Country style in kitchen design: coziness and comfort of rural antiquity

Decoration and decoration of the interior of your house or apartment is fascinating, but at the same time, and a difficult occupation.

The ideal material for washing and countertops is natural stone. A frequent element of the kitchen decor in the country style is a wide strip of floral pattern, it can be found on curtains, drapes, furniture and household appliances.

Decorating kitchen or dining room in country style, pay attention to small elements of the interior (shelves, ceramic plates and dishes, bouquets and compositions of fruits and dried flowers, clay pots, baskets, stylized utensils). Do not be afraid to go too far with details: the design of the kitchen in the style of the country suggests an abundance (even redundancy) of decorative small things.
