For anyone who spends any time on home decorating blogs, Pinterest, or hey, the real world, you know that farmhouse kitchen ideas are hot. Did they ever stop being “hot”? Anyone who tells you that “farmhouse” is over does not know what they are talking about. It’s classic, and will never not be hot. I think every decade has had their own version of the farmhouse kitchen. Warm, friendly, nostalgic spaces, they are perfect spots for long conversations, good red wine, and Saturday morning waffle sessions. (Do you guys notice I mention good red wine on this blog, a lot? ;))
Today we freshen up farmhouse kitchen with some modern touches, minimal decor and simple color schemes. But one thing remains the same… we drool over these gorgeous spaces. Really, truly, drool. Fortunately for you, loyal readers, we know a bunch of highly talented bloggers who have just such kitchens, and have opened up their homes to share with the rest of us. So on this “episode” of drool worthy decor, we bring you farmhouse kitchen ideas! (We even have some tight budget ideas for you too!)
Farmhouse Kitchen Ideas
Modern Farmhouse Kitchens
Here are some awesome bloggers sharing their modern farmhouse kitchen ideas with their room reveals. So many great ideas you can glean for your own kitchen update!
‘Root + Revel‘ has farmhouse kitchens down. Lots of white and fresh design, but they warm it up and make it homey with books, a glam faucet and some pretty accessories… All ideas anyone can borrow.
This rustic modern farmhouse kitchen is luxe, but also packed with ideas you can use too! From ‘Maison de Pax‘, check out the basics of farmhouse design. White with wood, a large kitchen island, and a cheery space everyone wants to be in. Choosing lighting fixtures and hardware wisely can change the feel of a kitchen too. Replace your fixtures with gold and matte black for an instantly expensive feel.
More modern farmhouse kitchen ideas heading your way from ‘A Nod to Navy‘. White cabinets, beadboard walls and open shelving make this minimal but charming kitchen stand out. Love the pop of color with the aqua bar stools.
‘What Molly Made‘ made something pretty amazing… a complete primer on farmhouse kitchen design, along with amazing ideas from her own kitchen reveal! We love how she added some interest and pattern by using dark grout on her backslash. If you feel like an all white kitchen is too cold, then considered this little trick. And she has tips on how to achieve the style on your own.
The farmhouse kitchen ideas on ‘The Grit & Polish‘ are the kind everyone needs to see… a before and after that is life changing. Their “before” kitchen was dark and oppressive, and definitely outdated. They used lots of white and pops of gold to bring out the best in this kitchen space. Seriously. Go check out their before photos. Look anything like yours? Then get to making yours look more like their afters!
Farmhouse Kitchen Ideas on a Budget
We found some pretty, budget friendly farmhouse kitchen ideas for all of you watching your wallet a little closer these days. We think pretty much any farmhouse idea can be a budget one… it’s kinda the nature of the style!
If you want to see how small changes can have a big impact on your farmhouse kitchen dreams, then check out the makeover at ‘Michaela Diane Designs‘. Paint, hardware and shelving. Those are the only major things that were done to this kitchen. Want a farmhouse kitchen on a budget? Go check out all her ideas then!
If you haven’t visited KariAnne at ‘Thistlewood Farms‘, then you really have to… Her entire home/property is drool worthy! Seriously, jealous beyond belief. But today, she is sharing with us her farmhouse style kitchen. Complete with a tutorial for her faux brick wall! Please don’t forget to spend some time at her site, we can all learn some home decorating and garden ideas from her, even if we aren’t “living the dream”! (Yet!) Just visit her projects page, and you will have enough to keep you busy recreating her signature style for quite some time!
If you love distressed, gorgeous antique looking furniture, and the DIY projects that go along with it, chances are you have heard of ‘Miss Mustard Seed‘. Marian doesn’t just paint furniture however, she has a beautiful home, complete with a farmhouse style kitchen we just had to share with you. And learn all about her Milk Paint… it will change the way you do your DIY furniture projects! You know what is most inspiring about her blog? Her “mission statement”, if you will. On the right side of this post of hers, read, ‘Move Mountains in your Home’… Truly has the heart of every budget decorator! One last note… she not only used chalk paint on her end wall, but on the backs of the shelving in the cabinets too!
Ashley at ‘Cherished Bliss‘ has a simple look that says volumes…It is fresh and light, but still so warm! Be sure to go through to see her complete farmhouse cottage kitchen reveal.
Taryn from ‘Design, Dining and Diapers‘ did a modern farmhouse kitchen makeover that is almost exactly my style! LOVE that white subway tile with the darker grout. Oh, and the DIY concrete counters, and the cage light that looks just like one I picked up at Target today…

Maybe it’s just me but while these kitchens are quite lovely I want more color in my kitchen.
I’m in Love with these! I am trying to create a similar vibe. My only color is butcher block counters and a light sea green accent on the island cabinets. But Pinterest inspired me so much. I love this grouping! Thanks!!
Such an amazing kitchen. It looks very beautiful and modern, I just like it.
