    Farmhouse Style Accent – Farmhouse Sink

    Right now so many clients are looking to incorporate farmhouse sinks into their kitchens. These sinks are big, sturdy, and extremely versatile in terms of everyday use. They can be crafted from a wide variety of materials including porcelain, granite, soapstone, and even different types of metal. Characterized by a wide basin that protrudes from the kitchen counters and cabinetry, the multifaceted farmhouse sink can stand up to almost anything. Whether going with a more traditional white farmhouse sink, or choosing a modern take like a brushed steel sink, the farmhouse sink is a great way to incorporate this aesthetic into your home.

    Farmhouse Style Accent – Wood-Paneled Walls

    One of the most noteworthy characteristics of the farmhouse style is the white painted wood-paneled walls. Distinguished by stacked panels of painted white wood, the boards add texture to the room and can easily accommodate different types of decorations. While white is a popular color for farmhouse walls and paneling details, a neutral color palette incorporating cream, light grey, or beige can complement the look as well. The white wood look can be incorporated into wooden furniture such as ceilings, shelving, cabinets, and even bathroom vanities. Wood-paneled walls also integrate well with accents like traditional or folksy wallpaper, which also compliment the farmhouse style.

    Another herald of the farmhouse style is wrought iron accents. Door handles, light fixtures, and faucets add distinction to the neutral color palette associated with the farmhouse style. Dark metals or oil-rubbed bronze can provide the look needed to complement a farmhouse style bathroom or kitchen. Small details like using dark metal hardware can go a long way to ramp up the farmhouse aesthetic. The juxtaposition of dark hardware on light, neutral pieces creates a charming contrast.
