Modern Farmhouse Must Haves

The Modern Farmhouse kitchen trend is here to stay, and with its classic appeal it’s easy to see why so many flock to this style. Above are my essentials for achieving this look, and be sure and contact me with any of your design questions.

Simple painted cabinets are a key element for imparting farmhouse style. Choose a simple, modern cabinet door that will stand the test of time. Mixed with antique details and industrial style lighting, the kitchen magically transforms into Modern Farmhouse.

Marble or quartz countertops with a tile backsplash will give you the freshest trend setting look, like this tile from Walker Zanger.

Open shelves in a kitchen gives a casual feel that is authentically Farmhouse. Opening up space for shelves filled with dishes, appealing glasses and cake stands is a must.

A large, one bowl sink is the current rage for the farmhouse kitchen. Whether you choose white, copper or stainless steel, the functionality of a large single bowl sink is something you won’t regret. This kitchen features two sinks for a couple who often cooks from their garden, visible from both prep areas.

Rustic wood details give texture and warmth to a kitchen. You can easily incorporate wood with furniture, lighting, flooring and accessories such as picture frames and old cutting boards. We chose to feature a custom walnut butcher block to compliment the dark stained wood floors and add comfort to the heart of the home pictured below.

The impact of your bar stools cannot be overstated! If you have a kitchen island or bar seating, look for rustic wood or Industrial style stools to anchor your look.

Remember that this style is fun, and one of the easiest ways to up your Modern Farmhouse game is by changing out your accessories. Look to fruit bowls, frames, signs, vases, and wall art for a quick update to your space.
