We have a soft spot for modern farmhouse style; the distinct, laid-back, yet refined details create unmatched vibes in a wide array of spaces. The best part is a farmhouse look works way out in the sticks, or slap bang in the inner-city. From the townhouse to the homestead, modern farmhouse kitchens can make your home feel warm and inviting, whatever its location.
If you are planning and building your home, looking at renovation options for your current space, or just manifesting your dream kitchen, we have created a kitchen essentials checklist to complete your home in classic modern farmhouse style.
Antique brass fixtures
The classic modern farmhouse style is not complete without Antique Brass fixtures and fittings. Antique brass material has a warm, rich brown glow that effortlessly matches the laid-back farmhouse look. If you want to contrast against modern cabinetry, antique brass is a great way to call back to a more traditional look.
At Yabby, we love curating Antique Brass fixtures that have well and truly earned their place on our kitchen essentials checklist.
Modern farmhouse-style dinnerware set
True country-style meals deserve the perfect dinnerware to enjoy them in all of their glory. Luckily for us, Robert Gordon does not let us down with this rustic-styled dinnerware set.
This blue-toned dinnerware set is ideal for adding a classic farmhouse touch to every meal. If a subtle pop of colour isn’t for you, Robert Gordon also offers neutral designs for a more classic country look.
A modern farmhouse-style sink
The classic farmhouse sink is undoubtedly the centrepiece of a farmhouse kitchen. This Early Settler classic white farmhouse sink is the blank canvas your kitchen needs for a future of floristry, country-style cooking and if Pinterest has anything to say about it… bathing baby ducklings?!
