A country kitchen is special in that the doors are normally made of soft materials like wood, and the cabinets are normally painted. Often times you will see the kitchen cabinets have been painted, instead of the smooth gloss finish that you would find in a more modern kitchen. A country kitchen is normally the heart of the home, and often times you will see a family mingling around a big range cooker or Aga.
Country kitchens are not outdated, in fact they are wildly on trend (although country kitchen families are often not bothered by trends). A country kitchen often has an island or table, large enough to sit around and discuss the day.
