The term rustic means related to the country or countryside. Traditionally, rustic cabinets and furniture are made from natural woods, aged surfaces or rough finishes. Rustic kitchens designs and rustic kitchens styles take us back to a simpler life, in fact, to a simpler time.

Terracotta flooring tiles, wood floors, flagstone flooring, painted wood floors, brick, concrete floors, ceramic tiles and handpainted tiles for rustic kitchen decorative wall tile coverings are all associated with rustic kitchen styles.

Another element associated with rustic kitchens designs is cabinets against plaster walls finished very smoothly but sometimes left rough. If you are going to use a rough finish on the walls, make sure you use a matte finish or a satin paint finish for a more country look.

Rustic country styles should be simple, plain, perhaps with chips and scratches with round pine knobs. Furniture and cabinets can be hand-carved with woods like oak, maple, cherry, pine, hickory, walnut and exotic woods. Knotty wood cabinets with panelled doors or glass doors plus free standing furniture are typical of this style.

Kitchen cabinets and furniture made of pine, or even painted, can be a beautiful key element for having a country style space. Soft colored walls, antique-looking lighting and wooden antiques or antique reproduction cabinets can help give your room a calm and elegant atmosphere.

If you want to paint your walls or your kitchen cabinets, the colors associated with rustic country kitchens are yellow, celery green, tones of blue, antique white, grays, antique reds, watermelon red, cranberry red and any bright and happy colors you may like. Colors associated with nature, fruits and vegetables are commonly used in country kitchens.

Open shelving in the kitchen is associated with a country look. Cupboards, wall hung shelves, hutches, chests, armoire, baker's racks and plate racks in the country kitchen can be an attractive showcase for your colorful daily dishes or decorative kitchenware, containers, glassware, teacups and bowls. It also will add extra storage space.

A mixture of unmatched china can give the kitchen a rustic look. Floral, check, patchwork and stripe patterns and candle holders remind us of rustic country-style life.
