You’ve probably heard “rustic” a million or more times when describing home decor, but it’s one of those styles that can be hard to pin down. So what does it mean to have a rustic-style home or kitchen? Well, you don’t need to live in a log cabin—you just need to put emphasis on the natural and the organic. If you want to add a rustic touch to your kitchen, repainting your cabinets is a really simple way to achieve the look. Here are some paint colors to consider:
- Creamy White: What doesn’t beautifully match creamy white!? It pairs well with natural materials like hardwood floors and stone counters and adds a rustic homey feel to any kitchen.
- Moody Blue: Pairing blue cabinets with a weathered gray farmhouse table and marble countertops creates a quintessential rustic style.
- Calming Gray: A gray neutral can refresh your kitchen while still creating a cozy atmosphere.
- Soothing Green: Repainting your cabinets in a warm green brings nature indoors and pairs well with light-colored countertops.
- Dramatic Black: Black cabinets make a statement and add a rich, elegant feel to your kitchen.
- Accent Cabinets: This isn’t a specific color, but consider just painting your kitchen island as an accent piece instead of all of your cabinets.
- Antique Finishes: Glazing or antiquing your cabinets can give them a distressed, aged look that adds depth and charm to your kitchen.
- Wood Stains: Staining your hardwood cabinets can bring out their natural beauty and warmth, adding a rustic touch to your kitchen.
In addition to repainting, you can also add rustic touches to your kitchen through larger investments like a copper hood or faux wood beams, or more cost-effective options like kerosene lamps, woven baskets, copper cookware, or pastoral art. Choose fixtures in copper, antique brass, or oil-rubbed bronze for added rustic charm.
