Are you thinking of kitchen furniture styles? There are more choices out there than you may think. Start by considering your kitchen's furniture. Tables, chairs, side tables, highboys, counters, cabinets and so on. No matter what kitchen style your design, there is kitchen furniture that will fit perfectly.

Here are a few of the many, many kitchen styles to choose from, plus some designer tips to help you complete your charming kitchen with appropriate kitchen furniture styles.

Cottage style kitchens draw their inspiration from the simple honesty of smaller, older homes built in the'20's. You will typically find cabinets made of wainscoting (beaded board) and clean, simple lines. Many kitchens use open shelving, windows with small panes, shutters, and wood flooring.

Functional, clean, simple lines typify a Shaker style kitchen. Cabinetry is often made of cherry, though other woods are also appropriate. One of our favorites is "reclaimed" or recycled wood -- wood that has been taken from an older building to be reused. You pay a little more for the craftsman's effort but you get instant antique cabinetry and kitchen furniture in the bargain.

Mission style kitchens and kitchen furniture found in them have a rectangular, solid aesthetic. Mission style features rectangular panels and natural wood finishes though original woodwork has usually be painted over long ago. Are you refurbishing an older mission style kitchen? If you are willing to put in the effort of removing old paint, you will be rewarded with the solid wood beneath. Mission style kitchen tables, chairs, and other furniture are available for kitchens. Similar styles include craftsman and arts and crafts kitchen furniture.

How about having a country style kitchen? These cheerful spaces are often typified by bright wallpaper -- plaid, gingham, striped, or checked. You will find chintz or calico window and wall treatments. Rather than glass, cabinet doors sometimes have pierced tin or even chicken wire. You may find exposed beams, and if so, all manner of antiques hanging on hand-forged nails are a nice touch. Country style kitchen furniture is clean, simple, and functional.

Perhaps your taste runs to contemporary. Your contemporary kitchen will have a Scandinavian flair with gleaming stainless steel and big cabinet hardware. Cabinet faces of frosted glass hint at the contents while avoiding a cluttered look.

We like rustic kitchens and kitchen furniture. Rustic kitchens have large, sturdy tables and chairs. Often, copper pots and pans, patterned tile and wrought iron provide charming accents. You will find rustic furniture can be rough-hewn or smooth with a patina acquired over time.

There are dozens more kitchen furniture styles because there are as many styles for the kitchen as for rest of the home. To find your perfect style, browse the internet, using search terms like "Kitchen Furniture Styles." We are absolutely certain you will be surprised at the sheer volume of the furniture styles available. Enjoy!
