How to create a kitchen design in a wooden house?
Wooden house today is considered a great rarity. That is why the owners of such housing can only envy. Of course, the design of its interior has its own difficulties, because wood is a special material. However, the atmosphere that prevails in such a house can not be compared with anything. This is a special comfort, rapprochement with nature and a good rest from modernity. If we talk about the kitchen in a wooden house, then arrange it so that in the future it does not cause trouble, it is not so difficult.
General tips
The primary highlight of the kitchen in a wooden house will be the tree itself. It will be everywhere in the interior: on the floor, ceiling, walls, furniture. It would be just blasphemy to close it with modern materials. However, as practice shows, a room in which a tree is everywhere, quickly bored and, oddly enough, builds a not very joyful atmosphere. For the kitchen, the most popular place in the house, this can not be allowed.
Natural materials - stone, bamboo, cork - will be perfectly combined with wood in style and color. And for a smaller design leather, fur and coarse textiles are perfect. All this can be seen in the photo below.

Tip: wooden surfaces need special care. In the kitchen, it is important to maintain optimum humidity, since this material may, under certain conditions, rot or, on the contrary, shrivel and crack and crumble.
Choice for a big kitchen
Often, kitchens in private houses, be it a cottage or year-round housing, there is more room for interior design solutions. Surely the kitchen here will be much larger and more spacious than in high-rise buildings. This makes it possible to use a variety of styles, as well as to combine the kitchen with the living room, possibly using the whole first floor, creating the effect of a studio.
Perhaps the design of the kitchen in a wooden house is most often made in country style. And it is not surprising, because this style incorporates the best traditions of different nations of the world. If we talk about European country music, then it just gives priority to natural materials, and wood is in the first place there. The decision remains for the owner, he can choose from several types:
- Provence - the French version of the country, which is characterized by lightness and elegance, pastel colors, as well as wood and an abundance of textiles;
- English country - a fundamental style that implies good furniture, noble lines, beams on the ceiling and calm, but rich colors;
- Scandinavian country, in which wood plays the most important role, being present in the form of furniture, shutters, stairs and even dishes;
- Russian country, where everything is focused on simplicity and functionality.

Tip: the interior of a country-style kitchen will be perfectly decorated with flowers, better alive. They can be placed in vases on the windowsill and table, and hang dried bouquets on the walls.

The interior of the kitchen in a country-style wooden house is the best solution for today. Perhaps it will not take much effort to create it, because its main attribute, the tree, was originally laid by the builders. Other features include artificial aging of furniture and textures on the walls and floor, the presence of beams on the ceiling and shutters on the windows. Examples of such a decision can be seen in the photo.
Choice for a small kitchen
Owners of small kitchen hardly envy. However, this problem is solvable. It is important to avoid dark colors in the design or to resort to fundamental changes. For example, you can combine the kitchen with the living room. Of course, this will require special time and effort, such as redevelopment, communication, lighting processing and enhanced ventilation system. In addition, it is necessary to work with wood - the material is sometimes picky and fragile. However, all this will once be put in order, and in return in the house there will be a new, very spacious room that meets the modern fashion design trends.
In case the kitchen can be connected to the living room, new opportunities for experiments open up. You can divide the room with a bar, always wooden, stand, sofa or a large dining table. It will be interesting to use the lighting or the podium, which, by the way, can also be highlighted.

If redevelopment is not yet available, kitchen design in a wooden house can also look beautiful without using a living room. When creating an interior, you can resort to any of the classic or modern styles. Thanks to the light colors, the small kitchen will become more spacious. If you leave it completely wooden - it will be too boring and not quite comfortable. Therefore, the tree can be left fragmentary on the floor, on the walls, apply it on the countertops, be sure to lockers and chairs. The use of wood in modern kitchen interiors can be seen in the photo below.
At last
Wood is an amazing material. Kitchen with the use of such material will be fresh and comfortable. However, the design of the wooden kitchen has its own characteristics. This material is not as fire resistant as the others, and needs special care.
However, such a kitchen in combination with bright or, on the contrary, calm colors, can become a real paradise for its owners.
