How can I make my kitchen look rustic?
A kitchen mainly consists of cabinets, a backsplash, countertops, and other complementary fixtures that define the overall look. And to make a kitchen look rustic, you can play with one or two of these elements. While doing so, what you need to bear in mind is the unpretentious material use and incorporation of elements that suggest a lived-in look. Distressed-looking or weathered cabinets, mosaic floors, sand-swept floorings, terracotta backsplashes, hexagon or herringbone pattern terracotta floor tiles, wooden exposed beams, and wood floating shelves are some of the defining features of rustic kitchens.
If you want to enrich the look with small and sophisticated additions, you can consider library ladders, shiplap-clad walls, apron-front sinks, wicker baskets, and pecky cypress islands. If you have new items that you don’t like, you can give them a faux-aged look that will change the vibes of the kitchen immediately. Or you can repurpose old items with a bit of imagination. For example, you can transform farming funnels into lighting fixtures and make a reclaimed wood island or use old silver spoons as your new cabinet hardware. Another design technique is to mismatch items. It is something you can particularly do with counter stools to add some color.
In short, focus on the natural materials that develop a patina over time and incorporate wood, stones, and brick that will make your design akin to nature. Try to suggest a sense of randomness rather than creating something that looks organized and in order.
Rustic Stone Backsplash for White Cabinets
Rustic stone backsplashes are great additions if you want to create a sense of coziness and build depth into the space. As no stone piece is the same, they ensure diversity, coming with their irregular shapes and imperfections.
Rustic stone backsplashes create a well-balanced look with white cabinets. If you want to get a rustic stone backsplash without ending up with a cave-like atmosphere, white cabinets will be your solution. Can you think of anything better than whitewashed stone backsplashes for white cabinets to bring the design together? If you want the stone backsplash to feel like a singular body with white cabinets, you can whitewash the stone backsplashes.
Yet, one thing to keep in mind is that stone backsplashes demand materials, requiring regular sealing. It is not easy to clean them especially if you have a stacked one, which will even guide grease and spills to find their way into the nooks and pores of the stones.

Recently, there has been a shift in how white cabinets are perceived, and for some, all-white looks and white cabinets started to feel outdated and soulless. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that white kitchens are out of style. Recontextualizing white kitchens with the right amount of contrasts, complementary elements, and colorful additions will give the space the necessary personal touches and nuanced details to make for an exciting look. For example, in rustic kitchens, wood, stone, and brick backsplashes along with other rustic elements redefine the space.

Design is sometimes related to telling a story. It can be about the house, the surrounding environment, the homeowner, or all of them. So, it all depends on how you want to reinterpret the space. Even if you want it white, as long as you bring something personal, it should start to feel complete and start a dialogue with the rest of the home, guests, and the homeowners.
