Rustic

When most people think about rustic, they think of the outdoors, being in the countryside, or being in rural areas. Rustic is defined by a design that looks natural, rough, and aged. If you were to visualise the look of a rustic home or design, there would be a lot of natural materials like wood or rock.

These materials are known for their vast variety of textures and warm appearance. Rustic kitchens are not something that you would just find in an old timey farm house anymore. The rustic look is becoming more and more popular and is definitely something you should consider for your kitchen if you want to stray away from the strong lines of a modern kitchen and have a homier environment.

 

Modern

Modern is everything in this day and age. In fact, what is considered modern is all down to the era that you are currently living in. At this point in time, modern has its own unique look that is defined by its seamless edges and pops of colour, simple style and natural beauty.

In a modern kitchen these days, you will find that people stay away from busy designs and try to keep things as simple as possible because of little embellishments such as fancy taps or handles on the cupboards.

Typically, the countertops will be quite empty and spacious, with sleek and simple surfaces like steel or plain stone. In a modern kitchen you will also find statement pieces like wooden chairs.

 

Minimalist

The idea behind a minimalist look is that less is more. With a minimalist mindset you can achieve so much with so little and have an incredibly sleek look to your kitchen without having to break the bank. In order to have a minimalist kitchen you need to make use of the simplest materials. A minimalist kitchen also contains nothing more than what you absolutely need. There are no details that are unnecessary and no fancy embellishments to make it look a bit more modern. The minimalist look is effortlessly sleek and beautiful.

 

Eclectic

If you have no idea what style you like or which style you might want to include in your kitchen, and are torn between different styles, then maybe having an eclectic kitchen is exactly what you're looking for. This eclectic design is basically a mash of all different designs combined together to create something that looks incredible.

If you don't know what you're doing with this kind of style, you could end up with a chaotic disaster on your hands, however, when you have the right idea, this kind of kitchen can look absolutely incredible with touches of rustic, modern, industrial, and so much more.

 

Country

One style that is becoming increasingly popular these days is the country style or farmhouse style. Similar to a rustic look in that it makes use of a lot of natural materials, a farmhouse kitchen is an intimate and cosy environment that makes use of colour, texture, and detail, and is full of decoration.

Making use of things such as woven baskets, displaying beautiful China sets, and even having vintage door knobs and taps is one of the key features to a county kitchen.

 

Industrial

Last but not least we have the industrial kitchen. This style doesn't look particularly cosy and inviting, but still comes across as charming and is a popular choice for younger people these days. Typically, in an industrial style kitchen you will find all neutral colours like white black and grey, open shelving, exposed structures and wiring, and concrete flooring.
