Pine, one of the least expensive types of wood, is an excellent choice in a simple farmhouse kitchen. Its knotty appearance and warm hue gives your kitchen a down-home warmth.

Old, original farmhouses usually had big, spacious kitchens. If you’re lucky enough to have a home with a big kitchen footprint, you can explore every element of farmhouse style.

Install different countertop options. Have a butcher block area for food prep and a marble countertop for rolling out cookies or bread dough.

You can use darker colors in a spacious kitchen. Make a blackboard accent wall, or lay down a large dark rug. If there’s room, make a cozy coffee corner with upholstered chairs and a coffee table.
