The best farmhouse kitchens in white and wood are those with ample natural light thrown into the mix. This not only gives the kitchen a spacious and inviting aura, but also allows you to create a better fusion of styles and materials wherever needed. From the understated to the extravagant and from the space-conscious to the lavish, this is a look at the best inspirations around along with ideas on how to embrace the look in your own kitchen as well –

Finding the Right Balance

One of the important factors in shaping the perfect white and wood kitchen is to ensure that you get the balance between both these elements spot on. This largely depends on the style of the kitchen, the rest of the living area next to it and your own aesthetic preferences. In the farmhouse style kitchen, it is easy to veer towards wood more than white and this does make sense if you are opting to go down a more traditional path. For the modern farmhouse kitchen, darker tones of wood can be replaced by their lighter counterparts and white can create a backdrop that is picture-perfect. With cabinets and countertops already draped in wood, there is no shortage of farmhouse beauty here!

A Dash of Color

As always, just because you have a wood and white theme in the kitchen, it does not mean you have to shun color entirely. In fact, the wood and white backdrop allows pops of color to shine through even more brightly and you can easily change between these cleverly placed accents each week,month or even with a change of seasons. Something as simple as the napkins next to the sink, the vase on the kitchen island or even the pendant above it can add a dash of color without going overboard. Of course, those who love even more color can turn to drapes and rugs.

Décor, Ceiling and More

One of the trademark features of a beautiful modern farmhouse style kitchen is the wonderful way in which the wooden ceiling beams are highlighted to present a lovely picture. This becomes even more obvious visually in a kitchen that is otherwise completely white! Reclaimed and upcycled wood with all its knocks and a distressed finish is another fine choice for those who want to give their new kitchen a more aged look. This obviously makes the space eco-friendly as well! Add in bar stools, surfaces and cabinets in matching wooden finishes and you have the perfect green kitchen.

  • Harimon House

    Harimon house is a single family semi-detached house organized around a central patio and along the main staircase axis. The design process examined several semi-detached house typologies against the site characteristics and the needs of the end-users to determine the best house plan. The long and narrow plot informed the location of the stairs against the shared wall and on the opposite side of the house the patio recess was introduced to allow light and air to filter into the basement and define the spatial layout on the other levels. A tree was planted at basement level in the patio so that its foliage would manifest mainly at the ground floor, and act as a visual anchor in the kitchen, dining area and living room that were organized around the glazed patio. The staircase axis defines a view line at ground level, looking to the backyard that includes a lap pool, and at the first floor it defines the main circulation corridor along which the bedrooms are located. Throughout the house, light colours and natural materials create bright spaces that frame colourful and texture rich views of the surrounding area.

  • Kūono at Volcano

    Kūono is a modern cabin located on the Big Island of Hawaii near Volcanoes National Park. Its exterior was inspired by the modern sea cabins of Norway, and was designed to appear as a modern shape glowing in contrast to the dense Ohia forest. The exterior features of the property fade seamlessly into the boundaries of the site, with a crushed basalt driveway, native landscaping and outdoor sitting areas that were leveled with rocks dislodged during foundation preparation. Water to the property is supplied by a catchment tank and pump house, screened from view by horizontal cedar lattice. Kūono’s design allows for the experience of minimal restriction between indoor and outdoor. Its living spaces include both an open concept interior floor plan as well as an expansive lanai that features a central fire pit, lounge chairs and cedar ofuro soaking tub. From inside the cabin, a full height window wall and sliding glass doors give guests a complete vertical panorama of soil to blue sky through the Ohia canopies above. The floor plan efficiently accommodates four, with a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and a vaulted sleeping/living space. In addition this home was under construction during the 2018 eruption that lasted 4 months. Although it was 20 miles away from the flowing lava that decimated over 700 homes, it was 4 miles away for the Halemaumau Crater which at one point experienced a 30 day stretch with daily 5.0 or greater earthquakes including one with a magnitude of 6.9. Minimal, modern, yet comfortable, Kūono is meant to be a place of respite, where guests are immersed in the beauty of Volcano’s natural landscape with the comforts of a luxury guest home still at hand.
