Kitchen in a country house - the embodiment of any dream

A big plus of country houses is that there are absolutely no restrictions on design, there is the opportunity to fully realize any dream without resorting to any redevelopment. After all, this is your own home and only you decide how many rooms will be here, what exactly they will be and what size. Communication can also be easily led wherever you want and equip your kitchen, taking into account any wishes. Fiction, isn't it ?!




What style to choose

Very often, country houses use the classic style of the interior, while not distinguishing the kitchen from the common space.

By the way, the kitchen in most cases is combined with the dining room with a further smooth transition into the living room.

Also the most common styles are country, rustic, modern, minimalism and Japanese style. A good solution is to bring the kitchen closer to the landscape, which is located outside the window with the help of appropriate materials. Fortunately, surrounded, as a rule, is a beautiful natural landscape.


If a kitchen with glass and metal is appropriate in a city apartment, then in a country house you already want to make it softer. Wood, stone, ceramics, porcelain stoneware and other similar materials are widely used for this.


And if old beams are preserved in the house, then you can wonderfully decorate the interior for the country style or Provence so popular today.

Design and arrangement of the kitchen

Since in a country house we are completely unlimited in area, the kitchen can be made the embodiment of any of your dreams, especially since in a spacious room the communications wiring does not cause any difficulties. In this regard, islands or peninsulas are usually lined up in the center of the kitchen (countertop with built-in sink, stove, bar), without reference to the walls.


In principle, the island can make the whole kitchen. The stove and hood can also be positioned anywhere. The lower part of the kitchen is usually accented, if desired, you can select the desired zones or blocks. You can use different levels for this, especially if it dictates the terrain (in case the house is located on a hill). However, it’s not worth it to overdo it unnecessarily; multilevel nevertheless impedes the free movement of the room (for example, with a table on wheels).

A window plays a large role and, as a rule, is part of a composition consisting of a sink and a work surface, usually located in front of it and connected to the windowsill.


Also often in the kitchen there is a door leading to the terrace or garden, which is very convenient.


False ceilings represent one of the most optimal solutions for kitchens of country houses, both beamed and flowing one into another.

Location of furniture and appliances

The main difference between a country kitchen and a city apartment is that usually there is no upper tier of cabinets, as it is not necessary. After all, there is enough free space, so objects can be located in other places. But the interior of the kitchen becomes lighter, and there is also the opportunity to place some more beautiful elements, for example, furniture with stained glass inserts, original open shelves, etc.

As for the technology, there is also a difference from a city apartment - there is much more of it in such a kitchen: huge refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, microwave ovens, double boiler, coffee maker, hob with all kinds of elements and more. Also, the technique is large, and sometimes it can even be built into columns.

Among other things, kitchens in country houses are usually equipped with a storage system, which is simply necessary here, because it’s very difficult to visit the store often in suburban life. In this regard, for the placement of such cabinets for all kinds of reserves, sometimes a whole wall is allocated immediately, used in its entire height. You can also equip a small storage area near the kitchen or in the basement.

Kitchen decor

Often, tiles are used not only for wall decoration, but also for decorating furniture, especially since for this it is chosen an original, unusual design, bright and rich tone, capable of adjusting the entire kitchen design for itself. Very often, wide seams and the effect of artificial aging are used to create an atmosphere of antiquity. If this is a country style, an abundance of wooden decor, for example, wheels, beams, is extremely welcome.

A difficult wooden ceiling is also performed.

In addition, forged metal, stained glass - all this will be appropriate in this style. Do not forget about such things as dried flowers, all kinds of fragrant garlands of herbs, onions, garlic, even suspended ceilings can be from dried flowers. Well, nobody canceled cute decorative trinkets here either.


There are no single recommendations and rules for how to organize a kitchen space. This question is very individual, because everyone chooses something useful specifically for himself and specifically for his own kitchen.
