Bonjour and welcome to our Art of the Home gallery of charming country kitchen designs! We hand-picked them just for you…hope you enjoy the visit!
You can tell when you enter a country kitchen. Country kitchen designs are lived-in with love. They marry, in a oh so charming way, functionality and rustic touches. No country kitchen is ever the same because it brings in sentimental pieces that are unique to its owner. There are many flooring options as well. You can opt for tumbled tiles to give your kitchen floor an aged look (porcelain or travertine for example) or opt for reclaimed wide wood planks if you love kitchens with hardwood floors. As far as storage and pantry options go, it’s not uncommon to find an antique armoire or commode re-purposed as a pantry or storage cabinet happily enjoying a new life in a country kitchen.
Country kitchen designs come from all over the world — France, Italy, England, the US and more. In all cases, however, a country kitchen design is welcoming and makes you feel like you can just sit down and chat while peeling carrots for a warm winter soup or enjoying a cup of coffee.
So let’s go check out the country kitchen designs we selected for you today and we hope you will find something to inspire you. Enjoy and beautiful day to you!
1. Heirloom Plates…
The Little Plus: the maple wood buffet deux corps in the back corner with two candle iron wall sconces next to it. Looks like an antique piece of furniture that took its place in the kitchen. The pinkish granite countertop on a dark olive kitchen island adds functional personality to this space.
2. Cooking with the Fleur de Lys…
The Little Plus: the antique wood fire stove is priceless. Also, note the butcher block used around the double porcelain sink. And how about the hand-painted backsplash — adorable!
3. Super Functional Custom Designed Country Kitchen…
The Little Plus: the custom-made large and narrow mantel with spots to light the professional range makes this kitchen stand out. Also, notice how the welcoming solid wood trestle farm table in the eat-in area is blessed with natural light.
4. French Provincial, Chicken Wire & Lunch Bell included…
The Little Plus: the color palette in pale yellow is warm and in great harmony with the wood kitchen island. Love the vaulted ceiling with exposed beams painted in white. And notice, the Miele plumbed built-in coffee system under the chicken wire faced cabinet — old and modern, working together!
5. Just like in the Country…
The Little Plus: the large farmhouse sink with curtain is so charming! Notice the chicken wire cabinets, so country, especially with the display of porcelain white dishes. The brick wall cooking area in the back adds to the rustic nature of this kitchen. And for entertaining in the kitchen, the wet bar is very convenient.
6. French Country Kitchen with Terra Cotta Flooring…
The Little Plus: the built-in maple wood Vaisselier is a space saver in this casual country kitchen. Also, the bench around the U-shaped island provides maximum seating (great with little ones). And we love the “tomette” look of the terracotta tile flooring.
7. Wide Open Spaces…
The Little Plus: the double farmhouse sink is very practical. Also, the track lighting on the rustic beams ensures proper lighting during food preparation. And with the open area to the living room and sunroom, the kitchen feels larger and benefits from plenty of natural light.
8. High Ceiling Ground Floor Retro Kitchen…
The Little Plus: the large French doors – they welcome natural light and air that make the room seem larger. Love the marble-topped table kitchen table, wow!
9. Cooking in the Valençay Castle…
The Little Plus: This old world kitchen sits just beneath the 18th-century wing of the Valençay Castle, an exceptional Loire Valley castle. The walk-in fireplace for some good old fashion wood fire cooking brings up great feelings of conviviality.
