When you say 'Farmhouse Kitchen,' the immediate connection is rustic, country and casual. However these farmhouse kitchen designs are going to flip that notion on its head.
We are taking the best elements of a classic, traditional farmhouse kitchen and modernizing them to incorporate them into today's contemporary design style.
These gorgeous kitchens from Country Living bring modern finishes, contemporary elements and mixed genres to create timeless spaces that still give off the relatable, rustic farmhouse vibe.
There is nothing hotter right now than marble in a kitchen. Gone are the days of granite, and here to stay are big, gorgeous marble slabs with delicate, watercolor-like veining. While this material needs a lot of maintenance, if done right, marble in the kitchen is a showstopper.
Mixing the brightness and cleanliness of the marble with the dark, reclaimed woods of the beams and bar stools gives an immense amount of depth, while brass picture lights highlight vintage artwork, bringing charm to the space.
This industrial modern take on a farmhouse kitchen design features adjustable bar stools at a reclaimed wood island. This feature is great because it gives you options. The stools can act as stools, or can be pulled anywhere in the kitchen to serve as a cookbook rest or side table.
The nautical take on the classic farmhouse look is done so well in the above kitchen. Sailboat accents, mosaic tile and gorgeous, industrial pendants complete the look for a seaside kitchen space.
The kitchen above is mostly contemporary with classic cabinetry and colorful metal barstools, however the extra large barn door, open shelving and vintage-inspired island light sneak the farmhouse elements into the design.
This kitchen shows you how mixing styles and looks can be super successful if done right. I love how the floating shelves span the length of the window and monochromatic flea market treasures.
The most vintage-inspired kitchen in the bunch is a total stunner. It almost avoids classic cabinetry altogether and opts for furniture pieces and freestanding appliances and fixtures; this vintage kitchen is pieced together so perfectly.
