It might appear that these are two opposing styles of design but, in fact, a modern,  minimal kitchen with pure, functional lines perfectly matches the rustic, country look with its natural and organic elements. The beauty is that you don’t have to live out in the country or give your holiday home a makeover to enjoy this style. A well thought-out rustic kitchen can work well in an urban setting and look elegant and very contemporary. 

Use honest, unpretentious materials 
Untreated or painted reclaimed wood
Extractor hoods, stoves and sinks that make a statement
Worktops made from or inspired by stone
A new life for old furniture
Decorating country strong
Industrial pairings
