53 Sensationally Rustic Kitchens In Mountain Homes

Rustic Kitchens in Mountain Homes-01-1 Kindesign

Creating a rustic kitchen in a mountain home provides comfort and coziness that seems to warm up the brisk air from the surrounding outdoor environment. Worn, distressed, and rough-hewn, are not typically the first words that come to mind when we think of kitchens today.

While crisp white cabinets, polished nickel hardware, and beautiful marble countertops are on-trend, a rustic kitchen will always provide the comfort of a piping hot bowl of chili and curling up with a hot chocolate on a cold night. More words that describe the look are well-worn, patina, antiqued, homey, and reclaimed.

Key elements every rustic kitchen should have:

    • Natural Materials: Incorporate materials like wood, stone, and brick to create an authentic rustic feel. Exposed wooden beams, stone countertops, and brick backsplashes are common features.
    • Weathered Finishes: Embrace the beauty of weathered and distressed finishes on cabinetry, furniture, and other surfaces. This adds character and charm to the space.
    • Warm Color Palette: Opt for warm, earthy tones such as browns, creams, and muted greens to evoke a cozy atmosphere.
    • Vintage or Antique Accents: Integrate vintage or antique elements like reclaimed wood furniture, antique light fixtures, or vintage kitchen tools to add character.
    • Open Shelving: Consider open shelving made of reclaimed wood or wrought iron to display rustic dinnerware, pottery, and cooking essentials.
    • Farmhouse Sink: A farmhouse or apron-front sink adds a touch of rustic elegance and practicality to the kitchen.
    • Cozy Lighting: Install warm and inviting lighting fixtures such as wrought iron chandeliers, pendant lights, or vintage-inspired sconces to enhance the rustic ambiance.
    • Functional Decor: Incorporate functional decor elements like woven baskets, Mason jars, and copper cookware to add warmth and personality to the space.

By incorporating these elements, you can create an inviting rustic kitchen that exudes warmth and character.

I love all the photos showcasing brown wood cabinets. I’m so over the white cabinet trend. It’s good to see that brown cabinets never go out of style.

This feature is one large cliché: brown.
