6 Elements of an Effortlessly Elegant Modern Farmhouse Kitchen

1. 围裙水槽

Everyone loves this farmhouse staple, which leaves the front of the sink exposed. But as eye-catching as they are, the large, deep basin allows for easy clean-up. Just think: in traditional farmhouses a century ago, the kitchen sink was command central for most household chores (including bathtime!).

2. The Kitchen Island or Table… Or Why Not Both! 

An expansive island and/or table is ideal for gathering and a sense of community. We love the idea of slicing, 切丁, 切, washing up while sharing a chat with family or friends who are drawn in by the homey atmosphere. Including both an island and table allows you freedom and flexibility to prepare meals 和娱乐 without missing a b吃.

4. Farmhouse-Worthy Cook Space

Hardworking farm families woke before the sun to work and came back to a breakfast worthy of their efforts. 鸡蛋, 培根, 香肠, 土豆, 豆子。, 奶酪, 烤面包, coffee - and coffee cake - fueled them for the day ahead. Today’s modern farmhouse kitchens are equipped to handle large meals with ease (though maybe Thanksgiving or dinner parties rather than our hurried mornings!). They tend to f吃ure separate 烹饪 areas, complete with a commercial style gas range, 罩, tile/stone backsplash. With six (or up to nine) burners, 双烤箱, 变暖的抽屉, 还有其他特点, feeding a hungry crowd is a breeze.

5. Open Shelves or Glass Cabinets

Simple open shelves or glass-fronted cabinets allow you to show off your dishes, 眼镜, 和个性! Accessorizing cream or white cabinets with an accent color (we suggest light blues or elegant greens) on the island or base cabinets is simple - and a simply wonderful way to infuse your space with its own unique charm.

The best kitchens within this style embrace lighting not just as an accessory, but as an integral part of the design process for cr吃ing a space that is both beautiful and inviting. Combine the warmth of natural lighting with the elegance of modern finishes for a kitchen that is as charming as it is luxurious.
