This may be the most challenging part of designing your Gold Coast or Brisbane country kitchen. You must select the colour palette which will set the feel for your kitchen.

- Blues.
- Yellows.
- Whites and creams.
- Brick reds.
- Pastel greens.
- Olive tones.
- Shades of orange.

To really set off your Gold Coast or Brisbane country kitchen you should consider installing some retro appliances. The look and style associated with some of the new retro look ovens will make a real impact to your kitchen design.
It is also important to consider the power of brass or copper faucets in your country kitchen. These will bring a sense of elegance and can be complimented by an apron style or larger sized basin sink.
Your use of a feature range hood will also bring some country charm to your kitchen space. You can have an artistic wooden one or your could opt for a retro copper look, either way it will become a feature of your country design.
A country kitchen would not be complete without the addition of a suspended saucepan rack. Selecting just the right style is important as you want it to add some artistic flair above your island.

fARM STYLE FEATURES
Let's begin where we left off...islands. All country kitchens need a well placed island. This is where you will feature your suspended saucepan rack or fancy pendant lights and where you can showcase any country inspired decor, fresh cut flowers, and displays of organic fruit and vegetables.
Another kitchen design aspect to consider is whether to have separate cabinetry. Mismatched and freestanding items can produce a feel of homeliness adding to the country appeal.
