15+ Exceptional Farmhouse Kitchen Ideas For Your Home
Farmhouse kitchens are enjoying a major revival these days with the popularization of wellness trends that focus on reclaiming natural materials, unpretentious design, and cooking spaces that can accommodate large meals. Some of the favored elements of farmhouses have trickled down into urban interior design, like the use of textured materials and warm tones, creating an amalgam of sleek and homey design choices in a myriad of different spaces. After all, everyone wants to open up their kitchen space, install a barstool, and watch over their family while they cook dinner.
1) Lighting Is Key
All that natural sunlight seeping in through the balcony windows provides an airy and light feel, while the rough wood adds depth and warmth to the room.
2) Choose Classic Cabinetry
White, tall cabinetry is ideal to provide lots of storage areas and to hide appliances that might otherwise crimple your style if left to clutter your countertop.
3) Make the Most of Natural Light
How to achieve an urban farmhouse, you might ask. Well, keep the streamlined appearance of your countertops and put together an open space design that helps bring all the natural light into the room.
4) Adding an Extra Countertop
Transforming what might have been part of the cabinets into an open counter that doubles as a second countertop is an ideal way to keep your small appliances or a couple of potted plants orderly.
5) Get a Table-Island
Is it a kitchen island? A dining table in the kitchen? It can be both! Use it as whatever is needed at the moment and make the most of the space you have.
6) Go for Wood Paneling
Wood paneling is great for adding that farmhouse charm we all want and love, but the key to the style is creating an open kitchen that both defines and unites two distinct spaces.
7) Built-in Appliances
Hiding your small appliances inside your cabinetry and going the extra mile with built-in appliances makes your general design look sleek and charming.
8) Make your Countertop a Barstool
Making the most of the space you have is paramount when redesigning your kitchen. A countertop that has a kitchen sink and doubles as a barstool is a win-win.
9) Keep it Streamlined
The way to get the urban in the urban farmhouse is to put elements of both styles together. Here, the grain of the dark wood used for the cabinetry adds texture to the polished and elegant grey quartz countertops.

Kitchen islands can be amazing storage options. Intelligent organizing add-ons are the way to go to maximize space and order.

14) Add a Dark Backsplash
On the other hand, if all white doesn’t float your boat. A black backsplash looks great with almost anything. Even combined with both white and wood!
15) Keep it Light with Timber
In the case of this very minimal open kitchen, dark wood might have made the room feel smaller, so timber wood was chosen to keep it homey without feeling overpowering.
16) Match your Backsplash and Countertop
Don’t be afraid to be matchy-matchy, especially when it comes to the backsplash and countertops. Using the same color, even the same material, looks positively great.
17) Keep an Open Space
If you are only going to keep one element of the farmhouse kitchen, let it be this: keep an open space. Open the kitchen into the living room or dining room, and it will instantly feel airy.
18) Make you Kitchen Hood a Focal Point
If you are looking to add a focal point, go for your kitchen hood. It is the perfect opportunity to match it to something else in the room like the flooring or the island. Especially in this delightful warm walnut wood.
