Kitchen styles for farmhouses

If you’re lucky enough to reside in a charming farmhouse or barn conversion, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to your new kitchen. With plenty of space to take advantage of and lots of unique features to enhance, creating a wow-factor farmhouse kitchen is really quite simple.

Use natural materials for that farmhouse kitchen look

Many of our traditional kitchens are designed using natural materials. Granite worktops are ideal for luxury farmhouse kitchens and painted wood can look great for your kitchen cupboards. If your budget allows, why not replace your flooring with wooden floorboards too? Stone flooring also works well in farmhouse kitchens.

Stick to a neutral kitchen colour palette

When deciding on colours for your barn conversion or farmhouse kitchen, it’s best to go natural. For something warm and welcoming, take advantage of natural material like wood. If you’re keen to inject a bit of colour, choose painted wood or enhance your kitchen with colourful accessories. We recommend sticking to neutral colours or country cottage chic colours like duck egg blue.

Enhance your farmhouse kitchen with statement features

There are so many ways to enhance your designer kitchen. If you’ve got the space, why not reap the benefits of a central kitchen island? If you’re keen to add a touch of the contemporary look, why not accessorise with industrial-style brass light fixtures? Alternatively, a traditional, farmhouse kitchen sink can be a feature in itself.

Opt for traditional touches as opposed to modern

Kitchen styles for farmhouses

Traditional kitchens are best suited to the farmhouse home. While modern features help create that eclectic look, traditional features ensure a timeless finish and a coherent style throughout your home.

Some of the traditional finishes you might like to consider include shaker-style kitchen cabinets, hand-turned door knobs, and natural, hardwearing materials and surfaces. It’s best to stay away from modern materials like Corian and to avoid trends like the handleless cupboard.

A country farmhouse style kitchen, designed by KDC

At Kitchen Design Centre, we’ve transformed a number of farmhouse kitchens and barn conversions. One of our favourite projects was this old-English style kitchen, created for Mr and Mrs Lockett.

The brand new designer kitchen features a breakfast bar for six, large kitchen island, and country-chic colour palette. We also used natural materials, like oak, and added a Silestone Lyra leather finish to the kitchen island for the ultimate finish.

Feeling all inspired? Why not take a closer look at some of our traditional kitchen designs? You’ll find a variety of traditional kitchens in our showrooms and over on our Traditional Collection webpage. Enjoy!

AWARD-WINNING KITCHENS FOR AN AWARD-WINNING DEVELOPER

As you may know if you’ve visited any of our showrooms in Manchester, Blackburn, Liverpool or Barrowford, we manage more than 250 kitchen projects each year here at Kitchen Design Centre. Many of these kitchens are for individual customers, but we also specialise in providing exceptional designer kitchens to housebuilders and developers. We have a particularly successful longstanding relationship with Candelisa, a prestigious Yorkshire-based property developer that is (like us) known for the peerless quality of its designs.
The company already has an impressive array of awards on its shelves, and its team have recently managed to secure their latest accolade: the Best High Volume New Housing Development at the prestigious LABC Awards!
In case you need a quick refresher, the LABC Awards are the largest business-to-business awards in the UK’s building control sector, aimed at celebrating and rewarding building projects, and the people behind them. The Best High Volume New Housing Development in question was Candelisa’s project at Countyfields, Embsay. Due to our strong relationship with the company (largely through Simon Thomas, the head of our Barrowford showroom), Kitchen Design Centre was chosen to deliver every kitchen at the Embsay development – and like Candelisa’s team, we’re hugely proud of the results.

Latest case study now live incase you missed it.

With a keen eye for design, Nicole knew the look she wanted and approached a local kitchen company. They came up with a range of designs but although there was nothing wrong with them, the couple felt that they would like an alternative design. They were already dealing with a lot of different companies for other rooms in the house and were reluctant to involve another but Anthony suggested they visited Rowan at Kitchen Design Centre Urmston to see if he could improve the design, and they were absolutely blown away with what he came up with.
