Rustic Kitchen Color Schemes

[4 Jun 2010 | No Comment | ]

Rustic kitchens are often beautifully coloured – we suggest pale blues, greens and reds. Try different colors on walls and fittings and, most enjoyably, you don’t have to be too neat with your painting! Rustic kitchens look great with a few paint drops here and there, a combination of weak and strong brush strokes and wispy, wavy lines – this is what gives them their great charm and character.

Unyca kitchen designs, which is a concept from Must Italia that takes kitchens in a different direction altogether. What we have here, really, is a wonderfully elegant design that is both glamorous and functional, elements they achieve without sacrificing any of the practicality any kitchen simply must have. The wall-mounted cabinets do their most essential job of storage in a way that does not impinge upon the room’s space, a design that is elemental in its simplicity. But this kitchen also has an element of luxury with the gold or silver legs under the kitchen units, an element that is carried forward in the other furniture available from Must Italia.

It’s the sort of kitchen a body wants to keep clean, but more than that, it’s the kind of kitchen that immediately makes itself at home in the room in which it resides. What most distresses me about American kitchens is the fact that they’re really just boxes with a choice of doors and drawer fronts. Seen one, seen ‘em all, pretty much. But that’s like pantyhose, right? One size does NOT fit all!

The kitchen is a place to prepare and cook food and, depending on the size, can be used to eat and entertain guests. Make your kitchen both friendly and functional with these creative decorating ideas. Proper lighting can enhance the design of any kitchen, as well as help create a safe and functional environment for cooking in your kitchen. Kitchen lights and fixtures are part of a good design or remodel plan.
The talented designers at Must Italia have successfully created an exquisite new kitchen arrangement combining both simplicity and elegance as one. Bringing a whole different ambiance for each design, all models have one main similarity in concept by using a range of woods and lacquered finishes with a strong personality — like solid wood with gold or silver sanding and gloss or matt horizontal grain ebony.

Open Kitchen Design- Kitchen Islands Ideas

English Lessons

Because the kitchen is open to the dining and living rooms, the homeowners chose a formal look that features painted cabinetry with inset drawers, beaded details, and glass knobs. At the far end, a built-in hutch holds dishware opposite the breakfast table.

Introducing a Classic

Straight-line cabinets with hefty hardware look solid and promise longevity. On the island, a built-in oven and plenty of storage sit below a unique butcher-block top made of maple and walnut in a checkerboard pattern.

Old World Functional

Furniture-like cabinetry and natural surfaces bring old-world style to functional design. A dramatic 14-foot-high copper hood rises over a professional cooktop on the kitchen’s island. Maple cabinets were stained dark and fitted with antique-look hardware and pulls.

Evolving Over Time

Unusual barn-plank cabinet doors offer a vintage, time-worn appearance to the kitchen. The functional island is newer and topped with practical butcher block.

Kitchen Recycled

The kitchen cabinetry is a freestyle gathering of recycled pieces, blended under and over a stone-look countertop. The salvaged store display case is home to a changing display of china and collectibles. It has been raised on furniture feet to normal counter height.

Fresh Vibe

A peninsula work area helps set off the baking area from the stove. The assertive color of the cabinets meant that the chartreuse could stand on its own on a fairly straightforward cabinet design.

Warm Green Kitchen

A tiled counter tops this island created with painted cabinetry in a soft shade of green. The cooktop was installed flush with the tile to make cleanup a breeze.

Three Crows for Roosters

A two-level island incorporates work areas, seating, wine storage, and display. The higher counter helps hide kitchen clutter from the adjoining room.
