If you have a country or rustic property, you might not think a modern kitchen can be a good fit. But this isn’t the case. In fact, a modern kitchen can be the perfect addition to your country home, as long some considerations are taken into account, and a few tweaks and changes made. So what are the considerations for modern kitchen design for country homes?
What are the considerations for modern kitchen design for country homes?
To make sure your modern kitchen has the right feel, tone and design for your country home, you should consider:
- Using natural materials- if you have exposed beams, or real solid flooring in your home, this is something you should keep in your kitchen. Natural features work really well with modern kitchens, and this will create a nice flow to your space overall. You can also emphasize this by using natural effect tiles, or worktops that use timber or natural stone to create a key visual feature.
- Adding a country twist to a modern kitchen- if you opt for modern kitchen cabinets and fixtures, why not give these a country style tweak? Using cabinet door handles made of natural metals, like copper or brass, can combine the two styles very effectively. And for the kitchen sink, a copper or ceramic style apron or farmhouse sink will definitely not look out of place in this style of kitchen. Tweaking the two styles together in such a way can help to create a unique and highly personal space for your home.
- Open plan design- if possible, try and make your modern/country kitchen a open plan space. Of course, this wont be possible for some properties, but in a country home, the kitchen is often the heart of the property, with space for seating as well as food preparation and cooking.
