Farmhouse kitchens and farmhouse cabinet doors are trending with over 23,000 searches on Pinterest last week alone! And now Modern Farmhouse is the most popular interior design style in the United States according to Google Trends and Pinterest Trends.
Farmhouse and Modern Farmhouse cabinets tend to be painted white or a very light color, with natural wood elements such as butcher block countertop brought in as accents. Light blue-or-green-painted, furniture-style islands, built-in hutches or accent cabinets are also typical of farmhouse design. In modern farmhouse design, traditional shaker style cabinet doors are sometimes painted white or grey to break up the white walls, backsplash and countertops and add contrast and interest.
Accessories such as pot and pan racks, pitcher collections shown through glass cabinet doors, and vintage art and cooking implements also help define the farmhouse look. Farmhouse cabinet doors range from traditional raised-panel, cope and stick designs to simple flat-panel shaker-style doors. Shiplap is often used on today’s farmhouse kitchen walls, made popular by a well known TV show couple that fixes up houses. To create the look of shiplap on cabinet doors, customers often use v-groove panel cabinet doors in natural wood or painted.
