This lovely house is a great example of a kitchen that strikes a balance between these two approaches. The designer kept things simple with a palette centered around the beautiful natural color of oak, but kicked things up a notch through beautiful carved detailing over the gas range. They amplified the design with touches of country kitchen decor scattered throughout the space, like a charming clock, heirloom cookbooks and vintage textiles.

Scouting for country decorating ideas made me learn to balance fresh air, soft lights and space for my dining room design. My colors were simple but used rich tones of chocolate, ivory, pearl, beige and light olive. A large, u-shaped, marble-topped table occupied much of the room, but I balanced the heaviness with light, modern, multipurpose, cushioned metallic chairs that captured the elegant charm and character of French country decor. I opted for practical glass shelf doors and steel furniture as well as appliances that reflected lights and colours over wooden flooring, offset by tall, dark, wooden cabinets. A wall painting, simple designs on the tables sides and an assortment of bright flowers in the center gave the room a natural, yet minimalist touch, in the style of country kitchen decor. A faucet on another end of the table and practical electrical appliances on side-tops made the room look homely.

I have been browsing the internet in hope to find some inspirational country kitchen ideas since I am planning to renovate my home. It didnt take long until I saw a photo with amazing farmhouse kitchen decor. Identically to what I was looking for, this kitchen breathes a homely, yet sophisticated atmosphere. The elements are made of hard wood with fine, classic lines that always have the tendency to make me appreciate the craftsmanship even more. This country kitchen decor combines warm colors of the walls, flooring, and furniture and finishes with a glamorous chandelier above the kitchen table. The only modern-looking appliance in this kitchen is the stove that differentiates in color and design. The surfaces of the kitchen elements consist of a bright marble and glass, completing the extraordinary, old-fashioned style that never fails to impress people with fine taste.

Remodeling is a hobby that I enjoy. It is something about rearranging different elements to become something that is easy on the eyes. I saw this beautiful picture of this French country kitchen that has now inspired me for a new project for my home. The antique artifacts on the wall remind me of how precious the little things can bring a sense of essence and distinction to a room. These beautiful country kitchen ideas gave me so many creative plans, especially when I saw the fire place that was right in the middle of the design. I would love to get creative and figure out a way to cook my cornbread in my cast-iron skillet. I mean the country kitchen decor complemented with an open floor plan makes any feel cozy and welcomed when entering. I cannot wait to get started on this remodeling project, running it by my husband should be fun.

When we were purchasing our newest vacation home in the Blue Ridge Mountains, I knew that I wanted a property that would make us feel completely immersed in the landscape and one that featured primitive country decor so different from our downtown property. This gorgeous home did just that. My favorite room in the house is this fabulous kitchen filled to the brim with exposed brick and gorgeous varnished pine. This country style kitchen makes you feel as though you stepped back into time in the days when you had to hunt and forage for your own food then prepare it over a roaring hearth. I love how the designer managed to combine every modern amenity a home chef would need (and more!) along classic elements found in period kitchens from hundreds of years ago. I have had so much fun adding our own touches and bits of country kitchen decor like the antique earthenware containers and family antiques hung on the walls. It truly makes the space feel so homey and warm.

When you think rustic kitchen decor you do not often picture it housed within an edgy contemporary design, but this home offers just that. Our client asked us to design a space that was in keeping with the surrounding landscape of their sprawling Montana ranch, but that still felt modern and even industrial. At first this seemed like an impossible and unnatural task, but the more we immersed ourselves in the design, the more I grew to absolutely love the idea. We swapped your traditional country kitchen cabinets with a more stylistically neutral shaker variety. Carrying this theme, we decided to take your classic rustic kitchen decor features like exposed wood beams and heavily paneled cabinetry and completely turned it around. Rather than adding beams to the ceiling, we mounted a long piece of barn wood along the wall that housed the major kitchen appliances. It served as almost a faux hood over everything and portioned off the space. This quintessential country kitchen decor piece was accent by sleek stainless steel countertops, a Wolfe range, and open shelving.
