Looking for kitchen ideas? This rustic barn offers cute inspiration that you can apply to even a small kitchen. It’s that cosy artisanal, modern-rustic look that’s really popular right now – especially as those cold winter months start to draw in…
How can you achieve this look? Use earthy colours and ample textures, and play with natural materials such as weathered wood and natural stone. Handcrafted or upcycled furnishings are ideal pieces, as they help to give the room a real sense of craftsmanship. Try saving money and make your own open shelving using chunky wood planks and wrought iron wall brackets, and spend a bit more on the items you display on them…
Not sure what to display? Why not treat yourself to some beautiful new kitchenware made from gorgeous metals? They look stunning and deserve to be on show. (These are copper, but if your budget doesn’t run to it, cheaper tin pots can also give a rustic feel and add lots of character).
As your kettle is something which is left out, replace it with a gorgeous new one that deserves pride of place and complements your other kitchen collectables.
If you like this style and want to recreate it yourself, think stylish utilitarian kitchenware and you can’t go wrong. If you’re a fan, but don’t want to overload on the metal accents, some handmade ceramics will slightly soften the finish…
