Bring farmhouse dining furniture into your house

When someone talks about country dining tables and settings, one thinks of weathervane roosters and kitschy cow cookie jars, but a farmhouse kitchen brings images of rustic wood, white baseboards – light and airy comfort.

The centerpiece of any farmhouse kitchen is the table. Sturdy and time weathered wood are hallmarks of a classic farmhouse kitchen table. Thanks to recent trends using reclaimed wood, these tables are not hard to find.

Farmhouse style is known for a white palette, but too much white can end up looking sterile. Opt for warm white hues – think vanilla, praline, linen, and cream.

If you like the farmhouse look, but lean towards a more contemporary style, select a pedestal dining furniture table with angular lines paired with more traditional chairs.

For a small kitchen, consider a double-duty kitchen table and island combo. Or, a drop leaf table set.
