How to Remodel Farmhouse Kitchens

When considering how to remodel a farmhouse kitchen, take into account the daily activities in the room. Commonly, when thinking of a farmhouse kitchen, a large table decorates the room and doubles as a place for the entire family to eat a meal. The smell of warm pies or cookies baking in the oven seeps through the entire home. You do not need to replace the flooring or appliances to successfully create a farmhouse kitchen; instead paint the walls, add a few decorative items and incorporate farm-themed fabrics into the kitchen to transform the space. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Paint the farmhouse ceiling with ceiling paint, a paintbrush and paint roller. Lay a tarp over the flooring and appliances in the kitchen and roll the paint on the ceiling with the paint roller. Trim the corners with a paintbrush. Painting the ceiling instantly remodels the appearance of it, while updating it with a fresh coat of paint.

2

Paint the walls in the kitchen with interior paint. Select a paint color of your choice and allow the paint to dry according to the manufacturer's directions. Reds and blues work well in a farmhouse kitchen if you wish to decorate with plaid or gingham fabric. Or an off-white with red and blue accents can work to bring the theme into the area.

3

Hang farmhouse-themed wallpaper border on the walls in the kitchen. Wet the wallpaper border and apply it to the walls, pressing out the air bubbles as you go with your hand. Farmhouse-themed wallpaper border includes roosters, sunflowers, barns or farm animals.

4

Remove the doors from all cabinets in the kitchen. Unscrew the hinges holding the doors in place and set them aside. Paint the cabinets (inside and out) with white paint and allow them to dry thoroughly.

5

Install glass cabinet doors in the kitchen. Glass cabinet doors create an illusion of a larger kitchen, and allow your items displayed as decorative accents pieces in the room.

6

Hang country-themed curtains on the windows in the farmhouse kitchen. When selecting the curtains, select ones with swags. Swags work well to accent a farmhouse kitchen and remodel the appearance of the windows.

7

Incorporate a large, rustic wooden table in the farmhouse kitchen. Large tables invite guests into the kitchen and double as a work surface.
