Wood Beams & Ceilings

Exposed wooden beams are one of the best ways to channel that farmhouse feel. Try using dark woods to create the most rustic aesthetic and add warmth to the room.

You can find reclaimed timber if you want to use natural materials; you can also purchase faux beams to create the look.

For a modern farmhouse kitchen that leans more modern, painted white wood beams (on a shiplap ceiling too!) add texture and style.

Open Shelving

Open shelves are a hallmark of a modern farmhouse design and help to open up small spaces when kept tidy. The best way to keep a kitchen wall shelf looking nice is to use it for things that you actually use regularly, not just things that will collect dust.

Everyday white dishes and plates will look great, and you can add mugs or other drinkware that you use regularly. You can also include kitchen staples and baking supplies in clear containers, a couple of go-to cookbooks, a plant, or a bowl for fruit, mail, or odds and ends.

White Subway Tile

There are few other features in decorating that are simultaneously labeled trendy and timeless, but subway tiles are just that. Not only do they lend a fresh look to the space, they’re also straightforward to clean.

Add extra visual interest when you install white subway tiles by laying the tiles in a different pattern or using a contrasting color like dark grey.

For an added clean and fresh appearance in your modern farmhouse kitchen, try using wood, soapstone, or marble countertops. Choose shades that accent the remainder of the kitchen decor — white quartz countertops are another top-notch choice.

Just like the ceiling beams, and sometimes the countertops, wood flooring works best for farmhouse kitchen floors. As opposed to many other materials used for remodels or upgrades, imperfections are welcome here — natural knots and scrapes work well on wood floors in this style.

Light Fixtures

When it comes to kitchens, overall warm white lights offer the most appealing aesthetic. Some will recommend fixtures that are flush-mount while others prefer sconces in certain scenarios.

While all of those will work, pendant lights (or pendant lamps) are most popular in farmhouse kitchen styles and they definitely channel that rustic charm. Lights like these, that hang from a chain or from a cord suspended from the ceiling, are the most ideal set-up if your ceiling height allows for it — if you can’t do it throughout the kitchen, consider installing them over a large island.

Color Scheme

While color choices in a kitchen are incredibly personal, a farmhouse kitchen is best decorated in light colors or neutral colors. A white kitchen with wood accents and rustic metal elements in the right places will channel all of the farmhouse feel.

If you’re replacing your kitchen cabinets, consider buying your new cabinetry in white or a modern gray — you can also quickly paint your own cabinets to save money.
