Features of a farmhouse kitchen

Inspired by the rustic and friendly atmosphere of country homes, the farmhouse kitchen stands out with its warm ambiance where natural materials dominate, complemented by soft and calming colors.

These kitchens blend rustic charm with marked functionality, featuring large cabinets, robust furniture, and decorative elements that evoke country life.

A farmhouse kitchen is a space that breathes authenticity and the art of simple living without compromising on style.

Cabinet doors in a farmhouse kitchen

Cabinet doors play a key role in the farmhouse decor of your kitchen. The Quebec-made kitchen cabinet manufacturer Dörr Industries offers a variety of customizable collections to perfect your decor.

Wood and colors of a farmhouse kitchen

Wood is the essence of the farmhouse kitchen. Whether for exposed beams, countertops, or furniture, choose solid or recycled wood for their unique character. For perfect harmony, combine them with light tones like off-whites, soft grays, pale blues, or calming greens. These palettes not only illuminate the space but reinforce the welcoming and natural atmosphere.

Countertops

For a chic farmhouse kitchen style, prioritize solid wood or natural stone countertops. Quartz or marble will bring a sophisticated touch, while wood will add more rustic charm. If you love cooking, opt for a quartz worktop, easy to clean and heat-resistant, while maintaining wooden elements for decoration.

Backsplash

Light backsplashes rank among current kitchen trends, perfectly complementing the farmhouse kitchen. The subway tile backsplash, arranged traditionally or in a herringbone pattern, is very representative of the style.

Farmhouse kitchen sinks

The apron-front sink is an iconic piece of the genre. This farmhouse kitchen sink features generous dimensions and becomes the focal point of the preparation area, most often made in white ceramic, fireclay, or porcelain.

Farmhouse kitchen hoods

Always favoring light colors, refine your decor by opting for a farmhouse kitchen hood: it can be entirely wood or highlighted with a wooden border subtly recalling other elements of your decor. Metallic touches also invite themselves into the farmhouse decor, notably on the hoods. With our trusted partner Gereco Construction, creation possibilities are endless.

Shelves in a farmhouse kitchen

In addition to adding woody touches, open shelves allow you to display various decorative elements. Choose wooden shelves with metal supports, with wrought iron being another favorite material of old houses, and display your vintage dishes and other judiciously chosen items. Storage becomes an integral part of the design.

Farmhouse decor elements

Farmhouse kitchen decor emphasizes natural materials or vintage pieces: wicker baskets, copper utensils, wooden ladder, artisanal ceramics… Let your inspiration shine while keeping visual harmony in mind. Our experts help each client uniquely renovate their kitchen with tailored advice.

Lighting and fixtures

To illuminate the space, prioritize pendant lighting with strategically selected fixtures. Metallic tones like brass, black pieces, or adorned with wood or more minimalist glass pieces can compose your lighting.

Accessories and materials

Art is in the details. Bet on brass or copper hardware or even wooden touches. Complete it with wooden cutting boards, stoneware vases, antique-style chairs, or still-life paintings, for example. Above all, imbue each accessory choice with the sought farmhouse spirit while keeping harmony in mind. Our designers in Quebec, Montreal, and Gatineau can offer you sound advice.
