Tired of the bustle of the big city, many residents of megalopolises acquire small country houses, where they have the opportunity to relax their souls and enjoy the cozy atmosphere of rural tranquility. Accustomed to comfort and style, modern owners of rural estates pay great attention to the interior of their home, starting with its very heart - the kitchen.

The design of the kitchen in a rustic style has its own characteristics and differs significantly from the usual design of the kitchen of a city apartment. At the same time, it is no less effective and can have a very different performance. Many of the decor elements can be done by hand or you can buy designer items in the country style.

A rustic kitchen has its own characteristics

It will be pleasant to cook in this one.

Design in this style does not require large financial costs.

The interior of a rustic kitchen is always laconic and simple, but at the same time filled with softness and warmth. It is possible to combine these qualities in one room due to the peculiarities of the rustic style:

• decorative carving on furniture;
• natural wood, no artificial materials;
• fireplace or stove;
• retro accessories;
• warm colors.

The creation of such an environment does not require cosmic financial costs and innate design talent. The rustic style in the kitchen is one of the easiest to implement.

Almost the entire kitchen can be made of wood.

The main feature of the rustic style is simplicity

Ethnic design is quite popular all over the world, and each country leaves its own special imprint on it. Thanks to this, the ethno style was divided into many directions.

Direction
Classic	Black, white, red	Dark wood floors, light ceiling	Houseplants, antique items
	Delicate pastel shades: beige, peach, mint and others	Textured plaster, light walls, use of stone, brick and old boards	Antique or do-it-yourself aged furniture, lots of textiles and souvenirs, floral patterns, open shelves,
Scandinavian	Bright accents on a white base	Plank floor or laminate, tiles may be present, light walls are required	Minimal decor, spacious light space, furniture of simple shapes, many light sources
	All shades of wood + bright textiles	Slightly sloppy whitewashing, wood flooring, use natural stone	Wooden dishes, embroidery and painting, baskets with fruits, herbs and mushrooms, flowers on the windows, oven
Mediterranean	White and all shades of blue	The apron can be finished with ceramic tiles with majolica, for the walls - textured plain wallpaper, plaster or brickwork	Elegant wrought iron or wicker furniture, nautical themes, natural textiles, simple curtains or blinds.
	Milk, beige, bright yellow, chocolate, green, blue, orange and light gray	Wood paneling or wall panels, checkered wallpaper, polka dots or traditional patterns, wood floor	Curtains with lambrequins, pottery, wicker baskets, decorative plates, carpets and embroidery

All these styles can be easily mixed with each other, creating fresh and unconventional solutions for your home. The main mistake that should be avoided when creating a rustic kitchen interior is excessive lurid combinations.

Ethnic style is divided into several categories

It is not necessary to do everything in one style, you can combine several directions and get a unique interior

Natural wood is a must in the interior of the kitchen

Finishing

Finishing occupies a special place in the interior of the kitchen in ethnic style. It is she who tells us about the style of the room and should inspire thoughts about the comfort and tranquility of provincial life. Even entering a room with a bare floor, walls and ceiling, we already understand that in front of us is just a village house, and not a modern city apartment.

By decoration, you can determine the style in which the room is made.

In a rustic style, natural wood is usually used for decoration.

Walls

The main technique used to decorate the interior of a modern kitchen in the ethno style is wood-like wall decoration. It's great if the walls of the house are actually wooden. Otherwise, to create this effect, you will have to resort to the use of decorative panels or wallpaper with wood imitation.

You can visually expand the area of ​​a small kitchen using photo wallpaper. Be sure to choose a drawing that will organically fit into your interior: the image of a birch grove is suitable for Russian-style kitchens, floral patterns for Provence, and photo wallpapers imitating rough boards will look in the spirit of a Scandinavian interior.

Rustic decoration suggests some roughness, so uneven textures, whitewash and plaster are quite appropriate here.

Wall decoration can be done with wallpaper, plaster or wood paneling

Perfectly straight lines can be avoided

Whatever material you choose, the main thing is that everything is harmonious

Ceiling

Ceiling decoration in a country house has its own characteristics. Decor in the form of ceiling beams is actively used here. Usually these floors are quite massive, the material of execution is natural wood, and the color is chosen slightly darker than the main surface of the ceiling. In the interior of the Russian-style kitchen, these beams are usually decorated with bundles of dried mushrooms, herbs and garlic.

For the manufacture of such ceiling structures, untreated logs or boards are usually used. Artificial materials are used much less frequently.

The disadvantage of this decor is the decrease in the height of the room due to it. Therefore, it is used only in the interior of kitchens with high ceilings.

Ceiling decoration needs special attention.

Ceiling beams can often be found on the ceiling.

Floor

Laminate with wood imitation is quite suitable for flooring. Its varieties, depicting boards of different widths, look especially interesting and natural.

A wooden floor made of oak planks will ideally fit into the interior of a rustic kitchen. It is not necessary to cover it with varnish, grinding and impregnation will be enough.

The room will look even more charming if you add to it a few wicker rugs, which are very popular in the interiors of country houses.

Usually wood is used for flooring.

Tiles can be laid on the floor, it will look beautiful

The kitchen will look even better with a wicker rug on the floor.

Rustic furniture

Furniture is a significant component of the rustic style. Massive tables and wide headsets made of natural wood take up a lot of space in the kitchen and attract attention, setting the tone for the entire interior.

The main components of a country-style kitchen are:

• big table;
• massive chairs and benches;
• wide kitchen cabinets;
• buffets and cabinets.

All of them are decorated with carvings, panels, lattices and paintings that you can create with your own hands. It is very subtle to approach the choice of kitchen equipment: it should not look deliberately modern and progressive. Ideal if you manage to find such models that will be executed in retro style, but at the same time have a good functional filling.

Rustic kitchen design requires simple, uncomplicated furniture. Give preference to open cabinets and shelves, try to refuse closed models, since in country style even ordinary dishes are part of the overall decor.

Large Scandinavian-style kitchens are complemented by rough oak furnishings. It will go well with the ceiling beams, which are often used to decorate such rooms.

Interesting furniture design of kitchens a la rus. A feature of this trend is the use of benches instead of chairs, painted furniture and bright textiles. The oven and chest are also key elements of Russian cuisine, and it can be quite difficult to fit them into modern homes.

Furniture is usually made of natural wood

Windows and lighting

Since the basis of a rustic-style kitchen interior is the use of natural materials, in particular wood, it is better to replace modern plastic windows with ordinary wooden ones.

Be sure to also remove the blinds and hang simple linen or cotton curtains in their place. For a home decorated in the Russian style, bright curtains with floral patterns are suitable, and for a classic or Scandinavian one - in a cage or strip.

There should be plenty of lighting in the kitchen, especially in the work area. For this, lighting devices are placed not only on the ceiling, but also on the walls, and also built into furniture. The design of the lamps is chosen so that it fits into the general atmosphere of the room and does not look too modern.

It is advisable to put wooden windows

Curtains can be used in linen or cotton

There should be enough light in the kitchen

Classic rustic cuisine

The advantage of the classic style, which allows it not to go out of fashion for centuries, is an amazing combination of simplicity and elegance in one interior. A competent approach to such a design requires a competent ratio of the colors used to each other: red, white and black.

It is always taken as a basis White color... So the kitchen room will seem lighter, and, therefore, more spacious. With the help of light shades of walls and ceilings, you can create an illusion that visually makes the area much wider.

A rustic kitchen should be simple and straightforward

It is advisable to use furniture made of dark wood.

Dark shades of black, gray and brown are used mainly as framing: furniture elements, ceiling beams, flooring. For this, it is better to use materials from natural dark wood.

Red color makes the kitchen more vibrant and life-affirming. It is used in details and accents: towels, curtains, tablecloths. There may well be a place for red furniture, but it is worth buying it very carefully so as not to overdo it in the amount of red items. An unusual element of decor can be a red brick wall on one side of the room. Both white and black objects will look great against its background.

Rustic style is often identified with Provence, which is not entirely true. Both of these styles are typical of the countryside. Yes, they carry a provincial aesthetics, they are distinguished by their simplicity, they mainly use calm colors. However, Provence, having French roots, is a more sophisticated style than country. This sophistication manifests itself most strongly in the elements of decor and color palette typical of the style: if it is customary to decorate the interior of a rustic kitchen with earthenware, then in Provence, porcelain and patterned embroidery set the tone; while in country a relatively uniform color scheme is used, in provence contrasting combinations are acceptable.

The most vividly rustic style is characterized by:

• natural materials in decoration;
• rough solid wood furniture;
• neutral colors and an abundance of natural light;
• a large number of textiles;
• natural or artificially aged surfaces;
• rural household items used as decorative elements.

Rustic finishes and materials

When decorating your kitchen in a rustic style with your own hands, give preference to natural materials: stone, metal, ceramics, glass, but above all - various types of wood. After all, what other material can bring out the provincial aesthetics of rustic interiors just as vividly? However, if it is not possible to get natural material, it is permissible to use non-veneered chipboards instead (provided that they realistically imitate the color and texture of solid wood).

Walls. In a wooden house, an ordinary planed board is most often used for finishing vertical surfaces. At the end finishing works surfaces can be coated with matt varnish. In an apartment or a brick house, walls can be plastered or pasted over textured wallpaper... The place where food is prepared - usually an oven or stove - is the heart of any kitchen, so it should be highlighted. It is best to do this with ceramic tiles - plain or with simple patterns, but by no means glossy.

Floors. It is also recommended to use wood as a floor covering, and solid wood is best suited (by no means parquet). Ceramic tiles or porcelain stoneware will become a fire-safe alternative to solid wood. Artificial materials such as laminate or linoleum are also acceptable, but undesirable. Yes, such coatings can imitate a fairly wide range of natural materials, including those inaccessible with an average income, but with them your kitchen will definitely not be considered the standard of style.

Rustic interior colors

Country style, like modern, is an ode to the unity of man and nature. But if in Art Nouveau this unity takes place on a symbolic level, then in the rustic style the emphasis is placed on the most complete immersion. And the whole palette of colors used in the interior should contribute to this immersion.

• Walls, floors and ceilings do not have to preserve the natural color of natural wood - the "naturalness" of the interior will perfectly convey the texture of the wood. Therefore, most surfaces can be painted in almost any light neutral color - beige, sand, ocher, olive or pine green.
• The use of brighter colors - terracotta, mustard, coffee - is also acceptable, but provided that they are muted, as if faded in the sun. Such shades will bring a bit of expression into the kitchen interior, give it a cheerful and life-affirming look.
• Kitchen furniture can be chosen from both light (beech, pine) and dark (oak, walnut) wood. However, if you want to use dark furniture, remember that it should not contrast too much with the walls and floors - they can be finished with lacquered board of light wood, but in no case should they be painted white or beige.

Advice: Refrain from using furniture made of reddish wood - it will look ridiculous in a rustic interior.

Rustic kitchen interior design

Rustic kitchen furniture should be made of natural wood whenever possible, usually not painted but varnished. Such furniture is quite massive and even somewhat rough, but with all its appearance it declares its own reliability. The basis of the interior is made up of cabinets and tables with drawers, benches and cupboards.

• Rustic furniture should not only please the eye, but also be practical. Choose cupboards with lots of drawers. It is recommended to store jars with cereals and spices, decor items, kitchen utensils on open shelves or shelves.
• Hanging kitchen cabinets for dishes and supplies should be spacious. Their doors are usually made of solid wood, but they can also be supplied with windows covered with a lattice or glass (in no case stained glass!).
• If you plan to use modern appliances in the kitchen, remember that they should be visible only when they are directly used. The rest of the time, high-tech household appliances should be hidden in the cabinets allocated for them, so that their appearance does not violate the traditional aesthetics of the interior.
• The dining table should be round or, if you have a large family, rectangular with rounded corners. Such forms to some extent compensate for the excessive severity of the lines of simple furniture.
• The new kitchen set can be artificially aged - numerous abrasions and irregularities will give it a more noble look. Do not be afraid to use furniture inherited from your grandparents, it will only emphasize the provincial aesthetics of the interior.
• If you are confident enough in your own abilities and want to make a kitchen set in a rustic style with your own hands, Amish furniture will serve as a good source of inspiration for you. One glance at a photo of an interior furnished with such furniture will be enough for you to understand in which direction to move.

Rustic furniture should not only please the eye, but also be practical. Choose cupboards with lots of drawers

Important: Tables with glass tops, chairs with chrome legs and other similar furniture in the kitchen should not be - it will not fit into a rustic interior.

We decorate the interior of the kitchen in a rustic style

A country-style kitchen should be decorated not too defiantly, but at the same time diverse. First of all, in such a kitchen, a large number of textile products is striking - usually curtains, tablecloths, napkins, towels. Numerous open shelves should not be empty, therefore they are tightly forced with all kinds of kitchen utensils - both really useful and performing purely decorative functions.

1. Curtains, tablecloths and upholstery should be of the same color if possible. You can even make them from the same fabric - certainly light and natural. The pattern is acceptable if it is simple and unobtrusive; the most common options are a cage, a strip, a floral ornament.
2. The shelves should literally burst with all sorts of belongings. Anything impregnated with the spirit of the countryside will do: baskets, birch bark cups, vases, caskets, milk jugs, etc. Special place in the interior of the kitchen can be occupied by compositions from objects of traditional peasant art - carved boards or clay toys.
3. Even food supplies - bunches of onions and garlic or dried herbs and mushrooms - can perform a decorative function in the interior of a rustic kitchen. Such "accessories" will not only give the kitchen a welcoming look, but will also fill the room with mouth-watering smells.
4. On the walls, you can hang pictures in simple frames and decorative ceramic plates. A great option is a cuckoo clock. If the kitchen is combined with the dining room, the walls of the latter can be decorated with various hunting trophies: elk antlers, stuffed birds, etc.
5. A great way to "spice up" rustic kitchen interiors is to take photos of pets in simple frames. By design, the photos should be as if faded - this effect can be achieved by a little "conjuring" over the image in graphic editors.

Rustic kitchen in a country house

Let's say you decide to equip a country-style kitchen in a country house. What does it mean? Firstly, a private house provides great flexibility in the area of ​​planning decisions. Secondly, it becomes possible to design a summer kitchen in a freestanding building. Thirdly, outside the city you will have a wonderful opportunity to cook not only on a gas, but also in a real oven. Taken together, these three advantages will make the atmosphere of rustic comfort in your kitchen as concentrated as possible.

• If the area of ​​the room allows, consider the option of an island layout, in which a cutting table, and sometimes also a stove, is placed in the central part of the kitchen. On the periphery, additional work surfaces, cupboards, a sink and an oven can be located. This solution looks especially great in the interior of a summer kitchen.
• Before buying or ordering new furniture from "private traders", in order to then carry it many kilometers away to your Vacation home, try to start just walking around the neighbors. Perhaps one of them has long dreamed of getting rid of a rare buffet, the true value of which in the whole district no one, except you, even knows. With a little work, you can breathe into old furniture new life, thus making a set with a rich history the main highlight of your kitchen (or even the whole house).
• An excellent solution would be a large, full-wall window directly opposite the working area. It can offer inspiring garden or river views. Having such a window in the summer kitchen, you can prepare culinary masterpieces while admiring the beauty of the surrounding nature. However, this is not the only advantage of large windows - they also tend to visually expand the room. And of course, they fit perfectly into a rustic interior. An example of the design of a large kitchen window is in the photo below.

Because of the constant hustle and bustle of city dwellers, they strive to create a place in their apartments where they could forget about the city bustle and stressful work. This applies to all rooms, including the kitchen, especially since this is a favorite place for evening gatherings, so it is very often they try to make it truly homely and cozy. Therefore, the kitchen is often decorated in a rustic style. After all, it is he who allows you to create a simple and homely atmosphere, where every detail of the interior contributes to peace and tranquility.

In each country, the rustic style has its own individual characteristics, but it should be noted that all the villages of the world have in common - this is the simplicity and abundance of natural materials.

Today in the article we will analyze how you can recreate a rustic style in your own kitchen, find out what materials and accessories should be used for this.

How rustic style is expressed in the kitchen

The absence of excessive obtrusive gloss and gloss, high urban aesthetics, all this emphasizes the simplicity that is characteristic of the rustic style. He does not tolerate stylish interior design, bright colors and newfangled materials and accessories. The simpler the interior design, the better, even rough finishing and roughness are allowed.

Village houses have always been finished mainly with improvised natural materials - stones, wood, natural textiles, these are the resources that are always available in the village.

An integral part of any rustic style is an open source of fire. For the Russian style, of course, this is a bleached brick stove, in other cases it is a fireplace.

A beautifully designed stove can serve as a fire source in a city apartment. Or if the kitchen is large, then an electric fireplace can be placed in one of the corners, with an imitation of any masonry.

Rustic kitchen wall decoration

Country-style kitchen walls can be decorated with different materials, but it should be said that there should not be any newfangled decors on them. In general, the rustic style in the kitchen can be perfectly expressed by wooden panels under the board. It is not uncommon in this case to use a parquet board or laminate on the walls. Both materials are of immaculate wood appearance, have high practicality, are easy to maintain, and the laminate is still much cheaper than natural wood.

Wallpaper with a small floral pattern will also look good. In combination with such curtains on the windows, a light and simple atmosphere in the kitchen will be created.

Of course, more expensive materials can be used for the walls: an artificial facing stone - it can be a brick or any rock, a plaster with an aged effect can be a great alternative. But each of them should reflect the village motives.

Rustic floor

The plank is the ideal floor for a rustic style, and the longer the plank, the better. Indeed, in most of the villages in the world, the floors are made of natural, long edged planks.

In an urban kitchen, the most suitable flooring will be a high-quality laminate with a decor that matches such a board. Manufacturers of these floors today can reproduce the look that is 100% true to natural wood. Therefore suitable option not hard to find. The important advantages of such floors include quite high degree wear resistance. The rustic style is characterized by the presence of old worn things, and so for floors in this case you can find a laminate imitating the surface of a painted and worn board.

If the kitchen is designed in the style of a chalet or Provence, then in this case, tiles can be laid on the floor under a stone.

How to decorate the ceiling in the kitchen

It is not necessary to upholster it with boards and then paint it with paint, unless you want to convey 100% rustic atmosphere in your kitchen.

It should be said that only that which reflects it in the best way is selected from the rustic style, while the aesthetics of the interior should not suffer. Therefore, it is not old shabby things and materials that are chosen for its design in a city apartment, but their imitation.

For the ceiling, you can use the same material as for the floor - laminate. The plank ceiling is perhaps even more common in the villages of the world than the floor. After all, where there are stone floors - the ceiling is still wooden!

Often, some boards on the ceiling are not enough; to heighten the effect, wooden beams are mounted on the ceiling. Actually, they may not be completely wooden; today you can find many imitations of them from polyurethane on sale. They come in different thicknesses, colors, etc. However, they should be used only if your ceilings are of sufficient height. Not infrequently, designers use them in the same way for the purpose of visually lowering the ceiling if it is excessively high.

Rustic kitchen windows

Simple curtains made of natural fabric are the perfect solution for rustic windows. It is typical for the Provence style that the curtains on the kitchen windows have a floral or checkered pattern. Hanging on rings on a wooden curtain, they will emphasize the simplicity and non-intricacy of the rustic style.

Rustic kitchen photo

It is not necessary that they hang from the ceiling to the very floor, for such styles, very often short curtains are characteristic, hiding only the window opening itself.

Furniture and accessories

All kitchen furniture should be wood, no plastic, chrome-plated metal and a moderate amount of glass. It is rare to find such vibrant elements in the village. Practicality and simplicity are more characteristic of it than aesthetics and high cost. Therefore, ordinary wooden chairs or stools and the same table are chosen for the kitchen. At the same time, the table can be decorated with a hand-embroidered tablecloth. It will look beautiful if the fabric of the tablecloth has the same decor as the curtains - a checkered or colorful fabric will express the simplicity and closeness to the nature of village life.

Kitchen decoration in a rustic apartment

The kitchen set itself should not have the metallic colors of modern high-tech, therefore it should be visible in it household appliances: refrigerator, dishwashers. microwave ovens, etc. The less civilization, the better. Therefore, a rustic kitchen will better reflect the idea if you use built-in kitchen appliances for it. A kitchen facade is installed on such a technique (on the sash), behind which it will hide. This will allow the entire set and the kitchen as a whole to be kept in a single rustic style.

Rustic kitchen photo

It will be better if the kitchen set will have a predominantly wooden finish, in fact, the main elements of any set are facades, a countertop and an apron.

Facades for domestic village kitchens are most often made with the participation of oak, ash, maple, elm. Both solid facades and glazed facades are allowed.

A country house can be harmonious in the interior and exterior of the place where it is located. This means that the aesthetics of country style in its various variations are often the choice of home owners. But it is not at all necessary to follow exclusively this style, just as it is not necessary to consider only Slavic variations if there is a stove in the house.

One of the most expressive rooms in the house is the kitchen, and often repairs begin with it.

Features of the rural style (country)

Of course, equipping a house in a village, a dwelling outside the city or a country house in a rural style is an option that is much more common than transforming a city apartment. In this case, a harmonious union occurs.

A rustic kitchen will have the following features:

• finishing of premises does without unnecessary details;
• finishing materials only natural (or preferably natural);
• pieces of furniture, as a rule, simple, decorated independently or imitating hand-made decoration;
• shades and colors are natural, natural;
• must feel handmade in the interior;
• textiles in the design of such a kitchen should also have a rich representation.

But the village, you see, can also be different. And a small village in central Russia, and a Provencal province, and a place near the Alps - all this is a village, but how different the design of its houses can be. The features of the area where the house is located will certainly affect the option for its arrangement.

For example, if you live in a wooden house made of timber and logs, then a country-style kitchen, shabby chic, rustic, or Provencal variation will look organic. But the most related option is the style of the Russian dacha, which is in no way inferior to the directions listed above.

If you are decorating a kitchen in a so-called siding house, then the Scandinavian rustic interior can be your inspiration. Or, for example, a simplified American classic style will also be in tune with the exterior.

If the house is next to a body of water, take a look at the Mediterranean style, Provencal, nautical or even beach style.

Kitchen space with oven

If the kitchen has a stove, it dictates its own design decisions. And it is not even so important whether the oven is in working order.

The requirements for a kitchen with a stove include several points.

• Ceiling. Suspended structures can also be used, but natural ones will definitely be more advantageous. Cover the log cabins with a protective varnish layer. Stretch ceiling or wallpaper has no practicality, since couples and heat from the oven will quickly spoil the appearance and functionality of such a finish.

• Walls. More often, the owners are inclined towards the option of a block house or lining. Natural wood trim is absolutely environmentally friendly, it is organic for the building itself. To prolong the life of the tree, it must be treated with an antiseptic composition and a protective coating.

• Floor. Ceramic tiles will be durable and most stable. But laminate and parquet flooring can only be used for the dining area or recreation area, but not in the sector where the oven is located and food is actively prepared.

The stove does not have to be white: its design depends entirely on the preferences of the owners. It can be overlaid with stone or tiles, making it so that it is not an alien element of the interior.

In modern conditions, an imitation of a stove or a fireplace stove is more often used. If you have a Russian stove in your house, you can whitewash it and even paint it.

But such a clear interior accent should be accompanied by other elements - surface finishing, dining area, set, textile decor.

Economy option

Often the initial data looks like this: there is a kitchen in a country house and a very modest budget. But to arrange it beautifully and convincingly does not always mean serious spending.

There are at least 10 budget kitchen ideas.

• Old buffet. Buffets are back in fashion again. And if such a self-sufficient, beautiful and noble element appears in the space, faceless kitchen cabinets against its background seem too simple and already out of place. Think maybe you can do without them. A sink in a wooden case, which you can quickly do with your own hands, with a cheerful rustic curtain is all that the headset could represent. Instead, there will now be a roomy sideboard in a pleasant shade, always with a countertop that will replace the work surface.

• Open shelves. If it's time to say goodbye to an old headset, consider open storage. The shelves above the cabinets look very authentic. We'll have to think about in what containers and jars to store bulk and everything else. But due to such jars and a small appropriate decor, you can create an interior of a rural kitchen, where everything is open to the eye and everything is at hand.

The more natural and rougher its texture, the more weighty it will look in the interior. By the way, many products on Instagram sell best like wooden photo backgrounds. And not only in country style, such tables are appropriate.

• Bench at the table. The dining table usually has chairs, stools or a corner sofa. But in a rustic kitchen, a bench with handles also looks good. It can be painted in any color you like, not necessarily matching anything in the interior. Just be sure to lay out some cushions on the bench for seating comfort.

• Wooden shelving. If there is space and functionality for them, they are able to make the kitchen cozy. Wooden shelving can be painted or unpainted.
