Which colours go well with a country-style kitchen?
A characteristic of the country-living style is the use of lots of calming colours. That is why you often see shades such as white, light grey, and ecru in country kitchens. But black, brown, and olive green also suit a rustic style. The key to this style is choosing natural colours that are not too bright. It is these subdued colours that give country kitchens their sense of tranquillity.
What colour worktop looks good in a country kitchen?
The same rule applies here – natural colours are the best fit for a rural style. This makes a wooden worktop the perfect choice for a country-style kitchen. Alternatively, a natural stone, black, or grey worktopcan also create that rustic atmosphere you are looking for in this kitchen style.

Classic country kitchen
Stylish and timeless, that's the best way to describe a classic country kitchen. The use of lots of light colours is a prominent feature of a classic country kitchen. The kitchen cabinets are often white, ecru or light grey, with added detailing as bevelled panels and glass doors in the wall cabinets. Worktops are typically made of wood or natural stone. Authentic touches like a raised ceramic sink, an elegant tap, and porcelain or iron handles, complete the look.
Country modern kitchen
You may think that ‘country style’ and ‘modern’ are contradictory terms, but nothing could be further from the truth. In a modern country kitchen, the authentic elements and natural materials are combined with sleek details. Imagine, for example, stainless steel handles, a black extractor hood or a concrete-effect splashback. Or why not go for a wooden kitchen that offers the cosy feel of a country style, but with a surprisingly modern twist?
Black country kitchen
Country-style kitchens are often white or ecru, but this doesn’t have to be the only option. By choosing a black country kitchen, you immediately give the whole appearance a tough edge. The black provides a perfect contrast with the natural materials such as wood and natural stone. Black-stained fronts with a wood structure, in particular, combine the warmth and robustness of the country style with the chic effect of the dark colour. By making use of classic elements such as a two-handle kitchen mixer tap, a sink with visible front and a freestanding fridge, you can create a truly cool country kitchen.
