Plain, practical and welcoming, like a well-kept country kitchen.

Farmhouse

Farmhouse style is sturdy and unfussy: white or cream walls, a big table, shaker cabinets, open shelves, a butler sink and a few black or iron accents. It is friendly and easy to live with. It suits kitchens and dining rooms best, and family homes generally.

Try first

Cheapest first. Each is something you could do this weekend, or say to Room AI now.

1 Paint the cabinets white or sage and change the handles to black; a kitchen turns farmhouse for the price of paint.
2 Replace one cupboard with open shelves and keep only white and wood things on them.
3 Add a big simple table or a bench; farmhouse is about gathering.
4 Use black in small doses, handles, a tap, a pendant, to sharpen all the white.
