I recently moved into a new home and would like to create a French country feel to my big kitchen. I have always adored that style and ambience and didn’t think twice about re-creating this look. The most important thing about crafting that unique flair is to pay attention to details. Color is a crucial element in French country kitchen design. Typically, the colors range from sunny yellow and soft gold to a burnt rust and dark hunter green. It is all supposed to conjure up the pastures of the French countryside and is very quintessentially French.
To help complete this look, you can go to Kitchen Island Shop’s online store and peruse their many kitchen islands. The best thing about them is that they carry a wide range of islands in all different styles and sizes. One particular kitchen island that is perfect for feigning the true French Country trait is called the "Drop Leaf Oak Kitchen Cart" and looks like it was taken out of a French villa. Finished with oak, this cart provides a drop leaf portion for the extra preparation space you require. Although the base is constructed out of a select hardwood and is properly dried to prevent warping and cracking, you can create that rustic French Country appearance by sanding or rough staining the cabinets on the island . Natural wood also composes the butcher block top and is incredibly durable to preserve the natural beauty and quality of the wood. All of these are only part of creating a French countryside kitchen but it’s undeniable that the kitchen island lends a great deal to the overall charm.
