#8996. Elegant Mediterranean-style kitchen with solid wood island and beamed ceiling

This kitchen interior is a magnificent example of a modern interpretation of Mediterranean and Provençal styles in a country house. The space is organized around an impressive kitchen island with a warm solid wood countertop, creating a striking contrast with the white facades of the lower cabinets. The island not only serves as a functional work surface but also transforms into a social area thanks to bar stools with woven seats.

The ceiling is adorned with exposed wooden beams, adding structural expressiveness and warmth to the room. The metal chandelier with candle-like bulbs brings an element of rustic elegance while providing even illumination for the work area. The niche above the stove deserves special attention, lined with ceramic tiles arranged in an original diagonal herringbone pattern.

The design solution includes green glass demijohn bottles placed on the upper shelf, which add a color accent and reflect a vintage spirit. Windows with wooden frames allow natural light to fill the space and provide a visual connection with the exterior. Live plants and floral compositions in ceramic vases add life and freshness to the interior.

When designing the facade of a country house in a similar style, it's worth paying attention to the harmonious combination of natural materials - stone, wood, and plaster. You can use the same wooden window frames with muntins, stonework, and a neutral color palette to create a cohesive image.

The flooring made of natural stone or ceramic tiles that mimic stone emphasizes the authenticity of the design and ensures practicality. Woven baskets and other decorative elements made from natural materials add coziness and completeness to the space. This interior demonstrates the perfect balance between functionality, aesthetics, and the atmosphere of a welcoming country home.
