From cooking delicious meals to creating an inviting space to talk and mingle, the kitchen is a communal space that everyone gravitates toward. Designing a rustic-styled interior elevates the ambiance by bringing in the warmth and coziness of country living. If you’ve always wanted a home renovation project that includes transforming your kitchen into a rustic oasis, here are several ideas to consider. 

How to Design a Rustic Kitchen

1. Cabinets

While wood is the go-to favorite for cabinets, there are many colors and textures to choose from. You can opt for natural choices such as maple, oak, hickory or pecan, which can instantly create a more rustic decor. Wood can also be colored or stained so that the result still delivers a more country-inspired aesthetic. From reds and greens to various shades of browns and grays, a home renovation specialist can help you decide if you’re not sure. 

2. Lighting Fixtures

Traditional rustic kitchens incorporate simple, yet charming lighting fixtures. Consider lighting structures that accent but don’t overwhelm the space. Fixtures that subtly hang over an island on near cabinets create a welcoming appeal. Antique chandeliers can also extend a kitchen’s rustic decor. Depending on the overall design, lanterns could provide a similar effect as well. 

3. Backsplash

Red brick, creamy white tiles, and cornflower blue squares are just a few of the many backsplash choices to include in your kitchen remodel. The key to this home renovation project is to go with a design option that achieves a rustic balance with cabinets, appliances, and other features in your kitchen. Combine blues with whites, greens with browns, and sunset oranges with reds to maintain a color balance.
