With today’s fast-paced world, many of us are looking to slow down a bit and find the peace of a simpler time. Personally, I think the perfect way to evoke that sense is by cooking in a rustic kitchen.

Dispelling Preconceived Notions
If we play word association with “rustic kitchen,” I’m sure the first thing you think of is a cabin kitchen decked out with raw timbers. And while that image definitely fits the bill, rustic kitchen design encompasses a lot more than that.
What Is Rustic Design, Really?
Firstly, the tenet behind the rustic design is to feature natural materials in a space that prioritizes comfort and evokes a sense of coziness and home. Yes, this means wood. But don’t forget about brick, stone, and metal. Combine these elements in a simple, purposeful design that allows the natural beauty of the materials to shine.

Now, I’ve said many times before that cabinetry is the base upon which I build kitchen designs, so let’s start there. For a rustic kitchen, our Hatteras Pebble Grey RTA Cabinets immediately come to mind. The simple design is perfect for the rustic look, and the pebble grey will nicely complement any natural materials we include.
Personally, I’d go for some dark slate floor tiles and tie everything together with black appliances and finishes. But overall, the Hatteras Pebble Grey cabinets are such a great base, you can really take the design in any direction you choose.
