Creating a country-style kitchen in an urban city apartment or beachside house can add warmth and comfort to your home. Here at DarlingJames we are passionate about creating a comfortable and stylish home and we believe there is nothing more appealing than a warm country kitchen.
Here are some tips to help you achieve this look:
-
Choose warm and natural materials: look for wood and stone finishes, such as butcher block countertops, wooden cabinets, wooden chopping boards, and stone flooring, to add a rustic touch to your kitchen.
-
Add some vintage elements: Incorporate vintage or antique pieces, such as a rustic farmhouse table, vintage china or silverware, or an old-fashioned range, to add some character to your kitchen.
-
Use natural and earthy colours: Stick to natural colours such as earth tones, whites, green hues and neutrals to give your kitchen a cosy and inviting feel.
-
Choose open shelving: Replace upper cabinets with open shelving to display your dishes, cookbooks, and other kitchen items. You can also choose kitchen cabinetry with glass doors. This will give your kitchen a more airy and spacious feel.
-
Incorporate farmhouse-style lighting: Hang pendant lights above the kitchen island or table to give your kitchen a warm and inviting glow.
-
Use rustic decor: pick up a few unique rustic items from the DarlingJames store, like wooden signs, woven baskets, and vintage pottery to complete the country-style look.
-
Bring the outside inside: Add some greenery, such as potted herbs or flowers or a small indoor plant to bring some life and freshness to your kitchen.
Not all of us are fortunate enough to live in a gorgeous homestead on a country property, however there are easy and practical ways you can create a country-style kitchen in an urban city home.
