Country kitchens: a style that transcends time
The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house and, precisely because of this, choosing the right style of furniture is always quite complicated.
There are various styles of furniture to choose from and when it comes to the kitchen it is important to opt for a style that does not get boring over time.
Obviously the choice is completely subjective, in fact, lovers of simplicity will certainly opt for a minimal style, therefore for a modern kitchen, or for those who love a timeless style, will choose the classic one.
Among the styles that are candidates for an excellent choice, also from an aesthetic standpoint, we must mention the so-called country kitchen, which is a bit of a hybrid between retro, traditional and rustic.
The country-style furniture, characterized by a rustic setting, is a style that lends itself to infinite interpretations, from romantic to contemporary and is synonymous with hospitality, familiarity, romanticism.
Country style kitchens: harmony and functionality
The main element of this style of furniture is the material: by using stone and solid wood we give the country style furniture a solid but, at the same time, very elegant appearance and with attention to detail.

Regardless of the specificity and versatility of the country style and all its various aspects, there are some fundamental elements to consider in order to choose the country style for your kitchen.
A country style kitchen: the elements that must be present
The first thing to consider is the material: it is considered one of the fundamental furnishing elements; they must be made of wood because only this material knows how to give that great touch of tradition to the entire composition and to the environment in which it is inserted.

Then we must talk about furniture and what we choose to be included in the country kitchen: the most important thing is that all accessories must be simple.
It is precisely this simplicity that gives uniqueness to the composition and combined with a particular attention to the materials, colors and characteristics of our kitchen makes that environment personalized and welcoming.

Even when it comes to the choice of appliances you must be careful not to choose a too modern model or one with too particular lines that would affect the aesthetics of the kitchen.
The same goes for the furnishing accessories that will enrich the environment. You must be careful not to choose too modern chandeliers but only elements that can marry this style and enrich it.
The colors of country kitchens
The colors that are mostly used in a country-style kitchen are: pickled white, light green, ivory, yellow, powder pink, and light blue.
Because of this, there will be pastel colors to be customized by combining them with darker or brighter shades according to your tastes and needs.

Once you have chosen the colors you prefer, try to stay in harmony with the other furnishing elements.
