It's hard to create a more warm and comforting concept than the "Farmhouse" style. In this design, produced by an interior designer oriented towards bringing everyone together, we find the space necessary to cook wonderful meals while having the proximity of friends and family. We are not talking about minimalist here, since the kitchen is at the heart of the concept and must fulfill a duty of efficiency. Indeed, a farmhouse kitchen, there are several varieties of ingredients and equipment in order to be able to cook multiple dishes. Despite the fact that there are several elements, a reflection on the organization and the storage space is essential so that chaos does not take over this space. The "Farmhouse kitchen" combines traditional and rustic style with a touch of modern. Here are some tips and features from our interior designer that translate into warm and inviting farmhouse kitchen designs.
Farmhouse kitchen | Colors and finishes
An attractive aspect of the "Farmhouse" style is that it is not uniform. Depending on your taste and the space available, no matter what color palette you use, you will be able to represent the traditional side of this style. In order to allow natural light to enter the space, our interior designer recommends colors like cream or alabaster as the choice of palette for bespoke furniture, to create a brighter room. By the same token, a smaller place seems more airy and spacious with this choice of shades. However, if you have enough space, the interior designer will advise you to choose darker shades such as sage green or gray, which can add depth to the room without overwhelming it. Wood or its imitation are essential in the choice of materials for a farmhouse kitchen. They can be used for boxes and cabinet doors, or even for worktops. The insertion of wood can also be done by integrating a butcher block on the counter. This board dedicated to food cutting defines a precise area and adds warmth to the room.
Farmhouse kitchen | Workspaces
The choice of cabinet doors will play an important role in the overall aesthetic of your farmhouse kitchen design. Straight doors, without molding, will certainly create a conflict with the desired style. This is why it is better to opt for a model with moldings like the "shaker" style. On the other hand, a mixture of the two styles will create an original concept. Plus, glass doors can keep you on theme. You can choose transparent glass or even frosted glass with tile inserts, for example. As for the choice of decorative hardware (handle), our interior designer likes to opt for arched handles or drawer knobs in the shape of a half-moon. A detail that should not be overlooked in its design. If you have an open concept kitchen, having an island is a must in the new layout of your room. It will be useful for cooking, socializing, snacking, etc. The island is a complement to your farmhouse kitchen, so it must be in harmony with the rest. On the other hand, for the choice of finish, our interior designer will tell you to consider selecting a different color from the rest of the kitchen.
Farmhouse kitchen | Sink and taps
When we talk about plumbing for a “Farmhouse” kitchen, we mainly think of ceramic or porcelain sinks. The leading quality sink suppliers of this style are Kohler and Blanco. The material used for their manufacture makes them very resistant, in addition to being a great aesthetic complement. The choice of faucet will also bring the desired traditionalism into your kitchen design. The pull-out faucet option is a wise choice regularly made by our interior designer in terms of elegance and functionality.
