1)  Open Shelves and Glass Front Cabinets

Glass front cabinets make for the perfect farmhouse look. Display your dishes and other decorative items like cake plates and pitchers. Having open shelving in your kitchen is another great way to add a decorative element to your Farmhouse kitchen! Let's face it, countertop space is precious and trying to decorate your kitchen without taking up too much space on your counter can be tricky. Incorporate open shelving and problem solved!

2) White Cabinets

White cabinets are not a necessity but they do scream farmhouse, especially when you go with a shaker style. White cabinets offer a clean, classy look that is sure to stand the test of time. Painting or installing white cabinets will transform your kitchen into a farmhouse kitchen perfectly.

3) Farmhouse Sink

A big farmhouse sink is essential for your farmhouse styled kitchen. These sinks are big and open and add a great design element to your kitchen. The origins of the farmhouse sink date back to when sinks were used for cooking and canning vegetables and meats from the farm. Some still use them for this purpose but most simply use them for aesthetic reasons.


4) Marble Countertops

If you are serious about having a true farmhouse style kitchen, marble countertops are a must! When it comes to a farmhouse style, the idea is that everything is clean, crips, and mostly neutral colors with a few accents.
