British Country Kitchen Ideas To Inspire You
What first comes to mind when you think of a British country kitchen? Maybe it’s the Weasley’s kitchen in Harry Potter, with its nostalgic cosiness: bric-a-brac and trinkets lining the shelves, knitted jumpers slung over a chair, a cup of tea with the teaspoon stirring independently.
For us, the perfect country kitchen is precisely when it’s not perfect. It’s laissez-faire, full of collectables, stories and memories all crammed together in a beautifully chaotic way. It’s spending most of the winter drinking cups of tea after sitting on the floor by the Aga, with a tea towel drawn down so you don’t completely burn your back. It’s a mish-mash of Emma Bridgewater cups, that Sports Direct mug you don’t know what to do with, and a dog bed you probably need to put in the wash. But then it’s all balanced with the beautiful: assembling intriguing antiques and collectables on a dresser that truly expresses you.
Consider this your starting point to get you thinking about what style of a British country kitchen may be for you.
