How to Decorate With White Appliances and Knotty Pine

Knotty pine is a rich and elegant lumber choice that provides a rustic feel to your home. If you have knotty pine accents and white appliances in your kitchen, there are some design ideas that you can follow to help them to work well together and provide a visually pleasing design theme.

• Knotty pine is a rustic type of wood that provides the feel of a country rustic theme. For this reason it is a good idea not to bring in modern elements into your kitchen that has white appliances and knotty pine.


• Use colors that will not compete with the knotty pine accents in your kitchen. Neutral colors will work best and allow the white appliance and knotty pine to accent each other perfectly without having to compete for visual impact.


• Use paint that has a matte, flat or eggshell finish when painting a room that has white appliances and knotty pine accents. A paint that has a high sheen will not blend will in a room with rustic knotty pine.


• Consider bringing in circular items into your design theme to compliment the circles in your knotty pine. These circular elements will help to tie it all together. Circular rugs and placemats in white are a great choice for a kitchen with white appliances and knotty pine.


• Keep with the design with your flooring choices. You should either use white flooring with a circular pattern, plain white flooring, or choose hardwood or laminate flooring in the same wood tone as your knotty pine.


• Use blues and light purples if you want to introduce color into the space. Both of these color choices will complement the color of your knotty pine, as well as the rustic country charm that knotty pine offers to your rooms design theme.
