Elements of Country Kitchens
The country style has achieved to get into the cooking space of the house, as well. Through small, yet significant elements or through the eating dishes and plates, the country kitchens are more welcoming and defining better the place used for household activities. Country kitchens must be gifted with iron, surfaces, roughness and ornamental plates.
The country kitchens usually have laminate hardwood flooring, sometimes with various installations, like snap glue or lock together pieces. The cupboards can be in honey, olive or warm greens, sometimes scrunched and roughly painted, to emphasize the rustic look. The shelves and buffets are of ceramic tile, or often crammed with transparent or colored glass jars, stoneware pots and ceramic plates, which can also be displayed on the walls as art objects. The sugar, coffee or flour canisters, usually matched and in consecutive dimensions, have fruits or vegetables painted on them.
Country kitchens are also equipped with a range of metals, from which the most important is the cast or wrought iron, an element borrowed form the French country style. Wrought iron, used many times for kitchen faucets, curtain rods, curtain tie backs and swaq holders should coordinate with the iron or copper pots and the antique dinnerware collections, which can be displayed on the cooking table in special supports. Other small items that make the country look are the paper towel holders, napkin and key holders key holders, wall hooks, pie and wine racks.
The plates can also be displayed on the open shelves, made of aged surfaces and natural materials. The eating dishes should be manually painted, large and flat. As country kitchens are too informal for paintings on the walls, the rustic posters have recently been adopted; these are paintings in various styles, from impressionist to stylized art, all full of brown nuances. The fabrics used in different cooking items or decor objects are usually made of rough cloth. The valances curtains, towels, table runners and pot holders are appliquéd or quit-looking, with squares or rhombuses on white surfaces. Country kitchens' walls should be painted in warm, earthy tones: desert sand, rice cake or cappuccino. Another option is to paint one wall in a different, darker color, like chocolate. Hanging towels and cooking tissues on that wall create a nice optic effect. The fruits and vegetables shouldn't miss from country kitchens, as these describe best the rural and welcoming space.
