Characterized by the warmth and beauty that natural materials bring to a space, farmhouse kitchens embody a pared-back look that celebrates the world of restoration and reclamation. It is a functional aesthetic, edging towards the industrial, yet one that also retains the inherent warmth characteristic of a traditional kitchen scheme.
A key tenet of this design, according to Adrian Bergman, design manager at Plain English, is to ‘embrace the natural warmth and charm of architectural details in the kitchen, such as beams or stone walls, which have aged and weathered over the years.’
