Country Kitchen Ideas - Part 3

 Country Charm

At its best, country style brings warmth and personality to whatever it touches. This kitchen shows how material choices achieve the effect: the mix of cabinet colors, plenty of texture thanks to all of the stone, and collections on display make this kitchen feel lived in and personal.

 Embellished Country Cabinetry
Details can elevate a good design to great. If you like this look, try adding decorative feet to your island or removing cabinet doors to create a more open look. Beaded board has big impact in creating a country kitchen, even in small doses.



 Crowd-Pleasing Country

Smart planning divides this large kitchen into functional and convenient work zones. Add a sink to a kitchen island, such as this one, to create a separate work and cleanup space. With two islands, there can be more than one cook in the kitchen -- without one crowding the other.

Country Kitchen Ideas - Part 2

 Oversize Country-Style Island
The casual style of cottage kitchens encourages everyone to pull up a stool and make themselves at home. This roomy island offers plenty of seating, so family members can join the cook in the kitchen without getting in the way. It also doubles as a place to organize shopping lists or help with homework.

 Traditional Country

A blend of Shaker and farmhouse traditions, this kitchen features a big farmhouse sink and furniture-style cabinetry painted white. The wall of glass-front cabinets and two big windows over the sink help the kitchen feel airy. Not covered in heavy window treatments, sunlight has no trouble streaming in through the windows of this kitchen.

 Countryside French

Cabinets with differing heights and finishes suggest the kitchen evolved over time, which is what drew the homeowners to the country French style. By scouring antiques shops and thrift stores, the homeowners collected old doors, shutters, and the plaster piece that now takes center stage on the range hood.

Country Kitchen Ideas

Kitchen designs come in many different forms, but country designs keep comfort and casual living in mind.

 A Mismatched Moment

Charmingly mismatched elements held together by a vintage theme give this kitchen a look that appears to have evolved over time. Colors were chosen with historical authenticity in mind and the use of wood, furniturelike islands grounds the light blue and white cabinets and feminine wallpaper accent wall.


Simple Country Style

These homeowners wanted a simple kitchen to match their casual lifestyle and allow them to spend time there with family and friends. The island's large countertop and a nearby table make the kitchen a casual gathering spot and family command center.


Charming Country Cabinets

While there's plenty to admire in this charming kitchen, the open shelving along the long wall might the brightest idea of all. The beaded board behind the shelves adds another dose of country charm, while the open shelves allow the homeowner to put pretty dishes on display.

Before & After Kitchen Renovations: Country Kitchens - Part 6

 Unique Work Space
Trading a bulky built-in island for a compact Chinese table leaves more room for maneuvering in this small kitchen while still offering an efficient work space. Entertaining is easy in the well-outfitted room that includes a full-size freezer, a high-Btu cooktop, two dishwashers, and a wine cooler.

Creative Kitchen Renovation

On the island and backsplash, wood panels mimic the grooves of vintage beaded-board planks but are easier to install. After thorough preparation, the original cabinets received two coats of durable, easy-to-clean enamel paint. An antique English peg rack on the island is a handy repository for dish towels.

 Budget-Friendly Kitchen
Country kitchens are defined by cheerful splashes of color. Here, red coupled with country accents warmed the bland white kitchen for less than $2,000. Other simple, inexpensive changes -- including wallpaper and new glass-front cabinet doors -- fostered the transition from sterile to stellar.

The highlight of this kitchen-remodeling project, the new island features a top made of wood from an old farm table. A stainless-steel oven and range hood add a modern twist to the country-style space, and glass jars that store kitchen essentials double as design accents.

 Cream-Color Kitchen

The first step of this kitchen makeover was painting the cabinets, soffits, and walls. The outdated blue-and-white tile backsplash was covered with beaded-board wainscoting, and a new coat of white paint and patterned cushions transformed inexpensive barstools.

 Farm-Flavor Kitchen

New cabinets, countertops, and floors reflect a relaxed, farm-flavor style. White cabinets and trim maximize the light reflecting from the new, larger sink window. Beaded board covers the backsplashes between the sink and range, and mottled granite on the island unites the kitchen's colors.

 Improved Kitchen Design

For an improved layout, the existing kitchen in this 1920s Arts and Crafts-style bungalow was combined with an adjacent powder room and mudroom. A center island and a wall of cabinetry with two full-size farmhouse sinks make the plan work for two serious cooks and their guests.

Before & After Kitchen Renovations: Country Kitchens

With farmhouse details and charming architectural elements, these kitchen designs showcase the best of country style.

Colorful Kitchen Makeover

Before the renovation, this kitchen was perfectly functional -- but perfectly boring. Gingham wallpaper jump-started the cottage-style makeover, while new glass-front cabinet doors, updated trim, and pretty fabrics kept the momentum going. Bold bursts of color and beaded-board detailing complete the look.

Tip No. 2. Trick out your island. Built-in appliances -- warming drawers, dishwashers, microwave drawers -- boost function in the main work core, while customized storage keeps clutter at bay.



 Create a Custom Contemporary Look

Tip No. 3. Make a statement with tile. Colorful rectilinear tiles are distinctly modern, particularly when paired with a sleek chimney-style range hood.

 Create a Custom Contemporary Look

Tip No. 4. Splurge on pro-style appliances. If you have a sizeable budget, consider customizing a standard range or cooktop with special features, such as a built-in griddle, wok burner, or steamer.

One Kitchen, Two Budgets: Contemporary Style - Part 2

 Create Contemporary Style on a Budget

Tip No. 2. Mix countertop materials to add visual interest. For example, choose stone or laminate for the perimeter countertops and butcher-block for the island or play with light and dark tones of the same material.

Create Contemporary Style on a Budget

Tip No. 3. Have fun with the backsplash. Basic white subway tile is a safe choice, but smaller-format tiles or an eye-catching mosaic adds instant personality.

 Create Contemporary Style on a Budget

Tip No. 4: Patterned fabric for the window treatments personalizes your kitchen and can easily be switched out down the road. Bold, geometric patterns work well in a contemporary space.
