When we were decorating our farmhouse kitchen for summer, we knew we didn’t want to add a ton of color and make the room overwhelming. But we did want to break up the white just a bit while sticking with our farmhouse decor look.
The first rule of a farmhouse kitchen is it has to be functional, especially over the summer when it’s canning season. Our farmhouse kitchen has to ready for big projects, and able to handle the whole family in the kitchen at once, so we went with a minimalistic approach to decor.
Creating A Farmhouse Kitchen
When we began the remodel of our kitchen to create the farmhouse kitchen of our dreams several years ago we knew we wanted a white kitchen. A nod toward an old fashion kitchen, with shiplap, soft neutral colors that wouldn’t clash with our stainless steel appliances. We love the space we’ve created in this room, and it works so well for our families needs.

Decorating A Farmhouse Kitchen
We keep our decorating sparse when it comes to the farmhouse kitchen to leave plenty of free counter space for working. We chose to go with pops of color to break up the wall of white cabinets. To one side of the stove, we placed our cream kitchen aid mixer
In the corner of the counter, we placed our green Pioneer Woman
Kitchen Window Seat
The kitchen window seat is one of our favorite spots in the kitchen when we have guests over you’ll often find them curled up here while we cook dinner. This spot is so comfortable, we added some throw pillows for color and to make a little cozier.
Simple Farmhouse Kitchen Decor
On this side of the kitchen, we place these adorable enamel canisters from Hobby Lobby for flour, coffee, and sugar. These are super functional and yet give the space that retro feel we love. In the corner, we tried to mirror the colors from the other side of the room and paired a beautiful white platter, a simple green plate, and an old fremed family recipe. Next, to the sink, we placed a cute enamel bread container
Over the sink
On the opposite end of our farmhouse kitchen, we hung this dairy milk hanger- the name of the game in this kitchen is function. This hanger is perfect for drying our flour sack towels and bundles of herbs from the garden.
