Are you moving into a brand new house? Maybe you are redecorating your present kitchen. Either way, if you have decided to go with a country theme, from choosing the right wallpaper to buying a copper vessel sink, here are some ideas that might help you to design something unique, practical and attractive.

The Wall Treatment - Think of starting your country kitchen plan by selecting a country look for your walls. One consideration is to select a wallpaper that has things like old-fashioned children or farm animals as part of the design. A gingham design would also be a great choice for wallpaper.

Another idea is to faux paint your walls to make them look like old brick or old boards. If you want to do the faux painting yourself, think of going to a class that is offered at a paint store. Does your local library offer craft classes? If so, find out if there is a faux painting class on the schedule. 

The Flooring - Again, think about faux painting your kitchen floor. Give it the look of wooden boards or even the look of an old pebble or cobblestone street. The great part about faux painting cement is that the look will probably get even better with time. 

Of course, you can also choose something like tile or actual wood for a country kitchen. Both materials are affordable and easy to care for.

Special Touches - Don't you think that it's often the extra touches that set the mood in a room? Consider selecting a copper vessel sink for your country kitchen. Doing so will give the room the country look you are wanting to establish, and it will also be something that will make the room unique, maybe even add a bit of a contemporary look to your country kitchen. Copper sinks are affordable and come in many different styles. Think of getting a free-standing sink for a bit of extra drama.

Think of finding antiques for your kitchen like a table and chairs. Add interest to the setting by choosing mismatched chairs, all with a country look. Wood would be perfect. Another idea for your kitchen table and chairs is to select unpainted furniture and then paint them in a country color like denim blue or brick red. Add a country looking hutch to complete the look and decorate the hutch with things like old cookbooks, pottery, and farm animal collectibles.
