A Natural Kitchen to Complement Your Gardensubmitted on 10 October 2014
Today, the one of the most in vogue home owner trends is to make their kitchen look as glossy and sleek as possible. It is, however, possible to make your kitchen elegant, warm, vibrant and stylish without following this particular trend. Rustic kitchens are actually in fashion in a big way too. Have you thought of giving your kitchen a country-style design. This can work great if your kitchen overlooks a nice rustic feeling garden.
Some Things to Consider
A ‘natural’ kitchen will, naturally, incorporate ‘natural’ materials. Think about using real woods and natural stone. These can have naturally soft textures, and also imperfections, but then there is sometime perfection in imperfection. They create a rich, deep and subtle aesthetic.
With natural materials you can create a kitchen space that is inviting, has character and an ageless quality. This will help you bridge the gap between your kitchen as a work place and your kitchen as a place where you can relax and unwind. Using natural materials in a building helps foster a calm and relaxing environment; an environment you can relax in even when you really don’t ‘need’ to be in the kitchen. It is difficult to create a kitchen with such allure using the materials that come flat packed with a B & Q kitchen. Why not take a look through our kitchen suppliers section?
You can choose
Contrary to what many think, using natural materials doesn’t mean you have to be limited in your style. The portfolio of kitchens from Miketaylorbespokekitchens.co.uk in Surrey is testimony to the fact that you can make the most unexpected material/style combinations work like a dream.
When adding contemporary styles to natural kitchen designs, you could consider going with Pewter and britannium door furniture. You could also use lighter shades for your cabinet colour, as these combine well with natural stone floors. The colours are earthy and natural and so they will further enhance that timeless classic look. The main reason you should stay away from bolder colours is because you enter into the high risk realm of dating. Neutral and natural tones are the best colours to stick with when designing your natural kitchen.
Bring in Your Flowering Friends
Another great tip to move your kitchen closer to your garden is to bring in natural or artificial plants. If you are going ‘artificially natural’ in this area look around your garden to choose artificial plants to match what you have there. If you are going ‘naturally natural’ consider how big the plants will grow, and try and avoid plants that make mess.
Natural kitchen designs are becoming more popular. Jump on Pinterest kitchen design pages, and surf around to see what other people have done. A bespoke kitchen designer can take ideas that you like, and bring them together in a unified design, where seemingly disparate themes end up complementing each other. You will be amazed what a skilled and experienced designer can do to your kitchen.
