- 1). Paint your walls with earth tones or warm, rich colors, such as mustard yellow, rustic reds, taupe, sage green or eggplant. These hues give kitchens a warm, rustic ambiance.
- 2). Use a faux finishing kit on your kitchen cabinets to give them an antique look or install vintage-looking cabinets. If you have a wooden kitchen table and chairs, you can also refinish them with a distressed look.
- 3). Add touches of wrought-iron throughout the kitchen--artwork or cooking implements or handles and knobs on cabinets--to give it the look of Tuscan kitchens. If you have an eat-in kitchen or breakfast nook, use a small wrought-iron dining set.
- 4). Choose earthenware dishes and pottery with colorful borders to reflect Tuscan style.
- 5). Place pillar candles with faux stone or wood candle holders on your table or kitchen island as centerpieces. Light the candles when you are enjoying coffee or a meal with friends or family.
- 6). Consider stone or decorative tile flooring. Install decorative tile with bold artwork as a back splash. A design of grapevines or flowers gives the kitchen a homey, Tuscan charm.
- 7). Decorate the kitchen areas with grapes and grapevines, wine bottles or vegetables like artichokes or pomegranates. Or purchase artwork portraying these subjects to create a rustic appeal.
