Better than Grandma's

white kitchen
Take Our Decor Quiz

Memories of big family gatherings in Grandma's kitchen inspired this kitchen remodel. The green island base was finished with stain to give it a time-worn look, and the butcher-block countertop is just one of the nostalgic kitchen design ideas—along with the farmhouse sink, corbeled shelves, and wide-plank pine floors. The white cabinetry and trimwork bring a fresh contrast to the kitchen's wood tones and muted, earthy hues.

Made to Gather

white and wooden kitchen

A sprawling farm table invites family and friends to linger at the center of this spacious country kitchen. White furniture-style cabinets around the perimeter of the kitchen balance the dark slate tile floors and substantial wood ceiling. A modern light fixture above the table brings the look into the 21st century.

Quintessential Country

cottage-style kitchen with vintage island

This small country kitchen certainly doesn't lack rustic charm. White cabinets topped with wood countertops and a beaded-board backsplash lay a solid foundation. The farmhouse sink and barn-style light fixtures enhance the look, as do open shelves on curvaceous corbels and the old-fashioned table-turned-island.

Nature's Hue

green wood kitchen with pitched shiplap ceiling table stools

Leafy green nods to nature in this charming kitchen. Shiplap on both the walls and the pitched ceiling sets the tone for a country kitchen, as do the weathered wood floors. The upper cabinets sit on the counters, mimicking the look of an old-fashioned breakfront. Instead of an island, an 1850s pine table sits in the center of the kitchen, creating a collected-over-time look.

Cottage partners with country in this kitchen to create a light and airy look. Shiplap dresses up the walls and range hood. Burnished gold knobs and pulls elevate simple white cabinets, and dark, warm flooring grounds the space. Pastel accents on open shelves add a hint of sweet color to the otherwise neutral country kitchen.

Country Strong

Reclaimed wood and white are hallmarks of country kitchen ideas. Here, they combine in rustic fashion. Exposed brick walls painted white lighten the room and a large island invites gathering. Finishing touches like the vintage-style light fixture and industrial bar stools advance the theme.

Eclectic Country Design

Farmhouse vintage kitchen wide view

A cozy mix of finishes and elements creates an assembled-over-time design in this roomy kitchen. The perimeter cabinets were glazed to temper the blue base color. Mixed wood finishes warm up the space and high-gloss subway tile adds a little shimmer. Underfoot, concrete pavers recall the look of old brick but are easier to maintain and softer to bare feet. Rustic country kitchen decor, such as the signage and vintage rug, complete the look.

Crowd-Pleasing Country

Decorating Gallery

An impressive mix of repurposed flea market finds, refurbished pieces, and fresh paint update this small country kitchen. A blue beaded-board backsplash installed horizontally provides a fresh twist on traditional wainscoting. Warm beige paint updates wood floors worn beyond repair. Fresh floral fabrics, wicker accents, and wall brackets beneath upper cabinetry complete the charming country design.

Traditional Country

100995971

A blend of Shaker and farmhouse traditions, this kitchen brims with cheery country kitchen ideas, including a big farmhouse sink and furniture-style cabinetry. The wall of glass-front cabinets and two big windows over the sink help the kitchen feel airy. Without heavy window treatments, sunlight has no trouble streaming into this kitchen.

New to You

Kitchen with DIY touches

New and old play nice in this kitchen. Mismatched cabinet knobs and pulls purchased at a salvage store add a fresh element to store-bought cabinets. Poured-in-place concrete countertops and an island made from a refurbished farmhouse table add to the country appeal. On the table legs, fresh paint was topped with a coat of stain to patina the color and dial up the charm. A canning jar becomes a days-gone-by pendant above the sink, and a flour-sack cafe curtain recalls humble beginnings.

Perfect Match

kitchen island

The homeowners wanted this walnut island to be big—really big—and resemble an old haberdashery chest. Kitchen design ideas like statement lighting, mixed finishes, and patinas elevate the room. Dark cabinet pulls on both sets of cabinets help unify the perimeter cabinets to the island and tie in with the trim on the light fixtures and the dark flooring.

Country Combinations

kitchen

Simple floating shelves surround windows in this barn-inspired country kitchen. An eclectic mix of baskets, china, and cutting boards outfit the open storage. Laminate flooring provides the look of aged barnwood without the hefty price. A pretty, neutral island echoes the look of the board-and-batten siding on the home's exterior.

Today Meets Yesterday

Cottage Kitchen Ideas

Old and new country kitchen design ideas form a harmonious merger in this light-filled space, where a sleek stainless-steel range hood crowns a Victorian-style stove. At the heart of the kitchen, a tall, weathered farm table with shapely turned legs stands in as an island. The wood island and the hardwood floors warm up the expansive white walls and cabinets.

Details to Delight

Traditional Kitchens

Proof that not all country kitchen ideas need to be rooted in rustic, this space recalls a refined country estate. Finely tuned features exude both elegant charisma and countryside warmth. Alderwood cabinets set the welcoming tone, while granite perimeter counters and oak on the island create an air of substance. Three kinds of tile add interest to the backsplash, while handcrafted corbels support the island with shapely appeal. Leather stools with hammered nailhead trim add a finishing touch.

  • Choose between different types of wood cabinets.

Charming Combinations

white cabinets

Pairing a glazed white finish with stained alder countertops gives this section of cabinetry the look of a freestanding furniture piece you might find in an old farmhouse kitchen. Other popular country kitchen design ideas like beaded board on the backsplash and wire mesh in the cabinet doors enhance the vintage theme. A sliding barn-style door distinguishes the pantry.

Fabulous Finds

kitchen,

A country-style kitchen is made more personal when furnished with vintage pieces and rustic country kitchen decor scoured from treasure hunts. The reclaimed-marble countertops, salvaged cabinets, and a vintage farm chair painted green infuse this room with charm. The centerpiece in the room is a castoff from an old-time butcher shop.

White Warms Up

kitchen

White is always a great choice for a small country kitchen. In this space, rich wood flooring prevents the room from feeling sterile. An abundance of beaded board and details like industrial stools and old-fashioned drawer pulls lend texture and charm.

Substance and Style

Kitchen Cabinet Colors

Country mixes with industrial style in this handsome kitchen. Two-inch-thick marble countertops are reminiscent of days past. A square edge on the countertops gives a nod to modern styling while comfortably cohabiting with the distressed dark gray finish on the cabinets. Bin-style pulls add to the traditional character of the hutch, which is designed to resemble an antique apothecary cabinet.

  • Master the new look of country kitchen designs.

A Mismatched Moment

kitchen

A wooden cabinet that once stored tools in a factory now serves as an island in this colorful country kitchen. Complete with an old cast-iron sink, the island boasts a pretty blue hue that mixes with pale green cabinetry and yellow trimwork in the adjacent dining room. Copper cookware and mounted plates contribute a final splash of vibrant color, while the backsplash behind the range ties the color scheme together.

Fabric Finesse

olive kitchen

Fabric can be the key to uniting all the elements in your country kitchen. This space does exactly that with a botanical print at the window and plaid on the stools. Colors in the fabric visually draw together timeless features: neutral granite countertops, classic white subway tiles, an oak-topped island, distressed green cabinets, a copper prep sink, and a zinc range hood.

Lights Fantastic

kitchen

Lighting might be easy to overlook, but it helps this country kitchen stand out. Oversize pendants above the island draw attention to the charm of the ceiling and feature antiqued industrial shades. The more diminutive reproduction fixture above the sink allows the island lighting to take center stage while still providing ample task lighting and nostalgic character.

Old Meets New

vintage kitchen

Old wood faces new cabinets for one-of-a-kind vintage country style. Plank flooring throughout the kitchen was salvaged from a barn. A rich oil-rubbed bronze faucet contrasts a sparkling apron-front sink. The kitchen island, formerly a nail bin in a country hardware store, provides a striking conversation piece. When using old wood, it's important to ensure that the wood is sealed and you properly handle any surfaces with lead paint.

Oversize Country-Style Island

Get the Cottage Look: Wood Flooring

This kitchen's casual style and roomy island invite guests and family to pull up a stool and stay for a while or join the cook without getting in the way. The island also doubles as a place to organize shopping lists or help with homework. Creamy white walls and trim enliven and balance the mushroom gray cabinets and gray washed floors, balancing earthy appeal with clean aesthetics.

Clean Country

kitchen

Yellow-and-blue schemes are counted as a favorite among country kitchen design ideas. This kitchen is outfitted in blue cabinets that have a gray undertone, which helps the color read as refined, not shocking. With accents of soft yellow paint and a bright window over the farmhouse sink, country cottage style abounds. Intricate trim details at the top of the cabinets give them a built-in effect, and the hooked rug and a "quilted" backsplash are other nods to the style.

Neutral Palette

kitchen

Shaker-style cabinets and a recycled black granite countertop offer modern updates to a traditional country kitchen. A theorem-inspired painting above the window and an industrial stool span two centuries of American style. Underfoot, a bricklike flooring furthers the rustic look.

Clean Contrast

white and black kitchen

Durable wood floors, honed surfaces, and wide aisles make this elegantly appointed country kitchen work for a crowd. A farm-table-turned-island supplies storage and work space. Touches of wicker, like the stools and oversize basket, and plenty of beaded board complete the country look.
