Designing a rustic kitchen
A rustic kitchen is designed with natural materials in mind. With warm, welcoming wood, and natural tones and features. As a result, when designing a rustic kitchen, you should consider:
- ways to make a welcoming space
- design choices
- storage and practicalities
Welcoming
In a rustic kitchen, the main feature is often the dining space or table. This is because the kitchen is geared around social eating, and relaxing. The rustic kitchen is designed not just to be a place to cook and prepare food, but to also be a relaxing and comforting room in the home. Perfect for finishing off those emails, helping children with homework, or eating meals together.
Design choices
To help the kitchen feel warm and welcoming, you might want to consider natural materials. Timber and wood in particular are fantastic options for creating a warm, welcoming space. And when you pair this with warm tiles or paintwork, you can create a stylish and attractive kitchen.
Storage and practicalities
While a rustic kitchen is designed to be a room that can be enjoyed and useful to relax in, it should also be a practical and usable kitchen space. This means that there should be adequate storage. You could even consider adding a kitchen island for more storage solutions.
In addition, there should be nothing in between the space between the sink, the oven and the fridge. As these three points are the most used places in the kitchen. And being able to move freely between these is an essential practical consideration.
