The Enduring Appeal Of The Farmhouse Kitchen

With a rise in slow, sustainable living, it’s no surprise that traditional aesthetics such as cottages and farmhouses have driven trends in recent years. Of these, one of the most prominent designs is the farmhouse kitchen.

Farmhouse style kitchens are characterised by their warm and inviting nature, directly coinciding with their practical design, taking inspiration from traditional country homes. Often, they feature natural materials such as wood, combined with rustic hues to create a cosy, lived-in home. Farmhouse kitchens traditionally prioritise functionality, while incorporating vintage touches for a charming aesthetic.

Key features of a farmhouse inspired kitchen space include natural materials such as wood, including distressed finishes and warm-toned hues like oak and walnut. Alongside the iconic farmhouse style dining table that often takes centre-stage, another way of incorporating wooden accents is through open shelving to display cookware, crockery and art to portray personality.

Arguably one of the most iconic features of a farmhouse style kitchen, is the immediately identifiable sink. Also known as an apron-front or butler sink, this style features a large, deep silhouette with an exposed front - a design that evokes a rustic, traditional aesthetic whilst remaining practical.

Warm colour palettes are favoured within country inspired interiors, with neutral colours like cream, beige and brown being most often used. If opting for a colourful hue, earthy tones such as olive and dusty blues are most prevalent. When steering towards neutral colour palettes, you can add accents of colour through accessories, or furnishings.

To add the rustic touch that is often seen in traditional farmhouses, consider metal fixtures such as aged bronze or brushed gold taps and basin accessories to offer a vintage charm. Pair the Asbury 4-hole traditional kitchen tap with your butler-inspired sink to tap into the farmhouse style, offering a truly exemplary aesthetic to your home.
