Classic Farmhouse Kitchens: Designs Inspired by Rural Living

Farmhouse kitchens are classic and warm, a rural living charm and a timeless design. This inviting style has key elements that define it and it is a favorite style with homeowners.

1. Rustic Materials:  Use reclaimed wood for cabinets and countertops. Character and a cozy ambiance are brought by exposed beams and shiplap walls.

2. Farmhouse Sinks: A large apron front sink, a practical cooking and cleaning addition as well as a farmhouse kitchen look.

3. Open Shelving:  Remove upper cabinets and substitute open shelves to display dishware and decorative items and to bring an airy look to the space while still having easier access to essential items.

4. Vintage Accents: Incorporating vintage pieces that match a vintage inspired or antique feel will incorporate fixtures, for example wrought iron or brass hardware. To help with the aesthetic, they use antique accessories such as mason jars and farmhouse styled lighting.

These classic farmhouse kitchen design elements create a warm, welcoming space full of pure simplicity and elegance to share with the family for gathering and daily meals.
