1. Select Black Appliances
The fastest way to achieve a moody farmhouse kitchen is by replacing your shiny silver appliances with matte black ones. Painting surrounding cabinets and the island in a matching hue will emphasize the ebonized look. But be sure to bring in metallic accents by selecting a range with gilded knobs and, of course, some timeless copper cookware for that true farmhouse vibe.
Pair a warm hardwood floor with stunning grained island and matching wood stools but don't forget to mix mediums! A solid white marble countertop contrasted with dark steel chair legs and a dark wall tile all make for a modern and edgy look. Bring in an angular wood and steel pendant light if you want some additional gravitas.
It's entirely possible to get that moody kitchen feel with just wood alone. Pick a smoky brown hue for cabinetry and open shelving. Select a heavily veined marble countertop that extends into a matching backsplash that will be seen from behind the shelves for a crisp two-tone effect. Bring in a gold faucet and matching sink to impart a luxe and unique pop that is sure to grab attention.
If you are looking for something a little less dramatic than solid black, charcoal is a fantastic alternative that provides the same effect. A white apron sink and open shelving provide a lighter touch too. Select crisp white dinnerware for pops of light throughout the space and keep all visible decor to a minimalist style for a clean but brooding aesthetic.
When it comes to moody farmhouse kitchens, you cannot go wrong with the wood/metal combo. It doesn't hurt to add black to the mix either. Don't shy away from the black paint, but make sure to include visual relief by way of gold hardware to dot glimmers all around. Include wood pendant lighting and stool backs to lighten the feel of the kitchen even further.
To keep your moody farmhouse kitchen looking soulfully dark without using too much black, play with different shades of gray and white. Match a dark kitchen island with cool gray chairs and a dove gray patterned tile for effect. Use a large white and black rug beneath the island to help define and ground the space at the same time but make sure it is machine washable in case of any food spills!
For a more modern twist, stick to a gray and brown color scheme and then use an array of patterns for visual intrigue. Choose slate cabinets as your foundation and install with a herringbone parquet floor and matching wood table to a dynamic effect. Pair them with a black and white checkered rug for a bold contrast and a black speckled granite countertop to maintain a few of those dark hues.
Try a more unexpected color like a deep olive green for a soothing feeling. Pick a table and bar stool set in a modern farmhouse wood and metal style for some earthy elements and incorporate mixed metals to add shine and contrast. A metallic faucet and copper cookware are great options to help you design an inviting kitchen area you'll never want to leave.
Turn your moody farmhouse kitchen into a modern haven by creating a uniform feel with your appliances and cabinetry. Opt for stainless steel finishes and doors with no hardware for a solid singular appearance. Pick a white kitchen island with no edges and simplistic bar stools to stick to that stylish minimalist appearance. Don't forget to include glossy black tiles to create a lovely shadowy alcove!
Your moody kitchen doesn't just need to rely on color to be effective, in fact, you can make yours feel more like a dreamy art gallery by focusing on shapes. Emphasizing straight lines in particular will provide a more cohesive feeling without too much work. Long silver bar pulls paired with an angular steel range hood and oven will add warmth and reflect light while imparting a homogeneous look against black cabinetry.
If you are lucky enough to have exposed beams and/or real wood floors in an airy open plan kitchen – use those as your core features. From there you can extend the space using an oversized graphic black area rugs that joins it to a living or dining room. Choose a mahogany dining table and chairs to provide continuation from the black bar stools. And finally, duplicate angular pendant lighting for extra personality and character.
Navy blue is a great starting point if black or charcoal is a little too daring. You can still embrace those moody hues, and add to your collection as you grow. The point of the moody kitchen trend is to go big and bold with a dark maximalist inspiration. But for now, start out with a warm wood floor, table, and chairs to contrast a brick backsplash.
