Today, farmhouse decor is among the hottest home styling ideas. This is no surprise considering that the designs make any type of space cozy, comfortable, and welcoming. The kitchen is an essential section of the house. It’s where you cook and collect what to eat. For this reason, many refer to the kitchen as the “heart of the house.”
7 Items That Define a Farmhouse Kitchen
Being a sucker for the aesthetics of the years past, I always appreciate a classic touch on interior designs. The rustic look, the curvy shapes, and the warm color tones of individual pieces of decor can completely transform the vibe of a room for me. A farmhouse kitchen is the perfect example of such effects.
Growing tired of modern kitchen designs, more and more homeowners have taken a liking to the farmhouse appearance. Mimicking the sights of rural households, farmhouse kitchens are designed to match the visual traits of real kitchens in the agricultural setting – or smoke kitchens – back in the Middle Ages. There is an indescribable quality of the look that calls to the beholders.
The whole architectural style is defined by the designs, construction, and finishing options of several specific fixtures. If your kitchen is in want of renovation and the rustic feel of farmhouse design is the aim, these fixtures will be the cornerstones that help turn your cooking space into something else entirely.
Farmhouse Kitchen Sinks
For obvious reasons, a farmhouse sink is an item that can’t be overlooked if a farmhouse-style kitchen is desired. As its other name – apron front sink – suggests, the bold and bulky look of the sink creates an emphasis on the countertop space.
Farmhouse sinks have been very popular in recent years, and the available material options vary greatly. Most of them look great in any kitchen style, especially natural stones like marble, soapstone, etc. The natural patterns, texture, and not-too-shiny colors are very much fitting in the setting of a farmhouse.
Metallic materials also have their look in a farmhouse kitchen. Bronze and copper are no doubt the best options when it comes to classic decor. Brass has a beautiful, warm hue with a gentle sheen. And steel, although more of modern material, can still be a viable choice if used right.
Traditional Style Faucets
The combination of sink and faucet can easily be seen as the core of the kitchen counter. To augment the sink, the tap also needs to be chosen with care. If done correctly, it will undoubtedly stand out just enough to set a focus point for the entire space.
Traditional style faucets are of course the target. Depending on your preference, it can be one handled, two-handled, or wall mounted. It doesn’t have to be completely traditional, that is, the functions can stay up-to-date. The focus should be on the characteristics of designs: the convex and concave details, and the colors of the days of yore.
One of the most common modern kitchen design tips is to choose a modern kitchen faucet, as long as it comes in a nostalgic style and finishes.
Farmhouse Cabinets
The underlining background for a kitchen is always the cabinets. Though they only play a supportive role, the unity of colors and decorative patterns will be the determining factor of the final vibe and will further commend the focal points (the sink, for example) of the whole farmhouse kitchen.
Farmhouse cabinets, unlike modern cabinets which are often built towards a seamless appearance, are decorated with impressive carvings and sylvan colors. With the details to impress, they tend to strike the impression of skilled and attentive craftwork.
Vintage Oven Range
Although we are trying to model a rustic farmhouse kitchen, we do so with functionality in mind. That is to say, we won’t go as far as putting a traditional wood-burning instead of an electric or gas stove in our beloved kitchens. We want an exquisite, well-aged looking room that functions to modern standards and elevates our cooking experience.
With that in consideration, a set of vintage oven range is exactly what we need to set the room back decades in time while remaining up-to-date useful. Also, keep in mind that as another focal point of the room, its colors should be selected carefully.
Range Hood Wood Cover
A kitchen is very much incomplete without a range hood for it is an appliance with great utility. And to go hand in hand with a vintage oven range should be none other than a range hood with wooden duct cover.
Now, there are two options. We can either go with an actual wood ducted hood, which matches exceptionally well with a kitchen island or simply an under cabinet hood with a wooden cover. Admittedly, the cover alone doesn’t serve any particular purpose, function-wise. The whole idea of having one is to make it seem like the kitchen has a chimney.
It’s a lovely touch and one of my personal favorite farmhouse kitchen details.
Traditional Kitchen Island
In an actual traditional farmhouse kitchen, the island would not be a feature of practicality simply because the room didn’t have much space. It is more of an addition to the architectural style.
A very welcomed addition, I might add. With a few alterations, not only can an island contribute to the rustic image we’re going for but it can also deliver a certain level of sophistication and elegance to the room.
Vintage Lighting
Any interior design enthusiast knows that farmhouse lighting is a substantial contributing factor in creating the mood that envelops a space. An atmospheric lighting system is needed to complete the farmhouse look. Clearly, the visuals of the luminaire are essential. However, the hue of the light is the more crucial element.
To create the warm, tranquil atmosphere of a farmhouse, a cool white light should be restricted to some areas. It is the shade of modern times, the times of advancements. Instead, what we want is the pleasant glow and the orangey hue of warm white light – the color that resembles the heat and the glare of the most popular sources of light there were: fire and heated wire filaments.
