Country kitchen island

A country kitchen inspires a warm and inviting feel to the heart of the home. Most any kitchen can be remodeled to meet the standards of a country kitchen. A few specific steps and some moderate effort will ensure that your remodel is a success and that your kitchen is the country kitchen of your dreams in no time.

Instructions

1. 

   Color pencils

   Assess your kitchen and determine your design plan. Sketch your plans keeping in mind that country kitchens typically have distressed or natural woods and warm colors with small cool accents. Sketching your design will provide you with a basis for a remodel plan.

2. 

   Natural wood cabinets

   Replace your existing contemporary cabinets with those of natural or distressed wood. Depending on the look of your current cabinets, you can avoid replacing all your cabinetry by replacing just your cabinet doors.

3. 

   Floral light fixture

   Install rustic light fixtures. Rustic light features add instant ambiance to country design decor.

4. Paint your kitchen in a warm hue and install a new stamped copper backsplash behind a farmhouse sink for added country panache.

5. 

   Country kitchen with painted cabinets.

   Replace contemporary flooring with ceramic tile. Bring in your country design elements, decor and accessories.
