Where does "rust"?

While little-known among the broad masses rustik, like, like country, like him, popularizes the country style. therefore a rustic style kitchen most typical for country, spacious and bright houses. However, in urban apartments such a design will be relevant and relevant.

As a rule, in the rustic style, they mainly decorate the kitchen. Because its simplicity, warmth and "homemade" are very organic in the room, where often the whole family gathers together.

Like any other design direction, rustic has its own characteristics and requirements for the placement under the finish:

• the kitchen area should be at least 10-15 square meters, otherwise rough textures of untreated wood, brick and concrete will weight the interior and look oppressive;
• for finishing only natural materials are used, no imitations and computer prints;
• obligatory element of style - wooden beams-crossbeams under the ceiling;
• a high ceiling in the kitchen is a masthevBecause without it it will be impossible to design wooden beams. Otherwise, they strongly hide the space, creating a dugout effect, rather than a modern, stylized dwelling;
• the main tone of the interior is set by the furniture: a kitchen set and a dining table must be made of wood;
• tableware in rustic design - this is not only a container for food, but also an accessory for decoration: painted dishes can decorate the wall or nicely arrange them in the sideboard;
• an irreplaceable detail of the decor - napkins, potholders and other hand-made textiles, made in patchwork style.

Furniture in the interior of the kitchen in the rustic style

The country style in the interior of the kitchen is achieved, first of all, at the expense of furniture. She plays a key role in the design of the rustic style. And, since furniture made of wood is eternal, not out of fashion, it will look good in the kitchen even if the design of the other rooms in the apartment is made in completely different styles.

Furniture should be massive, sound, as if made by a grandfather or father in his own workshop. The only condition: the furniture should not be much! Basically, in order to neutralize the roughness of untreated wood a little, choose its light-colored rocks, placing pieces of furniture - point: kitchen island, shelf with utensils and a small table with stools.

If the set of light wood could not be obtained, it is perfectly permissible to use painted wood, but only matte paint, without varnish, because the country style does not accept excessive gloss and gloss.

The most commonly used tree species are:

• oak;
• Pine;
• nut;
• cherry;
• Birch.

Distinctive features of the rustic style in the interior of the kitchen - it's natural and deliberate "untidiness". Very good, if instead of stools near the table there will be real, neatly cut down stumps, with a few knots or pronounced secular rings on the cut. This will add color to the interior.

Rustic does not tolerate modern materials at all! Therefore, it is desirable to avoid glass, plastic, chipboard, as well as any designer things and shapes. The whole room should be spiritualized and "alive", with minimal inclusions of "civilization".

Importance of nuances

Rustic, at first glance - a very simple, but at the same time, a fairly complex performance style. He does not allow inaccuracies and flaws. Interior should be thought through to trifles, otherwise improperly selected accessories, textiles or dishes will simply erase its authentic features, creating an ordinary village bad taste, but not the Rustic style kitchen.

Particular importance in the kitchen design plays utensils. In this case, the word "utensils" is even more appropriate. Ideal option will be rare devices, got from the grandmother and carefully preserved to the present time. They perfectly complement and fill the atmosphere of modern-rustic cuisine. Cast-iron frying pans and cauldrons, clay pots, an ancient teapot, which is heated by gas - all these are irreplaceable and very "talking" elements of rustic cuisine. They do not even have to be used, but they are obliged to be present as decor.

Modern housewife in the kitchen is difficult to do without technology. Therefore, not to return a few centuries ago (not cook in the oven and wash dishes in the river), it is desirable to make the technique built-in and skillfully mask.

Very refreshing interior and add to it "nationalities" painted and ornamental patterns on furniture, which can be made with the help of acrylic paints.

Unlike popular country, rustic is more real, authentic and close to the present, ancient village style. Not stylization, but an authentic example. And although he seems a little rude, but that's why he is attractive, because going to such a kitchen, you forget about everything and just rest.
