The Ultimate Guide to a Modern Farmhouse Kitchen

The ultimate guide to a modern farmhouse kitchen! With all the HGTV hype around Farmhouse Kitchens, it’s no wonder that my number one Kitchen Design request this year was for a Modern Farmhouse Kitchen. It seems like this Kitchen Design can truly fit a lot of different personalities because it’s design and features can be bent in so many different directions. You can choose to go in a very traditional direction with a lot of trim and cream colors or keep it crisp and modern with just the right details to remind of a Farmhouse Kitchen.

In today’s blog post I wanted to explore with y’all the tips and tricks on how to create a beautiful but truly authentic Modern Farmhouse Kitchen.

Traditional Farmhouse Kitchens were built to accommodate large crowds. I’m talking big families and workers from the farm. This kind of Kitchen had some serious cooking to do. This is why you will think of lots of countertop space and big appliances. One of the most famous piece for this design is your big, single bowl farmhouse sink. A sink that is made for cleaning huge pots and dishes. The Kitchen should feel welcoming, even for workers with boots on. When thinking of a Modern Farmhouse Kitchen, I’d like to work with an open floor plan, where large meals can be prepared, while still entertaining family and friends.

Farmhouse Kitchens have also gotten famous for their cabinet features like upper wall cabinets with glass doors or even simple open shelving. The trick to keeping it modern is to choose clean simple glass and real wood shelves with straight lines. I’d like to go with floating shelves here and save shelves with more details on the support for a traditional Farmhouse Design.
