Country style kitchens are warm and welcoming, with
light and/or bright colors, painted and glazed cabinets, woven baskets, and
decorative shelving and molding.
There are several different variations to the country style kitchen-
English, French, American, etc., but the prevailing element to this style is
the comfort that this environment creates. Kitchen cabinets often feature painted and glazed finishes,
and it is also popular to distress the cabinet finish. Cabinet door styles often feature
raised or recessed panels. Glass
or open cabinet shelves are also popular as a way to display colorful dishes,
making the inside of the cabinets part of the décor. A butcher block or hand-painted tiles are ways to create
visual interest in this style kitchen.
Antiques and flea-market finds enhance a country kitchen’s unique
personality.
