Elements of a Farmers Kitchen

by | Jul 21, 2015 | Design Tips & Tricks, Kitchen Renovation

Farmers kitchens have a spacious, warm and welcoming design. Focus on large spaces, natural materials and vintage elements. Try these features in your kitchen design to interpret the antique farmers kitchen style.

  1. Open Shelving
    As well as an open floor plan, farmers kitchens adopt open shelving to showcase cookware and vintage collectibles. Wall-mounted shelving and door-less cabinets displaying dishware with panels behind the shelves will add texture and a traditional cottage charm.
  2. Unique Cabinetry
    Farmers kitchens capture the essence of the French countryside by using Farmers Doors with interesting design elements. Cabinetry and mantelpieces are unique with intricate carvings, elaborate columns and hand painted finishes.
  3. Farmhouse Sink
    A classic farmhouse sink features a wide, deep basin often made of porcelain, stainless steel or cast iron. Farmhouse sinks bring an instant vintage appeal to your cooking space and are the focal point of the kitchen. With a functional and heavy-duty design they provide an old-fashioned look to your kitchen style.
  4. Classic Flooring
    Common flooring materials in farmers kitchens are timber or tiles. Black and white checkered linoleum, polished timber or square tiles are popular farmers kitchen floor designs.
  5. Old-Fashioned Cooktop
    Along with storage, cooking appliances are an important facet of the farmers kitchen design. A traditional stove is the heart of a farmers kitchen. Old-fashioned cooktops contribute to the effortless mix of vintage and modern features of the kitchen style.
  6. Large Tables
    A large table or kitchen island acts as the central gathering spot for the kitchen. They offer extra preparation space for cooking and create a spacious and convenient workstation with thick bench tops. Incorporate a high-quality timber table with kitchen chairs featuring rich detailing and carvings.
  7. Vintage Elements
    Vintage aesthetics with a hint of modern features are reflected in a cosy farmers kitchen. Consider old-fashioned lighting, accessories and furniture.
