French farmhouse kitchens are a trend that speaks to me! They’re the perfect blend of rustic charm, coziness, and warmth.
I’m definitely a kitchen lover; it’s my absolute favorite room in the house. And I also adore French style. So putting the two together is absolute perfection to me! French farmhouse kitchens is a look that I’ve always gravitated to. It’s a little more rustic in style. Rather than just echoing “French Country” like mine and many other kitchens do, these either are actual farmhouse kitchens or look like they could be right in the middle of Provence.
Of course, French farmhouse kitchens do vary but some things they usually have in common is rustic elements such as wood beams, fire-burning ovens, and raw wood. In addition, they often have no upper cabinets and/or mixed and matched cabinets so that the kitchen looks like it’s been created over time. And, they are often not white! I know, I know, I’m going against my “white kitchens only” mantra! But for this level of beauty, I’ll make an exception;) And I’ve noticed if they are white, it’s usually not a stark white but something a little softer.
It wouldn’t work here in my suburban house and I feel strongly about decorating true to the architecture you live in, so until I have more property and some kind of farm (French or otherwise!), a French farmhouse-style kitchen will just have to be something I dream about! And dream is what I’m gonna do…..

Seriously probably my all-time favorite kitchen. That hood, those antique lanterns, the art casually scattered around. And it’s white too! Perfection! Via House Beautiful.

I’ve always loved this kitchen by Jane Moore. So many amazing elements combine to make perhaps the best “non-kitchen” kitchen ever! Via Veranda.

These kitchens are so inviting…nudging me to add a few rustic accessories to my modern-bling kitchen (white with gray-veined quartz and oversized mercury-glass pendants). The French have a way of combining textures that looks effortless and intriguing.
Sheila says

I’m not sure which one is my favorite! I could easily live in them all ;)! This brings me such inspiration for my own kitchen which is not all white. I think there is such charm in a rustic French/European farmhouse style kitchen. It just says to me…..cook, gather, relax, and linger. I will be scrolling back through these slowly to get ideas for my own home. Thanks Sheila!
Sheila says
I couldn’t agree more!! I’m dying to do more wood, stone and the like in my next kitchen to really warm it up!
