Little cuisine does not mean that fantasy there will be no place to turn around! The only rule that should always be observed in the design of a small kitchenette (however, all the other rooms of a small volume) - not to create "overload" in the amount of furniture and decor elements in the interior inherent in the design of the design. This is especially a warning concerns vintage, stylized on the revival of past eras and traditions of design projects. For example, a small cuisine in the country style.
Necessary interior elements
The word "Country" wakes up memories of endless prairies, courageous cattle-cowboyes, hidden sidles, long lasso, widespread hats, colts and a simple house - Ranch without frills.
Such people lived in simple houses stacked from stone and wood, sat on strong, solid chairs and stools for simple, heavy tables, their furniture was generally devoid of any fringe jewelry. They prepared food and ate her from brass, copper and bronze dishes, rested on roughly shot down beds covered with patchwork blankets, and the role of a luxurious carpet in their house often performed the usual woven track or animal skins.
All these details of the interior, furniture, even if there are somewhat modified in the direction of "polivivity" in favor of our time, today they constitute the main elements of the country style, strictly observed when working out the design. The same required country attribute, like harsh furniture in the interior and beams on the ceiling, protrudes and the focus - a furnace or fireplace with a living fire, creating an atmosphere of romanticism with a complete absence of luxury.
Walls
For walls in the Kitchen Country, you can also use only wallpapers, stylizing their natural accessibility: stone, tree, horizon, rattan, coarse plaster and multi-layer whitewashes. Decorative surplus in the form of stucco, mural and glossy tile are simply inappropriate. The walls are the background, which "superimposes" the rest of the interior, which includes furniture and uncomfortable country style decorations, it means that the walls must be neutral.
Of course, their neutrality does not mean that it is impossible to use wallpaper! Moreover, just wallpaper, imitating fragments of brick or stone masonry, wallpaper "under a brica", wallpaper "A la lubricated plaster", wallpaper for duch or tight fabric - a very valuable acquisition for further development in the interior of the selected style! From the "fabric" patterns ideally, wallpapers with a pale floral pattern, strip or cell that do not beat the color saturation are suitable. Good colors for walls - wallpaper with a drawing "Burlakov", "straw mats", "small sitherge". Fortunately, all these wallpapers are not uncommon in stores.

Accents
It is advisable to put one and walls of the kitchen "under the brick" or "under the stone" clinker tiles. In a small kitchen - small accents. The wall does not need to lay out from the ceiling to the floor, just above the middle, capturing the dining table zone, part of the window and part of the inlet opening, where the living room. If the small kitchen "courtyard" enters the total area, then the kitchen-lounge can combine a wooden veneer in the zone of the table and the tile in the work area.
Tip! The perfect version of the kitchen apron for Country - a tile in the style of "Patchwork", as if tiny pieces of colored glass "stitched" into a single canvas.
Floors
The perfect floor for living room and cuisine in country style - wooden. But wooden floors are extremely impractical for the kitchen! We are looking for a way out in those materials that will help create the effect of a clean or painted tree.
If it is a linoleum, then it is necessary with a pattern of rudely treated boards: stains of darkened wood, bitch, obviously appearing wood fibers. To laminate, the requirements are the same, plus - no varnish! Laminate dies should be without brilliance, enough "wax" coating. Parquet in the kitchen stylized under the ranch, even in a modern country house - in general nonsense. But the patterned tile or tile, carrying a pattern of stone or the rammed clay - a real find for a home designer!
Ceiling
Ceiling - White a priori. Dark wooden beams under the ceiling can be simulated from drywall, decker board and MDF. In addition to the stylistic load in the interior (emphasising the "simple" style), they also play the role of an increase in space: stretched along the ceiling - will make a small kitchen visually longer, laid across - expand its area. Given that all the proposed false beams are hollow from the inside, you can place wires and pipes there, and you can embed point lights.

Tip! Have a natural tree? Do not forget to "range" with special coatings. In the house of the cowboy, clean the beams from the soot did not occur to anyone!
Country combination with Provence
Since the interior of the country is inherently vintage-rustic style, then easily compatible with any other rustic styles. So, the "French Provence" style will easily fit into the Country Ranch style. Graceful Provence will give a special lavender taste to the wild west, makes it possible and subtly let off the deliberate rudeness of the cowboy dwelling. By the way, they have a lot of common: patchwork mats, tapestries and bedspreads, everything that Handmade can be called is everything that is done with your own hands and serves for the convenience and decoration of the kitchens and living rooms in the house.
Provence in combination with the classic country is extremely flexible and practical. Such a kitchen, absolutely devoid of urban gloss and french bourgeois, will become not only a place to prepare and absorb food. It will be a kitchen-living room with the most simplified setting, where the furniture is not an end in itself, but only a means of relaxing in this interior.
Additions in the interior
Provence will quickly turn the brutal setting of a cowboy ranch in a cute, cozy living room, thanks to the abundance of kitchen textiles: tablecloths, towels, lace capes and a variety of napkins, embroidered pads and dried bouquets-sachets with spicy, light fragrances of meadow herbs.
All furniture should be made of wood with a variety of open shelves. They are located spices, plates, jars with crop. Such kitchen is easy to learn on the hood. It is a huge, slightly darkened, but perfectly fits into the overall vintage image of the room. Living-kitchen in the style of Provence is furnished with natural wood furniture of any light shade. They decorate such attributes by carvings, platinum inserts or painting. The living room must necessarily include a rocking chair, a massive buffet, a round table and a fireplace.
Tip! As for the color design, the kitchen-living room in the style of Provence should be performed in soft pastel colors: beige, white, milk, cream. The same color should be the upholstery of furniture.
Changes will affect not only furniture, but also dishes. The workshops of the porcelain in the form of vases, thin plates and touching figures from Faians, as in any French living room, will be added to heavy ceramics and bite copper skils and caulters in the interior. The boilers and pots studied to the brilliance will take their places in perfectly at the hearth, and their place in the old lounge buffet will be filled with "grandmother" cups, saucers and coffee services with elegant painting on rounded sides.

Curtains
Curtains for the cuisine in the country style are two straight panels, most likely a coarse monophonic canvase. Provence makes changes in the interior. Now it is painted flax or cheerful shorts in peas, a flower or a plaid cage, necessarily burned along the edges and with cute lace inserts, ruffles, tulle and lambrequins.
Tip! The same solar curtains with soft frequent folds should be closed furniture.
Chandeliers and light
Life in the country ranch implies natural lighting and only from a small chandelier in the form of a lamp, low hanging over the dinner table. Kitchen-living room in the style of Provence provides for the presence of chandelier over the table, a working area and a separate backlight of the headset.
At the same time, you should not forget that Country is still a vintage style. Therefore, the chandelier "under the candelabra", the chandelier "under ancient", bronze, adhesive and brass devices will be perfectly fit here.
If the chandelier lamp is closed with glass, then let it glass be matte and opaque. The chandelier, made in the form of a lampshar or a wicker basket, will decorate its kind kitchen not only in the evenings, but also a white day.
The chandelier with multiple pelfons in retro-style is a real gift for a small kitchen combined with the living room. The chandelier in the form of an old kerosene lamp on a long chain will draw out a light circle on the table.
The chandelier "barn lamp" will strengthen the feeling of vintage relative to the retro ranch. I managed to get a high floor lamp on a wooden leg with lampshane "A la 30th"? Boldly put it in the headboard of your beloved chair - it is a zone of special heat.
Important! In the kitchen interior made in the style of Country Provence, all the objects of the "male" destination (furniture, mugs, napkins, etc.) must be performed in deliberately rough, slightly even enlarged form, but female - on the contrary, should cause a feeling of fragility and refinement. .
