Farmhouse kitchen designs have a unique charm that other design approaches simply can’t match. The farmhouse motif is an extremely popular interior design option and a very suitable choice for a kitchen remodeling project. The three tips below will help you achieve a stunning farmhouse look in your kitchen.

Remodeling Tips for Farmhouse Kitchens

1. Stone & Wood Countertops

New countertops are a great way to kickstart your kitchen remodeling project. Appropriately rustic materials include wood, soapstone, and marble. They’re extremely resistant to stains, heat, and scratching, and they come in a number of colors and designs. Many people choose to use them as a centerpiece or to accent cabinet colors (such as onyx-colored countertops against crème-colored cabinets and walls).

2. Islands

An island is an invaluable addition to any kitchen. If you have the space, consider adding one to your farmhouse design. Match the base color with your cabinetry and consider adding storage. You can add a cooktop or standard counter and apply an overhang for seating. An island is a great way to add depth and utility, so carefully consider how it can fit into your design without disrupting the flow of the room.

3. Open Shelving

Open shelving and glass-door cabinets are quintessential parts of the farmhouse aesthetic. These let you show off the unique items your store and add further depth to your kitchen. If you opt for open shelving in your kitchen remodeling project, invest in creative glass jars and other knickknacks you can use to store spices, cooking supplies, and other items. This is a great time to also weigh out your storage needs so that you can maximize available space.
