Hot Trends: 20 Best Farmhouse Style Kitchens in White and Wood

ByMyProperty Life

Combining two currently hot trends to create a kitchen that is both elegant and efficient, the farmhouse style kitchen in white and wood is one you will instantly fall in love with.

Whether you prefer the modern farmhouse style kitchen with very little color and a more urbane appeal or one that feels timeless and classic with wood taking over the setting, this is a color scheme and style that is currently taking over kitchens across the globe.

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.

  • Olympia Prairie Home

    The designer’s task was to build a modern, budget-minded home that was livable and respected its rural environment. The Yelm residence is a contemporary take on a country home: using a combination of simple, cost-effective methods to create a warm, comfortable space through clean lines and precise design. A minimal exterior material palette of wood and stucco siding with metal panel accents helps to highlight the beauty of the 10 acres of land on which the house rests. Concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls frame the entry and a flat roof plane hovers overhead to ground the project into the prairie style landscape. The home reflects the clients’ informal lifestyle and relationship to the environment. He is a graphic designer who works from home; her hobbies include sewing, craft projects, and gardening.
    The home is 2,200 square feet and L-shaped in plan, which allows for the master suite and office to be separated from the guest rooms, craft room and garage. Centrally placed are the open plan living room, kitchen, and dining room. These rooms create a core space with expansive glass walls that connect the owners visually and physically to the landscape. Private views of foothills and tree-covered wetlands are offered through the transparent core, along with sightings of deer and elk near the back patio. Designed with radiant floor heating, heat-recovery technology, and natural ventilation, the simplicity of the floor plan’s organization creates an intimate and warm interior environment. A concrete masonry fireplace paired with the copper-toned, stained birch ceiling also adds material warmth. Circulation through the space is enlivened by built-in storage benches, acting as visual breaks and adding pops of color. Efficient planning and the repetition of elements throughout the house helped to keep costs down, resulting in an economically priced, modern home that compliments its natural environment.

  • Creek House

    Set amidst a volcanic boulder field in a pine and fir forest, Creek House is a family retreat that inhabits an existing outcrop clearing at the edge of the spring fed Martis Creek. Near the base of Lookout Mountain at Northstar California Resort, the house is conceived in plan as three directional bars that slide between and alongside the boulders and trees. The largest contains the main living areas and sleeping quarters. A margin sized bar houses the entry and support spaces and connects the third bar that contains a tandem, drive-through garage to the house. A south facing, 140-foot long, insulated concrete wall demarks the spaces longitudinally and situates the house in the mountainous terrain.   A shift of the major bar to the west over the natural downslope of the site earns two requested rock gardens. The garden to the east is open to the sky and built into the void left by the displacement, with building height concrete walls retained to provide privacy for the master bedroom.  The gravel surface, set with site native basalt stones and framed with water, can be viewed only through a low, three-dimensional glass box that allows the garden to penetrate the room. A rectangular basin captures snow melt to create a protective and ephemeral pool of water around this most private area of the house. The second garden to the west lives under the cantilevered house that shields the lower level from the west sun and contains the largest boulders of the site. A glazed hallway floor above reveals a dramatic drop in the topography and car sized boulders. At the top of the slope, the one-story horizontal form presents a closed and secure face to the northwestern street exposure. Fire resistive steel rain screens and tempered glazing inhabit the territories earned by the concrete wall. The mass heavy house is designed as a long thin rectangle that faces the sun to maximize solar exposure during winter and minimize heat gain from the west and east in summer. The house is cooled by prevailing breezes that flow up and through the house from the west. Radiantly heated bluestone floors, solar assisted domestic hot water and LED electric light further reduce energy demands.
