What is a modern farmhouse kitchen?

A modern farmhouse kitchen – sometimes referred to as a ‘country kitchen’ – adopts aspects or entire design ideas derived from old-style countryside kitchens. They’re made to blend a homely, cosy feel with a clean and uncluttered aesthetic. They’ve become more popular in recent years, particularly in crowded city centres where a sense of laid-back country living and rustic style may be more challenging to achieve.

What to expect in a modern farmhouse or country kitchen:

Typical features of a modern farmhouse design:

Natural materials.
Subtle, natural tones.
Open cabinet displays.
High end appliances.

How to use each of these design features to create a modern farmhouse kitchen:

Natural materials like stone, wood, marble and slate. There are a number of ways to incorporate these into your kitchen from splashback surfaces behind your oven to terracotta tiles and marble countertops.
Subtle, natural tones like whites, beiges, creams and beige make the perfect base for recreating a modern farmhouse kitchen. This is because they’re calming, neutral colours that create soothing environments for you to unwind in – great if you’re hoping to curate a peaceful family atmosphere.
Another way of creating a country feel in the comfort of your own kitchen is to abandon some cabinet doors and replace them with small, decorative fabric curtains. For ultra-country vibes, opt for a textured linen or a playful gingham print.
Modern farmhouse kitchens often creatively blend country kitchen touches like cupboard curtains, natural furnishings and exposed stone walls with cutting-edge appliances to maintain a contemporary feel. This can include powerful extractor fans that introduce a dynamic edge to the kitchen design as well as serving the dual purpose of ventilating the kitchen and keeping moisture from damaging natural materials like wood.
