Is the farmhouse kitchen trend over?

The heavy shiplap-and-signs version has faded. The cleaner modern farmhouse (Shaker doors, natural wood, black accents) is still widely chosen.

What countertops go with farmhouse cabinets?

White quartz, soapstone, or butcher block. Many kitchens mix quartz on the perimeter with wood on the island.

How much does a farmhouse kitchen cost?

For an average 150 sq ft kitchen, a farmhouse refresh on existing cabinets typically runs $8,000–$20,000, a full remodel $25,000–$60,000, and a high-end redesign $70,000 or more. Worth the splurge: an apron-front sink. It defines the style more than anything else.
