Mood Board Monday: Farmhouse Kitchen edition

This week’s Mood Board Monday was inspired by you! When my followers asked for a farmhouse-inspired kitchen, I wanted to create something that honoured that traditional, homey charm — but with a fresh, contemporary twist.

Think: warm timbers, brushed brass finishes, leafy florals, and a rich green palette grounded by Dulux’s Pesto. It’s all about bringing together tactile materials and earthy tones for a look that feels grounded, minimal, and welcoming. No kitch kitchens here!

So, what is Modern Farmhouse?
Modern Farmhouse takes the cosy comfort of traditional rural homes and gives it a sleek, stylish upgrade. The result? A space that feels lived-in but elevated — relaxed, but refined.

To get the look:

• Blend natural textures: timber, leather, rattan, and stone.

• Pair warm metal tones like antique and brushed brass — mixing metals is fine, but keep your fixtures (like tapware and cabinet pulls) consistent, ideally from the same range for cohesion.

• Add softness and pattern with florals, either in wallpaper, fabric, or styling touches.

• Gingham and check can also work beautifully with this Design Style, but be careful to not go overboard and create too much of a “theme”.
