Farmhouse decor is for those who love old-fashioned country charm. Keeping the cooking environment wooden with a mix of vintage furniture or accents will remind visitors of rural American living. Open shelving and open space will keep the space inviting.
Wooden free-standing cabinets and tables are great additions to this kitchen decoration. Apron style sinks are also a popular choice for farmhouse kitchen themes. They are deep enough for heavy-duty tasks and can even be purchased as a vintage item.
Industrial Kitchen Styles

Coastal themes typically require a neutral blue color palette and a backsplash or tiling that reflects all things nautical. Stripes and textured lighting fixtures are perfect options to depicting a design that complements seaside life.
When choosing cabinetry appropriate for a coastal feel, stick to more modern or contemporary picks that have deep grooves.
Cottage Kitchen Styles

Cottage kitchen styles are soft and intimate. It’s a simple kitchen design that focuses on hardwood flooring, grooved walls and hanging low pendant lights.
For this theme, keep wall-mounted open shelving in mind and maintain brown or cream colors when furnishing and painting.
Modern Kitchen Styles

It can be difficult telling the difference between contemporary and modern; however, most spaces are typically a mix of the two. The most important features to recognize about designing a modern kitchen are flat panels and minimal accents.
Adding simple cabinet and drawer hardware to your modern kitchen furnishings will keep it naturally beautiful and emphasis lines throughout the kitchen style.
Mid-Century Modern Kitchen Styles

The dining furniture for this type of kitchen serves as a large and central statement. Take a look at bold, restored pieces that focus on strong lines.
