The Rustic Look Is Always In Fvour For Kitchens

Although kitchen trends change with the


times , there


is one that remains an ever


popular choice to create a cosy, timeless look in your home.


A rustic look is one that, if done properly, will last for


years and give the heart of your home a warm, welcoming feel . If you do not want to change your


existing units , just give them an update with a coat of paint in


cream or white , then get the look with the addition


of chic accessories, like beautiful scented candles such as the ones manufactured by Yankee candles. You could even splash our on a range-style cooker


for a stunning focal point . What other things can


be done to create the right atmosphere? 1.


Freshen up wooden chairs with


attractive seat cushions, which have removable, washable covers . 2. Splash


out on stone or terracotta floor


tiles for a timeless look that will not date. 3.


A filter tap with a traditional design combines the latest technology with


classic appeal. 4. Choose a large ceramic


sink which is the ultimate in country chic. 5. A few carefully


picked accessories, like a few beautiful scented candles in rich shades


, will provide the perfect finishing touch to your scheme , particularly something made by True Grace candles or Yankee candles. 6. Why not pick up a dresser or cupboard at a second-hand shop or furniture auction and update it to suit your new scheme? 7. A retro clock would add a stylish touch


on a shelf or a window sill .  8. Choose real oak for a hardwearing surface


that will last for years to come.  9. A


wooden floor will provide the perfect base for your new look. 10. Serve up a


cuppa on this pretty tray with wooden handles. 11. Acacia wood is ideal for a


rustic scheme. Each one varies in colour and appearance, making it unique and


individual. 12. Use natural materials wherever possible - wood, slate, granite


and stone may be more expensive than their lookalike counterparts, but will


last for years longer and give a really authentic look.
