I like the traditional kitchen , but I wouldn't describe it as that, it has a slightly industrial feel. The colours are fabulous, but it's definitely contemporary / industrial.

The country kitchen is nice, but the floor spoils it as it doesn't go with the rest of the wood on show.

Neither one depict a rustic kitchen in my view. I'd call this one Rustic,

We took a few images from the Houzz catalogue under the country and rustic categories to support our question -I do agree that the image you have provided is more rustic but also very traditional.

I loom at Turkish design. There is a brilliant house that is 150 years old opposite our apartment that our friends used to own. On the outside its about 3 stories tall with a roof terrace with a pool. Inside it has a balcony in the middle of it so when you are on the terrace you can look down to the ground floor. It is super-modern inside and he could control practically his whole house my his iphone - from air con to lights! Whenever I am refurbishing my house i always think back to his house.

Hi. I think I'd go for the darker green on all walls as from memory you said the room was really light. Personally I wouldn't have the tv on the panelled ŵall as its your feature ŵall and the tv will stand out if you're going for green. Hang the tv above the sideboard on the left hand ŵall. Add table lamps either side of the tv so it conceals the leads. Pull both sofas out from the walls a little. Add the chair where the stove is but not pushed into the corner so it has space behind it. You could try the ladder towards the rhs of the panelled ŵall and move the floor lamp to where the small sideboard is. I'd paint the sideboard charcoal as it will have more impact than the current grey ( although that will still look good) against the green and then add just a couple of grey cushions. Maybe a modern pendant for the ceiling. I don't think it will be too cluttered, you are losing bigger pieces. What is next to the sideboard though as that looks a little cluttered? Do practice with the new sideboard though before you buy the chair so you can see how much space there is

Country and rustic looks are less polished and softer looking than sharp contemporary interiors but they are different from each other. Rustic is characterised by well worn natural materials and things that have been repurposed. For rustic looks you often see exposed stone, peeled paint, upcycled objects. For me rustic spaces tend to have industrial proportions - like barns.

A country look is softened by the colour palate, and tends to be more decorative than a contemporary looks. Smaller spaces can be country (although of course larger ones can be too. Because this look tends to be more decorative this is where you might see pretty wallpaper and soft furnishings and ephemera as well as natural materials, traditional styles, painted finishes and extra detailing such as tongue and groove

If those two examples are what you've been analysing, I'd say you need to do a bit more research.

There are rustic elements in country style decor, so i don’t think you can choose either/or.
