rustic home lighting

This is not the kind of kitchen for the busy business woman who comes tired from work, throws a pizza into the microwave oven and spends the rest of the evening in front of the TV or with an easy read in her hands.

The interior design for the rustic kitchen is designated for the modern housewife, to wow her soul and awake her creative cooking skills, to inspire her into preparing exquisite traditional dishes.

The rustic kitchen is not plain, nor does it lack class. Many luxurious mansions have a rustic style. Take a look in your house and garden magazine to see how many Tuscan style decors are used currently in interior design. Or note how many traditional Mexican motifs make the highlights of the modern interiors. And let’s not forget the native American Indian style, spread all around the world with its eye-catching details, inspiring colors and symbols that make designing your interiors fun and refreshing: an unique experience.

The interior design for rustic decor is rich in symbols and meanings and decorating your home with such artifacts is a tribute to our ancestors and a pledge for continuity. The easiest to decorate in a rustic style is the kitchen. Luckily rustic pottery and rustic furniture have functionality aside magnificence.

The simplicity of the rustic style does not spoil its beauty. A rustic kitchen is the best place to gather around with your friends and family, to spend a fairy-tale like Christmas, to teach your children how to respect the values of the past.

The rustic feeling in interior decorations is given through design with the materials used, the colors employed and the message you want to convey. In a kitchen you’ll need to use natural wood, traditional pottery (preferably terracotta or other earthenware, as porcelain is more recent and too sophisticated), had-knotted carpets and folk art.

While you take care of these accessories, don’t forget the functionality. Plan the kitchen to be comfortable to use. Place the sink (the famous Belfast sinks could be a great choice to complete the interior design rustic look you wish for) near the oven, the fridge within a reachable distance, preferably opposite to the worktop.

Don’t forget that the most important “ingredient” that makes a rustic kitchen a success is the furniture. This is where the problems come along: wooden furniture is never cheap. You could plan your kitchen from scratch and buy random pieces of furniture from amazon or antiquaries. But it’s improbable to find everything you need at a bargain price.

You should also consider carefully the style you choose. To create an interior design for the ideal rustic kitchen, you need to know what kind of pottery matches with your furniture and you should also consider carefully whether that style matches your own lifestyle. Sometimes rustic kitchens tend to be heavy and crowded. The colors are often too dark to create a positive atmosphere. In such situations you can use lighting as a mood enhancer or fresh flowers to bring color and flavor in your home. Apartment plants, with their always fresh green and their natural look are perfect additions to your kitchen design too, no matter if the chosen style is rustic, traditional or ultramodern.

What rustic color would look the best in a log modular home?

I have just purchased a log modular home. The walls in the living room are cream colored. One wall has log all along it. It is a light tint. Light is no problem. I want a clean/fresh look but also keeping in the log tradition. Can anyone help, Thanks…

It definitely is an individual decision- it depends on several factors- what part of the country you are in, size of the home , ( colors will make a place seem larger or smaller.) personal preferance as to what you feel “comfortable” in- ( I am a redhead, and would NEVER want a lot of red in my house, for instance.) I like the idea of cream for a base, and probably would add natures colors in the pale forest greens, rusts, colonial blues, etc. have fun1 ( yes, this ismy business.)
