In recent years there has been a big shift in kitchen design towards sleek, minimalist and modern kitchens. These tend to be made of cool materials like metal, glass, and granite. Although they may look fantastic, they lack the country charm that other types of cuisine have.
There are many people who really do not like this modern style kitchen and as a result this has led to a resurgence in popularity of country style kitchen furniture.
This type of kitchen tends to be made with a variety of natural materials, mainly solid woods. These come in a wide range of styles, colors, and grains, and they give a kitchen a really warm, homey feel. This is perfect for a friendly family kitchen where people can enjoy sitting around chatting in the warmth of the stove.
You can remodel your kitchen in a rustic style no matter what your budget is. At the higher end of the market there are some really expensive, but absolutely beautiful pieces of furniture. This is made from high quality solid woods, sometimes with a rustic and ‘worn’ texture to add an authentic effect.
For those of us with a more modest budget, there is a fantastic range of budget units. You can even repair your existing cabinets, which means replacing visible surfaces like doors and handles, but keeping the casings the same.
Country kitchens tend to be very durable and will last you for many years. In fact, they even get better over time as their materials wear down a bit, giving it a lovely smooth, rough-edged look that really suits the style well.
