34 Farmhouse Style Kitchens - Rustic Decor Ideas for Kitchens

From reclaimed wood to timeless antiques, there are countless ways to amp up your kitchen's country style.
By Jenae Sitzes
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!

Farmhouse Kitchen Stove in a Bold Color
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
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.

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!

Salvaged Materials
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
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.

Reclaimed Wood
The wood column and range hood made from salvaged pine balance out the exquisite white features of this Georgia kitchen, which adds extra country charm with antique porch posts supporting the island, a chalkboard, and farm-fresh flowers in a pitcher.

Repurposed Items
The owners of this Tennessee cabin used reclaimed materials for their kitchen's eclectic but cozy feel.
Their stools are covered with repurposed old shirts from Goodwill, while their salvaged sink is revamped with a pleated skirt and decorative legs made from old balusters. The sconces come from Habitat for Humanity ReStore, with piping added to mimic the shelving below.

Decorative Rug
A gorgeous 19th-century Turkish runner adds a burst of color to this white galley kitchen inside a rustic Connecticut cottage. Exposed shelving adds to the kitchen's country style, and the owner painted the cabinetry slightly darker than the walls for extra dimension.

Pecky Cypress
Fans of reclaimed wood, here's a new kitchen trend you'll want to keep your eyes on: pecky cypress, seen here on the island and hood.
This grainy type of wood is known for its long pocketing and striations. Orb lights also help soften a kitchen with lots of straight lines and sharp edges.
Björn Wallander

Exposed Shelving
Rustic wood looks even more lovely against crisp white walls and dishes. The owner of this northern California home used Douglas fir for the shelving and redwood for the farm table. Exposed shelving and hanging pots are classic features of a country kitchen.

Vintage Sink
This couple embraced the history of their 18th-century farmhouse by filling it with antiques, and in the kitchen, that translates to a vintage porcelain double farm sink and a display of gorgeous antique dishes. Other small touches, like the faded checkered rug and storage baskets under the sink, add to the rustic style.
Victoria Pearson

Old Country Charm
A much-needed renovation replaced wallpaper and dark cabinets with an open, welcoming space that utilizes a mix of materials, from aged zinc on the countertops and hood to reclaimed wood on the island and walls.
The owner of this 100-year-old Texas farmhouse has modern appliances hidden away inside the island, and the antique filing cabinet by the stove adds even more country charm.

75 original country house interior ideas
Almost everyone will like a rustic house.
Even from the combination of words it draws warmth, comfort and crackling firewood in a Russian stove, next to which it is pleasant to spend an evening in peace and quiet. It will not be difficult for owners of suburban real estate to create the interior decoration of a rustic-style house. Such decoration is akin to a return to the roots, to the origins of folk culture. Maybe that's why rural interiors give such a sense of peace, which happens only in childhood. For the same reason, they are so popular among residents of city apartments.
It will be a pleasure to cook in such a kitchen

Benefits of wooden buildings
Modern architects and designers use various materials for construction and decoration. The benefits of wood are:
-
special aesthetics and practicality;
-
excellent sound insulation that allows you to listen to music or watch TV loudly, gather noisy companies without disturbing your neighbors;
-
excellent thermal insulation. The tree retains heat for a long time, such walls and a roof will maintain a comfortable indoor temperature in a cold winter;
-
maintaining the same level of humidity.

What determines the choice of interior?
The interior of a village house has a certain specificity that distinguishes it from the design of city apartments.
Rural interior features
| Furniture | Antique or imitation antique (large chest or chest of drawers), the simplest. |
| Finish | No frills, simplicity, coarseness |
| Materials | Preferred natural: stone or wood |
| Details, decorative elements | An abundance of different things made by the owners or craftsmen with their own hands |
| Textile | Embroidered tablecloths, napkins, potholders with ethnic ornaments, curtains made of natural fabrics: linen or cotton |
When decorating a house in a rustic style, wicker furniture and art forging elements are often used.

The design of a country house inside should meet the main goal - to create an atmosphere of peace and genuine comfort, so you should not decorate your dacha, for example, in the style of minimalism.
Usually the design of a house in a village is made on the basis of the cultural characteristics of a particular people. At the same time, you can choose any ethnic direction: a Provence-style wooden house on the banks of the Volga will look just as appropriate as in the French province.
So, the most popular directions in decorating a country estate:
-
country;
-
provence;
-
English village;
-
Russian village.

Design features in country style
Country creates a warm, relaxed atmosphere of a country house. Use pastel colors: olive, lavender, sand and others, avoid sharp contrasts. Since textiles are an indispensable attribute of decoration, decorate your living space with napkins, large-sized curtains, and lay a tablecloth with hand embroidery.
Choose fabrics not synthetic, but cotton, linen or chintz.
Natural and decorative stone or bricks are perfect for wall decoration, you can paint them in a single color. Furniture, dishes, decorative items should be made of natural materials: glass, wood, stone or paper. Upholstery with small flowers is acceptable for sofas and armchairs.

Provence-style country estate interior
Another name for the style is “French country”, such interiors are great for people who are tired of the bustle of the city and dream of immersing themselves in the atmosphere of a leisurely rural life. The walls, most often, are whitewashed or painted with white paint, decorated with paintings and natural or artificial flowers.
All textile accessories should be made of bright fabrics with floral patterns. Exquisite, thin forged elements are actively used. The floor should be made plank and painted in a light color or decorated with stone tiles.
A distinctive feature is large windows, which are not typical for other similar styles due to the peculiarities of climatic conditions. For the same reason, in most of Russia, such a solution is not recommended, since the building will cool too much in winter.

Russian rustic style
Historically developed characteristic feature of the direction is the active use of wooden materials. The walls, ceiling and floor are sheathed with boards, the furniture is made of the same material. Chests with traditional ornaments are often used. In the modern version of the style, rafters and beam ceilings are required.
An indispensable element is a Russian stove or a stylization of it, tiled stoves are often made, which in the past were characteristic of the design of palaces and castles, but harmoniously fit into a village house. To decorate the room, you can use towels, knitted toys, rag dolls, potholders (preferably handmade).

Rustic kitchen interior
When it comes to finishing and decorating work, it must be taken into account that in the past the kitchen was the central place in which most family events took place. The rest of the rooms were for sleeping. Therefore, when designing, close attention should be paid to the space of the kitchen.
If the size of the room allows, place a wooden nook and a dining table made of the same material.
The kitchen needs to be made light: the ceiling should be whitewashed with lime or water-based paint, the walls should be pasted over with plain light wallpaper (a floral ornament is possible), it is recommended to lay rugs on the floor. To decorate the room, use herbariums or straw figurines; napkins, curtains and potholders made of natural fabrics, hand embroidery will be a wonderful touch.
The bedroom should be bright
In the house you can make a fireplace and warm yourself while sitting in the living room

Country style living room
The design of the living room, in general, is close to the interior of the kitchen: whitewashed ceiling, light wallpaper. Vases or large pots of flowers are often placed on the windows, so the curtains should be up to the middle of the window. An interesting solution would be windows with internal shutters. An important element of the interior decoration of the living room is a fireplace.
Since the key condition of the interior is natural materials, upholstered furniture should be covered with woven cloth. Knitted napkins can be laid on bedside tables and tables, a carpet or carpet can be laid on the floor.
A wooden house will be very durable

Bedroom decoration
The central design element around which the composition of the room gathers is a large wooden or wrought-iron bed with a natural mattress (ideally a feather bed) and a large number of pillows of different sizes. For textiles, linen or coarse calico in pastel shades with or without a medium-sized pattern should be preferred. Small rugs or rag rugs are placed on the floor.
It is better to choose bedside tables, cabinets, chairs, a massive chest of drawers or a chest of impressive size, decorated with carvings.
