Causal Country kitchens usually include the real homey look of checks, patchwork, chickens, cows, fruits and vegetables in rustic designs. Cabinets are often painted wood in barn-red hues. Distressed finishes and crackle glazes are also popular in the country kitchen design.

A formal Country kitchen differs a good bit from the more casual country design. The lines are cleaner and simpler, and clutter is kept to a minimum in the formal country kitchen. White and cream colors are favored in the formal country design. Beaded panels, crown molding, and glass front doors also add to the more formal look.
