Country Kitchen Design Styles

When thinking of country kitchens, we get warm fuzzy feelings. They embody cosyness, comfort, and the slower country life so many of us are craving. They may remind you of the smell of freshly baked bread from grandma, or gathering with the family for the Sunday roast. Country kitchen have a very special charm. But what exactly makes the style? Within the ‘country’ genre, there’s a few styles that are particularly popular on Houzz - namely modern/contemporary and french. Let’s look at them in a bit more detail.

Modern and Contemporary Country Styles

When it comes to modern country kitchens, there seems to be a movement of bringing the country feel into modern spaces. Strictly speaking though, the modern(ist) style couldn’t be more different to country. Straight lines and clean, minimalist touches often make for a cool atmosphere. No wonder so many people want to warm their modern homes up and bring in a little of the cosy country feel! The more accurate term for this is ‘contemporary’ though, which is more about what’s ‘modern’ at the current time, rather than ‘modernism’ which is a design movement from the early 1900s.

French and English Designs

French country kitchens on the other hand are a very distinct style that incorporates lots of wood elements, quirky and whimsical tiling and an old-school feel that reminds of castles from the middle ages. You’ll also find welded metal elements and exposed brick a lot. Sometimes it even borders towards what you can find in the English countryside, with chandeliers and copper pots and utensils. Generally you’ll find European country kitchen styles similar but each of them comes with their own quirks. Have a browse and see which of them resonate with you!

So go ahead, scroll through our thousands of photos and collect ideas. You’ll also see which designer has done the kitchens you’re saving, so if you find yourself saving from the same designer again and again, consider reaching out to them for a quote. Otherwise our directory of home renovation professionals makes it easy to find someone local to help.

Country kitchen in Brisbane with a farmhouse sink, shaker cabinets, black cabinets, white splashback, stainless steel appliances, medium hardwood floors, with island, brown floor and white benchtop.
Front Porch Properties, Brae Homestead
By Intrim Group Pty Ltd

Rachael Turner founded her company Front Porch Properties to follow her greater passion for renovation and design. This Coorparoo, Queensland home was a massive renovation! The original Queenslander was raised up and used as the second story and the home was built out into a magnificent American style home. There is a heavy American barn / farm house influence with a twist of feminine which is just perfection. Intrim supplied SK12 Skirting & CR22/IN23 for wainscoting.

The Barn
By Paul Uhlmann Architects

This residence was designed to be a rural weekend getaway for a city couple and their children. The idea of ‘The Barn’ was embraced, as the building was intended to be an escape for the family to go and enjoy their horses. The ground floor plan has the ability to completely open up and engage with the sprawling lawn and grounds of the property. This also enables cross ventilation, and the ability of the family’s young children and their friends to run in and out of the building as they please. Cathedral-like ceilings and windows open up to frame views to the paddocks and bushland below. As a weekend getaway and when other families come to stay, the bunkroom upstairs is generous enough for multiple children. The rooms upstairs also have skylights to watch the clouds go past during the day, and the stars by night. Australian hardwood has been used extensively both internally and externally, to reference the rural setting.
