Furnishing a rural kitchen: discover our tips
Everything you need to know about rural living
The rural living style is and remains one of the most popular living styles. The beauty about rural is that you don't have to live in a village or the country to bring this style into your home. For example, a rural living room radiates peace and warmth, even in the city.
Are you planning to decorate a country kitchen, or are you looking for inspiration for a future makeover project? Then quickly read on. In this blog we’ll take a closer look at rural kitchens.

What exactly is rural living?
If you aren’t completely familiar with the different living styles, the term in itself may cause some confusion. You won’t be the only one who thinks of farms, wooden support posts, a hundred-years old floor and a lot of retro in general. But is that right? Maybe to a small extent, but it’s far from the whole truth.
Rustic, cosy and calming. These are descriptions that match perfectly with the rural living style. In terms of materials, primal materials such as wood and stone are mostly used. These kinds of materials are ideal to bring back to your new rural kitchen.
Rural dining table
The dining table is one of the most prominent eye-catchers in the kitchen. If you intend to place your dining table close to your counter, it might be smart to carefully consider what you expect from the space. Tip: the countertop and the tabletop share a place in your kitchen when it comes to design. This makes for the ideal opportunity to match them perfectly, so everything forms one beautiful whole.
In our opinion, the ultimate rural dining table is the tree trunk table. At Table du Sud you can find two different types of tree trunk tables, both of which allow you to create some beautiful effects. There’s oak tree trunk tables and Suar tree trunk tables. Indonesian planks are used for the Suar tree trunk tables, truly unique tabletops made from one piece. Before you order your table, you can see exactly which planks we have in stock. That means you can literally choose the one that ends up in your home. Did that make you curious? Then read all about Suar here.
Matching chairs
Your new table will certainly steal the show, but don't lose sight of the dining chairs. These chairs offer a great opportunity to set accents within your space, especially with regard to the colours (more on that later). For example, a dining chair in a classic-looking leather upholstery could be a nice addition to your rural kitchen!
Colour
As mentioned, the rural living style matches well with materials such as wood and stone. If we focus on colours, we find a handful of them often appearing in rural living rooms and kitchens. These are colours such as grey, off-white, taupe and warm grey. Of course, it’s possible to colour outside the lines a bit. For example, think of a greyish blue, green, or pink.
In any case, the colours play an important role when you design your kitchen. Pay close attention to the lighting, as well. Is there a lot of sunlight in your kitchen? Then the colours come out in their purest form. However, this can affect the appearance. For example, a dining chair with dark grey upholstery can suddenly appear a lot lighter.
Extra tips
As you can see, the rural living style has a lot in store for you. Is this style not entirely what you’re looking for? Then become inspired by one of the other living styles such as Scandinavian, Japandi, modern, hotel chic or industrial. Every style offers something unique and at Table du Sud you’ll be sure to find the matching furniture!
