Inspired by You: Farmhouse Chic Kitchen

We’re often surprised and inspired by how our customers use Build.com products to transform their homes. From classic color palettes to bold style mashups, these spaces are as unique as the people who created them. We love this fresh twist on farmhouse design. Here’s how to get the look.

The Color Palette

Crisp white trim, subway tiles, and cabinetry pop against the earthy green paint and dark, hand-scraped hardwood flooring.

Island

Guests love to gather in the kitchen. A large center island does double duty as a surface for preparing food and serving it up buffet style. A deep, stainless steel farmhouse sink and industrial-style pre-rinse faucet makes prep and cleanup easy. Add a few stools for a place to perch while flipping through recipe books or for informal dining. A trio of modern pendants defines the space and illuminates the work surface.

Cooking Center

Double wall ovens can accommodate enough entrees and baked goods to feed a crowd. Moving the microwave to an adjacent wall opens up the traffic flow for maximum efficiency. Try laying the tiles in a herringbone pattern between the cooktop and range hood for a high-end, designer look.

Refrigeration

Stainless steel appliances throughout the kitchen add a cohesive look that complements the decor. A roomy, French door fridge opens onto the island to make putting groceries away and gathering ingredients easy. Create a bar area with a built-in wine cooler, small stainless steel sink, and bar faucet.  

Accessories

Stylish details complete the look of any space. For this updated farmhouse kitchen look, try modern cabinet knobs and drawer pulls in a chrome finish. A long, shallow tray filled with fresh lemons adds a splash of color to the island. Arrange a glass and stainless steel canister set on the counter for a pretty way to store frequently used items.
