If you want to have a rustic design for your kitchen, there are a lot of ways this can be done with natural wood finishes. The cabinets are one of the areas where you may want to do things to give your kitchen design a rustic look. The following rustic wood cabinet design ideas will give your kitchen a warm and cozy feeling:

Types of Wood Finishes for Rustic Cabinets

The types of wood finishes are some of the first options that you want to consider for rustic cabinet designs. There are several options for wood finishes that can be used for the rustic cabinets in your new kitchen. Some of the options for wood finishes that you may want to consider for a rustic cabinet design include:

  • Rustic pine cabinets with a light oil finish
  • Hardwoods like walnut for interesting wood grain patterns
  • Cherry and tropical hardwoods for red tones

The cabinets can be made out of solid wood materials, or you may want to consider options like reclaimed lumber and veneers.

Choosing the Rustic Cabinet Details and Trim

Wood cabinets can also have trim and other details that are built into them. These details can be part of the doors, or they can be features on panels and in other areas of the cabinets. Some rustic trim and design details you may want to do include:

  • Simple square frame details around doors
  • Shaker-style doors and details
  • Panels with louvers or visible vertical slabs

The details you add to with trim and other features can enhance the design of your wood cabinets with attractive profiles.

Adding Rustic Hardware and Trim to Cabinets

The hardware you install with your wood cabinets is another area where you can create a rustic look. This can be more than just the normal hardware like handles on doors. Some of the options for rustic hardware and accents for  your wood cabinets include:

  • Ironwork around the frame of the cabinet
  • Iron handles and hinges
  • Iron brackets and decorative details

The ironwork and other metal features can add just the right details to give your cabinets a rustic look.

Extra Pieces and Features for the Rustic Cabinets

In addition to the conventional cabinets that you install in your kitchen, you may want to add extra pieces to the design. Some of the options for extra pieces to add to your wood cabinets include:

  • Kitchen islands with a mobile design
  • Standalone cupboards with a classic design
  • Tables for dining or breakfast nooks with a rustic design

The extra pieces can be standalone furniture that is custom-made to match your cabinets. This can enhance the rustic appearance of your new kitchen design.

The wood cabinet designs can be used in a rustic design, but they can also be used to add natural tones to a modern design. Contact a wood cabinet installer to ask about some of these options for your kitchen remodeling project.

Leaking Roofs and Roof Repairs

My name is Debbie Greenberg. I’m a single woman who owns her home, and like most homeowners I dread home repairs. I’m not very handy with do-it-yourself projects around the house. I can do a few minor repairs when necessary, but for the most part I have to call in a professional. Last year I had a leak in my roof. When it rained, water would leak into my kitchen. What appeared to be a simple fix turned out to be anything but simple. It took over four months to finally identify the problem, and double the money I was initially quoted to fix it. The problem ended up being that the flat part of my roof didn't have shingles, but a sheeting material. I learned a bit about home roofs along the way, and that is what I want to share with you.
