Rustic Kitchen Decorating is especially loved by families who love to hunt and/or fish.
This is the perfect theme that allows you to show off your trophies. Whether your passion is hunting, fishing or just the beauty of the outdoors, you can create the perfect look with this theme.
Some of the more popular rustic themes are twig, acorn pinecone, elk, deer, bear, fish and moose. Decide which you are going to feature in your kitchen. You can find so many accessories in all of these themes, such as switch plate covers, drawer pulls, towel bars, paper towel holders, salt and pepper shakers, plates, mugs, bowls, canister sets, pot holders, aprons, and the list goes on and on.
If you have a beautiful scene outside, and if privacy isn't of major concern, opt for leaving windows free of treatments. If you do need to cover them, look for paisley, checks and gingham. Bamboo blinds and shutters with swags, cafe curtains, any curtain you decide to hang is beautiful on a rustic curtain pole, with matching tie backs and finials.
Rustic natural wood is a must have in the kitchen, visit antique stores, estate sales and thrift shops for tables, chairs, benches, hutches, buffets and rustic hanging pot racks.
Accessories in the rustic kitchen are simple, take a walk in the woods or in your back yard. Look for acorns, pinecones, twigs, hollowed out logs. These fit perfectly in your decor.
When visiting flea markets, thrift shops and estate sales keep your eyes peeled for vintage tin cans, rustic candle holders, baskets, art prints, wrought iron pot racks, old cook books, copper pots, rustic jars and canisters.
Stone floors are very popular in rustic kitchens, although this may not always be possible, depending on financial or renting, etc. restrictions, so of course wood floors will also be fine in this room. Don't forget the braided rugs for added comfort.
When choosing paint colors, consider colors found in nature. They should be warm and welcoming, such as, deep rich browns, burnt orange, rust, tans, and greens.
For rustic kitchen decorating, your lighting choices play a huge part, look for antler chandeliers, wrought iron chandeliers, hurricane lamps and scented candles in rustic candle holders.
