Country curtains can come in a variety of colors and patterns, though checkered patterns will definitely send the message that you are going for a country look. Deep blues, reds, and whites are also great for country kitchens, as the country look also tends to be a bit patriotic as well. Curtains in patterns that look like quilt work will also give your kitchen the charm and comfort of a country kitchen.

Even the hooks used to hold up the country kitchen curtains can add another element to the overall look. Hooks in country colors and in designs such as stars, hearts, pine cones, elks, and oversized buttons look great when paired with country curtains.

After determining the pattern and design that will be used for the curtains, the same pattern and design can be used for the placements and other kitchen linens. Or, other country patterns can be selected instead, so long as care is taken to make sure the varying patterns work nicely with each other and do not clash. Iron napkin holders molded into the shapes of birds, trees, animals and stars are great for creating a tidy appearance while maintaining country charm.

Country kitchen decorating can be further enhanced by selecting the right type of rug to place on the floor. Rugs make cooking and using the kitchen more comfortable on the feet while also helping to pull the room together from floor to ceiling. Country kitchen rugs can be found in the same types of designs and patterns as other kitchen linens. Woven rag rugs are ideal for country kitchen d'cor. Add a few pieces of your favorite country-inspired pottery throughout the kitchen and you will have a charming look that you will be sure to love!
