20 On-Trend White and Wood Farmhouse Kitchens

Are you dreaming of a kitchen that blends rustic charm with bright, modern style? That was my goal when I decided to refresh my cooking space.

I quickly realized that a white and wood farmhouse design was the perfect way to get the best of both worlds.

The style is so versatile, working for everything from a classic country aesthetic to a more minimalist design. Whether you want to go all out or just add a few simple touches, these ideas will help guide you.

It’s All in the Details

One of the signature features of a stunning modern farmhouse kitchen is the way wooden ceiling beams become a focal point, creating such a lovely picture. I think this detail becomes even more visually impactful in a kitchen that is otherwise completely white!

Using reclaimed and upcycled wood, with all its beautiful knocks and distressed finish, is another brilliant choice, especially if you want to give your new kitchen a more aged feel.

It’s also a great way to make the space more eco-friendly! Just add in some bar stools and other surfaces in matching wooden finishes, and you’ve created the perfect green kitchen.

Bring in Some Personality

Just because you have a wood and white theme in the kitchen, it doesn’t mean you have to skip color altogether. In fact, I think the wood and white backdrop is the perfect canvas to let pops of color really shine!

You can so easily swap out these smartly placed accents each week, month, or with a change of seasons. It can be something as simple as the napkins by the sink, the vase on your island, or even the light fixture hanging above it to add that hint of color without going overboard.

And for those of you who love even more color, you can always turn to curtains and rugs.

Getting the Mix Just Right

One of the key things to consider when designing the perfect white and wood kitchen is making sure you get the balance between both elements just right. This really comes down to the style of your kitchen, the feel of the living area next to it, and of course, your own personal taste.

In a farmhouse kitchen, it’s so easy to lean more towards wood than white, and that makes total sense if you’re going for a more traditional path. For a modern farmhouse kitchen, you can swap darker woods for lighter versions and use white to create a picture-perfect backdrop.
