Creating a Warm and Welcoming Rustic Kitchen

Creating a Warm and Welcoming Rustic Kitchen

When you think of warm, cosy interiors, you often think of the living and dining areas. With the kitchen being one of the most used rooms in the home, it’s not just as important to ensure that this space is warm and welcoming, like the rest of your home. Introducing a rustic design to your kitchen is perfect for enhancing the décor and creating that cosy feel you want to achieve, whilst keeping your décor style trendy and stylish. There are lots of staple design features that can help to create the perfect rustic feel, and combining them all together creates a stunning aesthetic for your kitchen.

Bold Flooring Options

The flooring within your kitchen is a really important feature to think about, especially when it comes to creating a rustic style interior. The main aim with your flooring is to introduce a material that is both durable and bold, as rustic décor combines deep, rich tones with bold materials to create a warm and cosy feel. The most popular flooring options for rustic kitchens are wooden flooring and stone. Whilst these may be two very different materials, they both bring a dramatic element to the room and have beautiful detailing. Wooden flooring is ideal for those who want to create a warm feel and enhance the wooden feel of the room, whereas, stone flooring works best for those who want to introduce rugs to the room, whilst breaking up the wooden theme and adding a bolder touch to the décor.






Warm Lighting Choices
Having a warm lighting balance throughout the kitchen is essential for achieving a rustic feel. Firstly, you are able to lift the atmosphere within the room and make it feel cosier, whilst the lighting highlights certain elements of the décor and creates an inviting feel. Using yellow-toned lighting help to create that warm, cosy feel that will run throughout the kitchen. rustic oak You will also find that this style of lighting is perfect when reflecting off your wooden surfaces and other rustic oak furniture pieces.

Similarly, introducing candles really helps to enhance the rustic feel and make the room feel really welcoming and homely.
Oak Kitchen Units
One of the most popular features within a rustic style kitchen is the oak units. Introducing oak to a rustic décor style is always going to go smoothly, as oak is one of the most popular materials when it comes to this décor style. Oak has an aesthetic that brings life and character to any room, whilst introducing a cosy feel at the same time. Using this material for your units, which take up a very large proportion of your kitchen, works perfectly to achieve that balance of style and character. You will also find that oak kitchen units are really easy to accessories and work with, as so many different colours and materials work well and complement the oak well.
Rustic Detailing
There are a number of different ways in which you can add rustic touches to your kitchen, from the furniture pieces to the accessories you add to the countertops, so you need to shop around and see what you like from the choices you are given. From iron drop handles for the cupboards and drawers, to lighter oak chopping boards and wine racks, you can find all kinds of beautiful décor touches that will bring your kitchen to life and introduce a really rustic feel.
