A Modern Take on a Farmhouse Style Kitchen

A Modern Take on a Farmhouse Style Kitchen

Project Scope: Kitchen - Remodel

Design Details: Textures such as stone cladding and wire mesh cabinet inserts along with colors and finishes reminiscent of a traditional farmhouse combine with modern amenities and easy-maintenance surfaces to make this a dream kitchen.

The Backstory:  The homeowners of this beautiful Warwick, NY residence envisioned  a kitchen with a charming farmhouse aesthetic and a warm hearth-like ambiance. Aparna’s thoughtful design seamlessly blends classic elegance with modern design, enhancing the style of the home.

One of the homeowners' primary design requests was to incorporate a hearth into the kitchen. In response, Aparna designed a sophisticated stone-clad mantel that elegantly frames the expansive 48” Wolf range. The backsplash features Calacatta picket tiling installed horizontally, giving the space a timeless focal point.

The existing dining room, with its original doorway located near one corner of the room, had no real connection to the kitchen. Our team created a new, wide custom archway with elegant curved wains paneling centered in the space which offers a classic entrance and better fits the scale of the kitchen.

Aparna used satin brass crimped woven wire mesh grills in the upper cabinets, and farmhouse sinks in both the main and island sink locations. The wire mesh matches the soft bronze tone of the faucetry and hardware throughout. White, wood-look, but durable porcelain floor tile in a Chevron pattern anchors the room with a subtle pattern.

A large center island provides ample space for prepping family meals and plenty of seating. It’s Cottage Black painted finish with physical distressing adds to the farmhouse charm. The kitchen space is balanced by the island as well as by the adjacent Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer columns, installed side-by-side opposite the dining room archway, while allowing for generous walkways on either side to access adjacent spaces.
