34 Farmhouse Style Kitchens - Rustic Decor Ideas for Kitchens

Duanne Simon

Thanks in very large part to farmhouse style whisperer Joanna Gaines, the Fixer Upper aesthetic is no mere fad. In fact, "farmhouse style" has become synonymous with "classic." Rustic touches like well-worn antiques, reclaimed and repurposed treasures, and crisp white shiplap walls are showing up in homes all over the United States—including those that are nowhere near the country range. And while you can easily pull off farmhouse style in any room of the house, farmhouse kitchens—with their ruff-hewn open concept shelving, vibrant painted cabinetry, apron or skirt-fronted sinks, and collections galore—are by far the most coveted type of this interior style. So how do you get one of your own? Do you have to move to a wide-open space and make a farm-sized investment to pull off that charming kitchen of your own? Absolutely not. The beauty of the farmhouse aesthetic is that it's simple—you can start small with a few gallons of eye-catching paint and a well-loved vintage table and eventually work your way up to shiplapped backsplashes and exposed wood beams. Even better: It works well whether you live in a big-city condo, suburban track home, or small-town cabin—maybe too well. Explore our list of 34 farmhouse kitchen ideas to create the perfect kitchen that's filled with flair, function, and rustic vibes. Good luck getting party guests to hang out anywhere else after pulling together such a warm and welcoming space!

Matte Black

Lucy Rose Conklin

Who says matte black is only for modern kitchens? This kitchen with exposed ceiling beams, open shelving, and bright white subway tiles proves otherwise.

Second Life

GRIDLEY + GRAVES PHOTOGRAPHY

This Indiana kitchen is filled with repurposing ideas. They found the sign in the back of their 1900's barn and built an island around it. The light fixtures are made out of farming funnels.

Pottery and Crocks

DUANNE SIMON

No farmhouse kitchen is complete without a crock collection on display. This homeowner had her open shelving custom made to accommodate the size of the pottery.

Woven Baskets

MARTA XOCHILT PEREZ

Something woven, something blue, something old...or however the saying goes! This kitchen has it all.

Blue and White

The only thing we love more than a collection of blue and white pottery is a freshly baked pie!

Farmhouse Kitchen Stove in a Bold Color

Rikki Snyder

The beautiful Aga stove in British Racing Green is the star of Jeannette Fristoe's charming kitchen. But her antique stoneware crocks, wooden rolling pins, and silverware drawer certainly give it a run for its money.

Black and White Farmhouse Kitchen

Rikki Snyder

There's not a more classic color combo than black and white, and it works especially well for a farmhouse kitchen when you add tecture through woven baskets and greenery as well as patina via a silver collection.

Farmhouse Kitchen Marbled Island

Aaron Colussi

Margaret Shutze's impressive 10-foot island is the heart of her kitchen. The marble countertops, white subway tiles, and cast-brass bin pulls all contribute to her "farm-chic" aesthetic.

15

Make Old New Again

BRIAN WOODCOCK

Tennessee natives Seth and Chad Gilbert definitely know how to decorate without spending a fortune. They used reclaimed wood from their front porch to make the island, found the cabinets from a discarded display kitchen at a local shop, and bought the fridge for just $200 on eBay!

16

Fabulous Fixtures

RYANN FORD

Amy and Brian Kleinwachter's entire Texas abode is almost exclusively made from reclaimed items. Although you might not be able to find an exact replica of their lights, you can draw inspiration by hanging up your own statement piece.

Farmhouse Kitchen Barn Wood-Covered Hood

Max Kim-Bee

Nothing says "farmhouse" like reclaimed barnwood, and what better way to use it than for a fancy range hood?

From the oversized farmhouse sink and dusty blue cabinets to the exposed ceiling beams and animal wall art, this kitchen's rustic vibe is complemented by an earthy palette of reds and browns.

Salvaged Materials

Jean Allsopp

This Georgia cabin makes wide use of salvaged materials, and it brings an acquired-over-time feel to this kitchen's features. With a black soapstone apron-front sink, teak countertops, and heart pine floors salvaged from 300-year-old beams in a South Carolina mill, this charming farmhouse kitchen has age and character.

Antique Signs

Laura Moss

One of the easiest ways to incorporate farmhouse style into your kitchen and throughout your home is to hang vintage signs that say things like "Grocery" or "Meat Market." You can find them on Etsy or at your local antique store.

kitchen in an old house before and after

A small house by the lake is the dream of many. In my mind, he always seems to be perfect. But the family of Eric and Jess did not get such a house in the best condition. The 1960s building needed a major overhaul both inside and out. The young couple started the renovation from the kitchen. With their own hands, they turned it into a modern space, like from the cover of a magazine. In the article we will tell and show how the family succeeded.

Start of repair

The kitchen in the old house was a rather dark room. The massive wooden suite visually narrowed the space and left no room for natural light and air. To get rid of the feeling of a cramped room, the owners of the house abandoned hanging cabinets, added light through white walls and open shelves.

The transformation began from the center of the kitchen - the sink area. This part of the room now looks the most advantageous thanks to the large window. It was not loaded with textiles and other details. The laconic design of the opening helped to let in more light and visually expand the space.

The sink was moved to the window. This classic solution helped organize the right working triangle and thus make the kitchen more ergonomic. In addition, now washing dishes has become much more pleasant.

The cabinets from the old headset were removed from the walls. Then we moved on to technology: they removed the uncomfortable low hood and the massive stove. The latter hung heavily directly over the countertop and took too much attention.

The empty wall was repainted in basic white. It goes well with the new gray headset. For the convenience of cleaning, the apron was laid out with white matte tiles, using the classic technique - “subway”‎.

Faucet and sink had to be replaced. The faucet is tall, in a contrasting black color and with a comfortable soft hose for washing fruits and vegetables. As a result, the area visually expanded noticeably. There was a large area for kitchen work.

cooking zone

Here, too, there have been major changes. The old hood did not allow you to freely approach the stove, you had to constantly remember not to hit your head on it. A new hood was installed directly under the ceiling. It performs not only the main function - the modern model has improved the appearance of the kitchen due to its laconic metal texture. A small electric hob was replaced by a full-fledged gas stove.

Instead of voluminous cabinets, spacious open shelves made of solid wood on black metal brackets appeared on the wall. This decision has significantly freed up space. At the same time, the shelves took over part of the storage. Glasses and everyday utensils are beautifully placed on them.

The main kitchen utensils were removed to the floor cabinets. New furniture was ordered according to individual sizes. The gray color of the headset is combined with metal appliances. And the black matte handles of the facades are in harmony with the mixer and the lamp by the window - together they set off the light finish.

tabletop

The cooking area was left as free as possible. Jess spends a lot of time in the kitchen, so she wanted to make the work surface more practical and comfortable. To do this, dismantled the old wooden countertop. She cracked and has long outlived itself. In its place was a white marbled stone countertop. It was placed around the entire perimeter of the headset. The hue repeats the base color of the finish - a dark countertop could complicate the interior too much with contrasts.

Before that, a lot of space on the work surface was occupied by small household appliances. She, if possible, was hidden in cabinets in order to unload the countertop as much as possible.

The dining area has moved to the place of the refrigerator. The peninsula with a bar counter became a continuation of the headset. This saves space: you no longer need to put the table in the center of the kitchen, as before. It is enough to place bar stools, and the whole family will be able to gather for lunch or dinner.

The new refrigerator has settled to the right of the window - there used to be cabinets. On this side, open shelves for storing spices were also hung. As a result, the family completely abandoned the upper tier of the headset.

Ceiling

Thanks to the light finish, the color of the new suite, open shelves and other details, the space has become noticeably larger. This made it possible to add decorative elements. The ceiling features solid wood beams in farmhouse style. This technique gave the room a country charm and brought natural motifs into the interior.

From the old kitchen there was an original ceiling lamp in the center of the ceiling. In the former interior, he was lost, but now he has gained significance. A laconic golden accent combined with natural light wood made the appearance of the new kitchen more expensive, and the set of textures more diverse.

Project of the week: Minimalist kitchen in an old house in Kaliningrad

The customer wanted to live in the historical center, but in a modern comfortable apartment, and was ready for a complete restructuring

The owner bought an apartment in the historical center of Kaliningrad, in an old house, renovated and Soviet time. The condition of the property was appalling (everything down to the supporting structures needed to be cleaned out), but the owner liked the location of the house and was willing to spend extra. In addition, he wanted to fill the interior with modern amenities that the family is used to: minimalistic decoration and 21st century technologies. 9Ol000 Interior Design Studio of Asiya Orlova»

The layout of the apartment with a kitchen-living room 24 sq. m

A small kitchen was combined into one space with a living room . The technical safety rules when using a gas column took into account and provided for a glass partition, consisting of four different modules. Partitions can be used one at a time for zoning or all at once to isolate the kitchen. Guides for the modules were launched along the ceiling, which made it possible to abandon the threshold between the two rooms.

Problem and solution: “The customer asked to replace the small windows with floor-to-ceiling glazing, he liked the opening green landscape,” says Asiya Orlova. — Usually in the old fund it is impossible to coordinate changes on the facade, but there are exceptions. This house was in the queue for renovation of the facades, and the new glazing in the living room area successfully fit into the plans of the city.”

After the glazing was replaced, the radiators were also replaced, choosing high wall-mounted models.

Problem and solution: In order to visually raise the low ceilings and let in more light, reflective surfaces were used - a glossy stretch ceiling, a glass partition, glossy door panels.

The wall behind the TV was decorated with decorative plaster imitating wet silk. This finish, like other glossy surfaces, reflects the light coming from the windows.

We quickly decided on the overall color scheme for the kitchen-living room, but corrected the shades with the help of visualizations. Initially, they considered a combination of dark gray with warm shades of wood, but in the end they settled on light gray facades and honey-colored wood. The same veneer was used for the panels on the wall in the living room, partly on the door leaf and for the ceiling lights - finished aluminum slats were veneered in a local workshop.

Please note: Part of the kitchen facades is removable false panels that provide access to communications. Gas and ventilation pipes are hidden in the corner “cabinet”, and in the high pencil case on the left there is a niche with a gas water heater, a counter and shelves for storage.

Please note: One of the cupboards above the work surface was made shallower to install a sliding panel for an iPad inside. While cooking on the gadget, you can view recipes or other media content.

Savings: According to the project, the living room was to be decorated with the work of an American photographer. When it turned out that the work exists in a limited edition and the price tag for it is appropriate, they searched for a replacement for a long time.

“I wanted to emphasize the interior with a light image on the verge of fabulousness,” recalls the designer. “And I turned to the Kaliningrad photo artist Anastasia Atsapkina, who took a photo of a ballerina in dance for us.”
