53 Sensationally rustic kitchens in mountain homes (One Kindesign)

Creating a rustic kitchen in a mountain home creates a comfort and coziness that seems to warm up the brisk air from the surrounding outdoor environment. Worn, distressed, and rough-hewn, are not typically the first words that come to mind when we think of kitchens today. While crisp white cabinets, polished nickel hardware and beautiful marble countertops are on trend, a rustic kitchen will always provide the comfort of a piping hot bowl of chili and curling up with a hot chocolate on a cold night. More words that describe the look are well worn, patina, antiqued, homey and reclaimed. We have gathered together a cozy selection of rustic kitchens that will bring warmth and style to any mountain retreat.
