It is simply amazing that the fashion is cyclic, including designer fashion. That, which it would seem goodbye to, forever, since it is outdated, quickly finds its way back to the list of the most relevant trends. What can we do with human nature - people hate monotony and long for constant changes. Stone walls fit perfectly into the category of design elements, after a break, returning to the top steps of the pedestal of popularity.
Not so long ago, everyone strove for flawlessly smooth surfaces and ultra-modern finishes, but today they prefer a contrast of textures and originality of interior design. Industrial style became commonplace, and stone walls moved from the street to stunning bathrooms and cozy bedrooms.
Today we will see 30 magnificent kitchens that amaze with the rustic charm of their stone walls, making it easy to combine modern ergonomics and multifaceted aesthetics. Neither the style of the space, nor its color scheme is an obstacle, as designers have found ways to fit a stone wall into the interior of a wide variety of kitchens. Take a cup of your favorite drink, relax and enjoy!
Elegant modern kitchens
We start with the most unexpected option - a combination of a stone wall with a modern style of interior decoration. This merger is able to turn heads, creating a bewitching, focusing attention center in the most ordinary kitchen. You can bring a stone wall into an already formed modern interior - it will just be a contrasting accent. But the kitchen with existing stone walls can be turned into a real masterpiece, which is equally achievable with the help of an interesting island table, properly selected furniture and modern lighting.

Rustic Kitchens
When you think about the possible options for finishing the kitchen with stone, the first thing that comes to your mind will be country style. In such kitchens, a stone wall is an accentuating addition to the natural background, it strengthens, emphasizes the already formed style of space. The stone walls with rough finishes and deliberately sloppy masonry are well suited to the rustic style, while the kitchen benefits greatly from the background in warm colors. The right choice of stone is very important, since the latter not only dictates the style and color scheme of the kitchen, but also determines how dark or light the space as a whole will look.

Wood and stone is a duet, which is a win-win option for a kitchen in a country house. The mood in the kitchen is most likely to be created by wooden cabinets, an island table, bar stools and open shelves, rather than the background of the stone wall in itself. As a rule, the darker the natural stone you choose, the lighter the wooden elements adjacent to it should be, which will ensure the perfect balance!

Accent line
Using only one stone wall as an accentuating element allows you to enjoy the elegance of the stone without disturbing too much the modern atmosphere of the room. Those who did not dare to build a wall made of natural stone can resort to a much cheaper alternative - decorating the kitchen with decorative stone.
