15 Interesting Rustic Kitchen Designs

Before, when we hear rustic, we hear worn, distressed and rough-hewn; but today rustic kitchens rival the classic white kitchen in popularity, thanks to their timber, stone, brick, vintage appliances and fireplaces.

Rustic designs may be next to vintage for the most loved styles every generation have seen and pretty much enjoyed. We all know that reclaimed lumber and barn wood add warmth and history to any space it is decorated in.

Some Texan homes we see in magazines and in the internet embrace this warm and weathered look, with old barn wood lining cabinets, walls, as well as floorings.

Luckily for us, pieces made from reclaimed lumber are no longer hard to come by, no wonder designers and furniture makers love to work with this material. So, without further ado, let us check out the 15 Interesting Rustic Kitchen Designs below.

We love the dark color which completes this kitchen space – from the cabinets to the flooring; even the dark countertop makes the space prettier.
