Perhaps you reside in the countryside and have always wanted your home, and in particular, your kitchen, to match the outdoor views and atmosphere surrounding you?

Alternatively, maybe you grew up in a more rural area and are now living in the heart of the city, desperate to recreate those sentimental and treasured childhood memories of cooking at home with your parents.

Regardless of your individual motivations, if you are looking for tips on how to design and decorate your kitchen in the style of a country farmhouse, then you have clicked on the right article.

Incorporate Rustic Elements

Even if you are struggling in the planning stages of your newly proposed county kitchen aesthetic, you will no doubt already be aware that silver-colored metals (aside from the pots and pans) have absolutely no place in such a blueprint.

Instead, try and incorporate as many natural, rustic and earthy elements as possible, from exposed wooden beams (should you be lucky enough to have them already), to smaller details such as chopping boards and utensils made entirely from repurposed dark wood.

A Butler Sink

One of, if not the, most associative element of a country house kitchen which is entirely in-keeping with the style is a butler sink, which will convey a vintage ambience throughout the space.

Contact reputable and prominent kitchen (and bathroom) suppliers at nonpareilsolutions.co.uk for stunning, yet affordable, elements to transform a simple, modern kitchen into a functional vintage wonderland, perfect for a country farmhouse.

A Welcoming Kitchen Island

Farmhouse kitchens are built around love and family, and as such, your new kitchen should encompass as many elements as possible that encourage socializing, both with your children and yourself, and also for a more romantic evening with you and your partner.

A freestanding kitchen island is the ideal way to achieve this and as well leaning into your desired country vibes, an island will also benefit you by:

• Much more available storage
• A designated cooking and preparation space
• Casual seating options
• A place to add personalization and your own touch to the space

Shaker Cabinets

In the same way as butler sinks are an iconic feature of a country farmhouse kitchen, so too are shaker cabinets.

Essentially, shaker cabinets epitomize everything that is strong, durable, sturdy, and practical without being over-flashy or too ostentatious. Once your new shaker cabinets are in position, it would be perfectly acceptable to look for the right shades and tones of paint to elevate the loo and allow them to stand out from the background.

Freestanding Kitchen Appliances

Finally, the trick to creating the details necessary to convey an ambience of countryside chic in the kitchen is to strike the incredibly fine balance between making the area look homely, without being too cluttered.

One effective way to do just that is to trade in your current appliances for freestanding, larger and generally more wholesome alternatives, remembering to not purchase anything possessing a metal base and instead looking for wooden finishes.
