Tuscan country-style kitchens are loved for their warmth, relaxed atmosphere and convivial character. Once associated mainly with Mediterranean and rural homes, the look now appears in many interiors. If you enjoy southern style, browse these Mediterranean kitchen ideas, but be warned: they may make you want to redesign your whole kitchen.
Rustic Tuscan country-style kitchens – comfortable and stylish
Looking at interior trends from recent years, the country-house style has outlasted many short-lived fashions. Its appeal may come from the calm and comfort of rural life, especially for people living in cities.
What does Mediterranean country style look like?
Country style varies from region to region. The Mediterranean version often draws on Tuscany, with natural materials such as terracotta, wood, stone and metal. Earth tones, cotton, linen and leather textiles create a relaxed foundation for the style.
Furniture suitable for a Tuscan-style kitchen
Rustic furniture is essential in a Tuscan style country kitchen. Over time, wood ages beautifully. The Italian country kitchen is flexible and gives you room to add a modern touch while staying true to your personal taste.
Furnishings for country style
A large wooden table can work well with antique furniture and modern decorations.
A fireplace adds comfort and well-being
Mediterranean interiors are usually based on earthy colors. Timeless white and warm sandy tones are recurring elements in country-style kitchens. Ochre, from yellow to reddish orange, can also be used on the walls.
Modern amenities in a rustic style complete the look
Do not forget the accessories when creating a Tuscan country style: wrought-iron candle holders, antiques, dried floral arrangements, china bowls and baskets. Linen has made a strong comeback for pillows, tablecloths and curtains. Plaids, stripes, floral patterns, knitted pieces and crocheted details all reflect Mediterranean style.
Southern charm for cooking, frying and baking
Unglazed clay, terracotta and white marble have a long tradition in country style kitchens. Shapes are playful and lively. Rustic wood can combine beautifully with dark metal accents.
