Spotted recently on The Modern House: a contemporary farmhouse-style kitchen with a dynamic combination of old and new elements. Within the soaring, light-filled space, traditional elements such as flagstone flooring and painted cabinets are reimagined on an industrial scale. Clean lines and concrete counters evoke a utilitarian vibe, while organic and vintage notes add a bit of whimsy and charm.
Above: Part of a larger ground-floor renovation of a 1,200-square-foot Victorian home, located on Farquhar Road in London, the kitchen is flooded with light from both the skylights as well as the floor-to-ceiling, factory-style door, which opens onto a garden courtyard. See Remodeling 101: Steel Factory-Style Windows and Doors. Above: Made from copper and brass pumping parts, the custom faucet adds a bespoke touch. For more ideas, see Trend Alert: 10 DIY Faucets Made from Plumbing Parts.
Above: Much like farmhouse kitchens of yore, this contemporary version features a variety of natural, utilitarian materials, such as stone, wood, and painted cabinets, updated with more modern elements, like concrete and steal..
Materials
Above: The subtle bird’s-egg hue of the painted cabinets is one winning feature of the hybrid space. For something similar try Farrow & Ball’s Cool Blue Grey. Above: Polished concrete counters like the ones used in this London kitchen can be sourced at Concreteworks. For more on concrete counters, see Remodeling 101: Concrete Countertops. Above: Target offers a Big Boy Floating Shelf 35.5 x 10 in Vintage Oak; $38. For custom lengths and more wood options try Cabinetparts.com.
Above: Vermont Farm Table makes a similar Tapered Shaker Table in maple or other custom wood choices; $1,602. Above: 1stdibs and Etsy are excellent sources for similar Regency style dining chairs.
Above: Though the Conran Shop no longer offers the Jasper Conran–designed Flower Stool seen in this kitchen, the Hay Hee Bar Stool is similar; $490. Above: For a similar-looking vintage chandelier try eBay or Etsy, or opt for a contemporary alternative: Pottery Barn’s Graham Chandelier; $199.
Hardware and Accessories
Above: Rail Cabinet Pulls by Rocky Mountain Hardware come in a number of lengths and finishes. Above: Arhaus offers a Driftwood Mirror for $299. Looking for more kitchen inspiration? See:
