1. Make the range the focal point: Since the range is typically the centerpiece of any kitchen, it makes sense to make it the focal point of a farmhouse kitchen. Install a range hood above it and use decorative tile or brickwork to frame the area around the range.
2. Choose a range with a rustic design: If you want to create a truly authentic farmhouse look, choose a range that has a more rustic design. A range with exposed metal hardware and controls, for example, could look right at home in a farmhouse kitchen.
3. Use natural materials: Farmhouse kitchens often feature plenty of natural materials, such as wood, stone, and metal. Choose countertops and cabinetry that use these materials, and incorporate other farmhouse accents like open shelving and vintage lighting.
4. Add decorative touches: Farmhouses are known for their charming and decorative accents, and a farmhouse kitchen can benefit from these touches as well. Consider incorporating vintage-style hardware, decorative tile backsplashes, and other ornamental details.
5. Think about color scheme: Farmhouse kitchens typically feature a warm, rustic color scheme. Consider painting the walls in a muted shade of beige or off-white, and use pops of color in your accessories and decor to add interest.
