Fantastic Farmhouse Sinks

Designer James Farmer used a deep red runner to add a pop of color to the white walls and granite-topped cabinetry in this traditional kitchen. A deep, dusky blue island provides additional countertop space, and a weathered ceiling beam adds contrast.

A huge wall of windows over the sink area brings lots of natural light into this central hub kitchen designed to be both attractive and functional.

Industrial pendants are an unexpected design twist in this open plan kitchen, a touch of edginess in a dark, contrasting color. A gray runner helps tie the lighting into the rest of the room.
