carvings, cornices, pilasters and others. An appropriate decor element is an abundance of copper or bronze handles on cabinet doors. They decorate not only the facade of the kitchen set, but also windows, doors, and a stove.

Kitchen top can be made of natural stone or natural wood. A favorite technique in its design is the use of open shelves on which dishes are placed. Plates, cups and various containers for spices can be copper, ceramic, glass.

When planning an English-style kitchen, they often use the traditional British kitchen interior technique - the location of the working area in the center of the room. At the same time, the working island does not exclude the presence of a large dining table in the kitchen. The following photos show that this solution successfully emphasizes the chosen design.

Dining area

The heart of English cuisine is the dining table. Usually it is a large-sized and massive interior detail with a round or rectangular table top. Traditionally, it is installed in the center of the room, and chairs, benches and ottomans are placed around it. All seats are soft, upholstered in natural material with a characteristic print. The upholstery pattern certainly harmonizes with other textile components of the interior: curtains on the windows, napkins, a tablecloth on the table.

Decor

English cuisine welcomes a variety of decor items. A distinctive feature is the display of dishes, so the presence in the kitchen of a hanging shelf with various kitchen utensils is a great way to emphasize this stylistic direction. The hanging rack is usually located above the working area of ​​the kitchen: in the center of the room or against the wall.

Accessories

A design feature is that not only dishes, ceramic figurines, pillows and watches, but also food can serve as decorative elements. For example, the following photos show picturesque bunches of garlic, onions, bunches of greens, wicker fruit baskets. All products that serve to decorate the kitchen are used for their intended purpose - when cooking.

Installing a red telephone booth instead of a dish rack will add sophistication and style to the interior.

Curtains

Important in the design of the kitchen in the English style is the correct design of the windows. Curtains, curtains with lambrequins, curtains are appropriate here. The color and texture of fabrics should be in harmony with the color of furniture, walls and textile elements.

A classic choice for window dressing for an English-style kitchen - curtains made of natural fabrics, decorated with garden roses. The photos presented below convince of the correctness of such a decision.

Lighting

An English-style kitchen is characterized by dividing the room into functional zones. Lighting successfully copes with this task. According to an ingrained custom, the main source of light is a massive chandelier under the ceiling. Its configuration depends on which direction the chosen design gravitates towards - classic or country.

If you want to bring the interior closer to the rural style, you need to choose a chandelier with copper or bronze elements, with plafonds imitating candles. Chandeliers with gilding and numerous pendants are more suitable for the classical style. The photos below show various options for interior chandeliers with a British accent.

Characteristic is the location of suspended light sources above the work surface, as well as the presence of floor lamps or sconces. Soft and warm light will emphasize the comfort of English cuisine.

To create a real English interior in your kitchen, you must adhere to strict age-old traditions, know the history and culture of this country.
