Country Kitchen Cabinets
Designing Country Kitchen Cabinets
The kitchen is the heart of every busy home. Your kitchen should be warm and welcoming every day, whether you are entertaining visitors, making a snack, or cooking for the family dinner. Country kitchen cabinets will give a feel that is homely, yet the cabinets can range from very simple to very sophisticated.
Country encompasses a wide variety of styles - you can opt for American country, for example. Here, the cabintery is usually of wood, highlights natural stains and grains and is both functional and attractive. This style uses rustic imagery and features old world artefacts such as metal jugs and patchwork cushion covers.
English country cabinets will be solid, distressed, washed with white or soft pastel colored paint and featuring clean lines and glass fronted cupboards. The look is classic and time resistant. The origin of this style is that found in large manorial estate homes and manor houses. Sometimes it is mixed with the 'cottage' style.
If you want a country look with a classic European feel, you may want to consider a French country design. A trendy and ever popular choice among homeowners, it combines practicality with ornate elements and textures. Simplicity is combined with utility and functonality. This attractive design will enliven your kitchen by using lighter colors and more natural finishes.
Once you have decided upon country kitchen cabinets, don't neglect accessories such as hinges and knobs or handles. You will find a large choice in classic styles that will enhance your cabinets. Ceramic handpainted knobs will blend well with the warmth of wood as will crafted brass handles.
Make a feature of your cabinets and your kitchen will be comfortable and stylish!
