Do you hear HGTV realtors in the background gushing over these gorgeous white subway tiles? This kitchen’s combination of dark wood and white cabinets really embraces the concept of contrast. Notice how the kitchen island allows space for bar stools to be tucked underneath.
This allows for more kitchen space throughout the day when the stools aren’t being used. And, of course, no farmhouse kitchen would be complete without a kettle on the stove.
4. A farmhouse kitchen for the pottery fiend

This kitchen’s open shelving units provide ample room to display all 30 pieces of clay pottery you own.

Quick! Grab an apron and start chopping the celery that we grew in the garden. (This kitchen totally screams “we grow our own vegetables,” right?)
Here, we shift to a completely different way to incorporate blue into a farmhouse kitchen design. You’ll notice that blue is not the accent color here, it is the focal point.

9. It’s not all black and white

…but it’s mostly black and white. This is not only an interesting example of a modern farmhouse kitchen, it’s an interesting example of mixing black and white cabinets. Mom told you to always match your tops and bottoms, but mom’s not here so why not break the rules a little bit? The bold contrast of black lower cabinets and crisp white upper cabinets highlights the warm hardwood flooring and decorative greenery.
