A Farmhouse Kitchen Style Guide

Farmhouse kitchens have always been a popular style. However, finding the perfect farmhouse-style guide can be quite a challenge. In our newest blog, we will walk you through step-by-step on how to style your farmhouse kitchen, from the best appliances to lighting fixtures, and everything in between.

When considering how you want to design your new kitchen, it’s important to know the themes that farmhouse kitchens typically follow. A lot of copper, wood and other distressed materials are used to create the perfect farmhouse look.

When it comes to appliances, there are a couple of directions that we recommend. For plumbing fixtures, a fireclay sink combined with a gunmetal faucet makes for the perfect pair. We recommend ZLINE plumbing features, which can be found on Rustic Kitchen and Bath here.

For range hoods and dishwashers, we recommend going in a similar direction and choosing copper finishes. A bold, yet timeless addition of copper is absolutely perfect for farmhouse-style kitchens. Oftentimes, people go with distressed wooden cabinetry as well, so the copper finishes of the appliances blend wonderfully.

In alignment with that, people also choose wooden range hoods. ZLINE Kitchen and Bath is the only appliance manufacturer that offers designer wooden range hoods with the motor and lighting pre-installed. They come in a wide variety of wood types so that you can find the one that is perfect for you. Explore more at Rustic Kitchen and Bath here.

Lighting in a farmhouse kitchen can make or break the look. Luckily, we have a personal favorite that isn't going to break the bank.

Luckily, we have just the thing. Maxim Lighting is one of our personal favorite lighting manufacturers, and the best part is they fit in perfectly with the farmhouse aesthetic. Their fixtures are stunning, and some of them even have copper finishes as we recommended for the dishwasher and range hood. An example can be found here.

When planning out your farmhouse kitchen, we think it’s important to create a mood board, or find inspiration for your design so you have a direction that you are already going in. We also recommend bulk-purchasing all your appliances or fixtures from the same place. This way you have only one customer service contact, one tracking number, and one cohesive order rather than trying to order from many different places at once.

We mentioned them in this blog previously, but Rustic Kitchen and Bath is the perfect place for homeowners to achieve the rustic kitchen of their dreams. They sell everything from ZLINE, to Maxim Lighting, to Forno, as well as bathtubs, fireplaces, and more! They truly are the one-stop-shop for all things farmhouse and rustic homes. You can shop all thing Rustic Kitchen and Bath at the link below.
