Country kitchens

Framed shaker doors, soft colours and warm wood. A country kitchen, or traditional kitchen as many people call it, feels welcoming from the moment you walk in, and German engineering keeps it working beautifully for years.

Colours that make it work

Three colours that never go out of style in a country kitchen. Schüller’s shaker ranges come in all 29 of their lacquer colours, so we can match the shade you have in mind.

Classic white#F1EEE6

Classic whiteThe enduring favourite

White makes a country kitchen feel bright, open and fresh, even on a grey Welsh morning. It is the perfect backdrop for rustic touches like an oak worktop or open shelves, and it works just as well with modern appliances.

Soft grey#9A9D98

GreyWhere classic meets contemporary

Grey comes in many moods, from a pale dove grey to a deep anthracite. Lighter greys keep the room airy, while darker ones feel cosy and a little more modern. Both look lovely with wood, metal handles and stone worktops.

Sage green#9AA58C

Sage greenNature meets elegance

Sage green is a muted, earthy colour that brings the calm of the garden indoors. It sits naturally with warm wood and looks just as good with brass as it does with stainless steel.

Questions
Country kitchen FAQs

Short answers to what people ask us about country style kitchens.

What is a country style kitchen?
A warm, welcoming kitchen built around framed shaker doors, soft colours and natural materials like wood and stone. Many people call it a traditional kitchen. Today’s country kitchens mix that classic charm with modern storage and appliances.
What worktop goes with a country kitchen?
Solid oak and other warm woods are the classic choice, and they soften painted doors beautifully. Quartz or granite in a stone look is easier to look after, and many people use wood on the island and stone on the main runs.
Can a country kitchen have an island?
Yes. An island on legs looks like a piece of furniture and suits the style well, especially in a contrasting colour or wood. Your designer will check the room has enough space to walk round it on the 3D plan.
Which kitchen ranges suit a country style?
Framed shaker doors work best. Schüller Finca, Casa and Canto Satin all come in 29 satin lacquer colours, and Cremona brings in a natural oak look. Nobilia Cottage style and Natural living are great value alternatives. You can see door samples of every range in our Cardiff showroom.
How much does a country kitchen cost?
The style does not change the price much; the size of the room, the range and the appliances do. Complete kitchens with us start from £12k with Nobilia, and Schüller from around £13k. Try our kitchen price estimator for a guide.
