Modern rustic kitchens: how inviting do these kitchens look?
Posted on 16th October 2020
What goes into creating a modern rustic kitchen? Log burner, range cooker, that smell of baked goods, country-style cabinetry and comfy seating for all the family? All of the above?
Cosy to me is that slightly unpolished, rustic and cottage-style look (some might say #cottagecore) reminiscent of a countryside staycation in a rural idyll, complete with fireside drinks and big bowls of apple crumble and custard.
When it comes to modern rustic kitchens, I’m thinking looks on the more traditional side of the style spectrum, but with a subtle modern edge – scroll for my pick of best ones that caught my eye. I’d get that hot chocolate on if I was you…
Devol‘s Haberdasher’s kitchen is inspired by just that – crafts and traditional furniture. This lovely space was photographed by Our Food Stories and it’s of their home and studio in Sweden. Oh if only we could hop on a plane…This is the Cranbourne cabinetry by Life Kitchens and it has a modern rustic feel. By mixing tones of grey and cream, the look is brought into the present day. Note the detailed mantles and dovetail joints, which add to the country look.You can still add bright colours into a cosy kitchen. Mix textures and choose tones with an earthy shade, such as greens and oranges, to maintain a nature-inspired theme that reminds you of the countryside.
