Think AGAs, hops and distressed wood. The farmhouse style always keeps its charm and looks even better with age, meaning it won’t matter if things suffer the odd knock – it will only add to its charm. This look isn’t for everyone, clean lines and clear work surfaces this is not, but carefully placed clutter is iconic of this style.

If you have a country house and want a modern twist on the farmhouse style, Shaker style kitchens are the perfect option. Shaker designs are famous for their simplicity and timeless style, the beauty of this style is that it works just as well in a traditional country kitchen as it does in a modern, open plan living space.
Beams shouldn’t limit your décor options in a room, instead, embrace period features by accentuating them with areas of classic wallpaper patterns, whilst mirroring the wood of the beams in the room’s furniture.
Farmhouse style doesn’t have to mean natural, mix materials such as steel and wood for a more contemporary look.
But to achieve the true farm house look you need an AGA. And if that is a stretch too far, AGA now do models for the city folk with all the AGA appeal, but with the familiar induction or gas hob.
