"Even as times change and life gets busy again, the
kitchen is where the family will still gather at the end of
a long day to talk while cooking and preparing food.
And it's always where family and friends gather during
get-togethers and life events. The kitchen needs to flow
and function and have space for everything you need."
Chaput says the farmhouse-style kitchen is gaining
momentum, since its cooking and eating spaces
are geared to accommodate big family meals, with
a beautiful farmhouse sink for clean-up afterwards.
Features tend to include warm wood accents, large
islands, open shelving and exposed wood beams on
vaulted ceilings.
For a first-hand look at a modern farmhouse kitchen,
Chaput suggests Parade visitors check out the brand-
new Foxridge show home at 13 Stone Hearth Lane in
Oak Bluff West (depicted here in an artist's rendering).
"Our design team, along with Two30Nine by Decor,
created a dream design with a massive island with
wood crosspieces at the ends against a velvety blue-
grey colour," she says.
"It has a farmhouse sink and black smart faucet and
hardware, and white integrated range hood that is set
against beautiful white cabinetry with wood accents."
This Oak Bluff West kitchen incorporates two wall-tile colours
and an extra-wide pantry with three doors that match the
blue-grey colour of the island for a cohesive finish.
Cabinet colours continue to be a key component of any
eye-catching kitchen design. Hues such as soft greens,
greys, grey-greens and blues are on trend, often paired
with warm wood accents.
