The Shaker Style Country Kitchen Decor

These are the country kitchens that are stark and prim with all the allure of much of the minimalist styling but none of that metal coldness.  A clutterfree Shaker look practicality about it with all the charm of a more severe time where one doesn't flitter away good money for frills and lace.  Where restraint was a virtue and everything had to be multifunctional.  If you are someone who isn't into frills and flounces and hates clutter of any sort, then this is the style for you.

The French Provincial Country Kitchen

The French country kitchen is more elaborate in design and tends to have more ornate charm about it.  With an air of daring and fluted edges, it's country living but with flair as only the French will know it.  Classic styling and what's uniquely French Provincial is the washed finishes on furniture.  You can give your kitchen a French Provincial look merely by a lick of paint.

The Rustic Country Kitchen

This is what often comes to mind when someone mentions a country kitchen.  One with threaded garlic hanging off the shelves, lots of wicker baskets overflowing with goodies, quaint wooden ornaments that peep from every corner.  You could go really rustic and try log cabin type country kitchen complete with antler chandeliers and the lot or opt for a more farmhouse type kitchen with gingham and cheerful jam jars chock full of chutneys and preserves.
