What makes a country style kitchen?

Transform your kitchen into a timeless country-style masterpiece

Go retro with a country kitchen. Timeless and Rustic, a country kitchen can impart a completely different look to your home. Especially if you want to add the charisma of the good ol' days to your home.

Luckily you don’t need a lot to transform your kitchen. Vintage signage, pastel colours, antiques or wooden furniture are enough to get started on this project. These can establish the farmhouse look without the hefty price tag. Add a traditional range cooker, timber flooring or a farmhouse sink as you go to get the complete look. You can also mix and match different décor elements to suit your personal taste and budget.

Elements of a Country-Style Kitchen

A country kitchen or farmers' kitchen strikes a balance between old-style grandeur and modern charm. Renovating a kitchen can be full-on but you can achieve the same look by repurposing furniture from your shed or buying antique pieces for a pared-back style. Whether you live in a penthouse, a suburban house or an idyllic country house, a farmer's kitchen can be adapted anywhere.

Traditional Range Cooker

A country kitchen is incomplete without a traditional range cooker. Whether you choose one with a splash of colour or earth-toned neutrals, a range cooker can be the focal point of your kitchen. And the fact that you can cook multiple dishes doesn’t hurt either.

Traditional Butler or Apron sink

A quintessential feature of a country kitchen is a traditional butler or apron sink. Beautiful and spacious, it is a distinctive element of a country kitchen. Add a vintage-looking tap to add a funky twist to the space.

Industrial Décor

Exposed beams, concrete countertop or flooring and caged lighting can lend a raw utilitarian look to your kitchen. Use antique wooden or metal pieces, rustic bar stools and copper cookware to create a charming country kitchen. The decorating possibilities are endless and you can use just about anything to create a retro kitchen.

Wooden Cabinets and Shelving

Use reclaimed wooden furniture, timber benchtops and open shelves to pull off a classic country-looking kitchen. Display your crock collection, pots and pans, and mason jars on open shelves to complete a visually appealing country kitchen.

Neutral Colours

Neutral colours can blend with the industrial and wooden decor of your kitchen. It will add a warming effect to your kitchen. Don’t forget to put some vintage signs, fresh flowers and retro appliances to create an eclectic kitchen.
