Country kitchen ideas – get the rustic look with our ultimate inspiration gallery

These country kitchen ideas aren't just for rural dwellers. As many of us are spending more times in our homes – wherever their location – thoughts have inevitably turned to interior surroundings and how we can make them cosier, more comforting. And for many, that brings to mind a rustic look.

That means a returning passion for country decorating ideas and, specifically, the room that lies at the heart of our home – the kitchen. 

Even modern homes can benefit from a touch of softer styling and simpler detailing that will embody the country aesthetic.
