Kitchens today are no longer what they once were: areas of the home that were only entered for the purpose of preparing meals. Back in the day, people didn't concern themselves with decorative details or innovative designs. But nowadays, it's an entirely different story, because of how we've grown as a society. Kitchens are now not only places to cook, but places to congregate for study or family time, and as new social areas, we like to decorate them to our personal tastes and marvel at them.

We want to show you a particularly wonderful kitchen design that supports and flaunts family gatherings and warm atmospheres, and that style is none other than rustic. The rustic style preserves traditional character and spirit, but adds a modern aesthetic twist, and today, we bring you eight examples of rustic kitchens that prove this sentiment without a doubt.

So, let's dive in!

1. Everything in view

One of the secrets of the rustic kitchen is a lively and fresh, open space. Hanging pots and pans above the kitchen island helps to free up counter and cupboard space, and if your accessories are copper, even better, as these reinforce that traditional country setting. 

Just looking at this kitchen, we can smell grandma baking her famous apple pie!

2. Brick contributions

Wood isn't the only protagonist in the rustic kitchen–brick is a great contribution that enriches the atmosphere and turns the simple and naked natural materials into a cosy and warm space. Brick adds texture and variety that many other materials can't match up to.

3. No limit on style

There is no limit for the amount of wood you can or should use in a rustic kitchen. Perhaps it can seem a bit exaggerated, but the use of this noble material will bring a warmth that no other material can offer. 

You can buy it in a variety of different shades to suit your personal tastes, and you can mix and match different wood styles, grains, and finishes for touches of vintage flair, as well.

4. Painting the walls

In this rustic kitchen, green was used on one of the walls to add an extra natural touch to balance out the wood and brick elements. Earth tones are the best shades to complement the rustic design scheme and they blend perfectly with the simple materials. 

5. Old styles prevail

Rustic kitchens can be tributes to the past with the addition of historical pieces like this wood stove we see here. It only takes one wood burning stove to heat the entire home, so they're not just a decorative element, but an incredibly functional one, as well.We just love how the antique-looking iron doors create a rigid yet pleasing aesthetic!

6. How could we forget wicker?

Another quintessential rustic kitchen design material is wicker. This natural fibre contributes to the classic and quiet vibe. You can bring wicker into your rustic kitchen with baskets, chairs, drawers, or even a few pieces of unique artwork.

7. Look at those countertops

Countertops are an essential element in any kitchen, but in the rustic kitchen, it is necessary that the material has a strong presence. Wood can be a favourite here because it has a thick and durable appearance and quality. However, stone or mosaics are also lovely contributions to this type of space where simple and pure surfaces prevail.

8. Light is necessary

We leave you with this one last tidbit of info for the perfect rustic kitchen. Natural lighting plays a vital role in the setting of rustic kitchens. But natural light isn't the only light element that can be used. Light coloured materials, textures, and shapes will add that warm touch and cool where necessary to create the perfect, homey balance. Every element we mentioned in this article is there to maximise the rustic design scheme.
