What are the effective design ideas for small rustic kitchens?
So, how can you create the perfect rustic kitchen, in a small space? Well, there are several things you can do, including:
- Creating a visual feature in the rustic style- while you might not fit the big family table into the small kitchen, you should still opt for other design features like the apron sink and timber, or timber effect cabinets and worktops. This will really be the basis of your kitchen design.
- Using light colours- rustic kitchens tend to use a lot of natural materials. And this can be effective in a small space, as long as you stick to the light end of the colour scheme. For example, you could opt for beige and creams instead of deep mahogany and browns. And if you want to throw in a slice of colour, that can be very effective too. Just make sure you choose pastel colours and light shades, rather than deep rich colours. A lighter colour scheme will help your small space feel larger than it really is.
- Choosing rustic style finishings- unlike contemporary kitchens, rustic kitchens can enjoy some detail. This includes cabinet door handles with embellishments, as well as cabinet trimmings with design detail. These can be very impactful in a small rustic kitchen, and can emphasise your design choices all round.
