There is something so homely about a modern farmhouse kitchen. It's a familiar and welcoming aesthetic that is mastered through balancing old and new finishes, furnishings and decor.
1. The statement kitchen island
Our 19th century marble top butcher's table
A marble top butchers table is a versatile choice for any home, and such a wonderful surface for preparing meals. The table des boucherie was traditionally used to display top cuts of meat in the window of the butcher to entice customers passing by.
A rustic draper's table with open storage is a charming choice for a kitchen island. Use the lower shelf to display wicker baskets and cutting boards—perfect for creating a practical workspace with easy circulation. A galvanized milk churn adds a playful touch when used as a vase for fresh fig branches.
A green retro light, rustic table and collection of candlesticks make this white kitchen a unique and chic space.
2. Rustic vintage farmhouse decor
A vintage knife sharpener,
copper cookware, and generous
cutting boards add character and warmth to this farmhouse kitchen. Displayed on a rustic table with a linen cloth, everyday items become part of the charm.

Finishes such as timber, stone, marble, steel, copper and iron as well as plenty of fresh cut flowers and pot plants feature in the most loved farmhouse kitchens.
3. Light fittings that set the tone
Vintage and antique light fittings, whether industrial, luxe or retro are a great way to add personality and color to the space.
Our bronze and copper French lustre is perfect for a traditional or contemporary kitchen.
4. Open storage
Visible storage for pots, plates and glassware are practical and beautiful and the added benefit is having a kitchen where everything is easy to find.
A charming collection of French pottery brings colour and character to the kitchen. Displayed with rustic brushes and earthy tones, it’s a simple way to add warmth and personality to open shelving or a country-style dresser.
5. Farm animals!
Consider adding a sculptural horse head to your kitchen decor—it's an unexpected touch that brings personality and rustic charm. Paired with an antique mirror or sideboard, it creates a striking focal point with farmhouse flair.
6. Vintage glassware and pottery
