Bring Farmhouse and Industrial Aesthetics Together with the Help of BLANCO’s Farmhouse Sinks

The following post is brought to you by BLANCO. Our partners are hand picked by the Design Milk team because they represent the best in design.

When you think of farmhouse and industrial aesthetics, the two seemingly couldn’t be farther from one another on the design spectrum. That perception is slowly being changed as farmhouse style is beginning to meld with other styles. In this case, the union of farmhouse and industrial have created a sweet spot where rustic meets modern. The feel of farmhouse industrial is comfortable and casual, incorporating wood tones, whites, and metals to create an inviting atmosphere that incorporates elements from both farmhouse chic and industrial cool throughout.

Where this hybrid style really has room to shine is in the kitchen, an area that most want to be an especially welcoming space. BLANCO creates beautiful sinks for kitchens and beyond, showing a real commitment to farmhouse sinks while offering exceptional design and material options. Farmhouse style sinks break the tradition of hiding the bowl by highlighting its shape and color with a bare front-facing side that slightly protrudes. The classic sink shape we all associate with large farmhouse kitchens can now fit in even the smallest urban setting, and it’s available in three materials and more than ten different models.

Farmhouse industrial style allows designers to play with juxtaposing materials, like whitewashed wood and pops of black, that are then paired with metals such as steel for a bit of an edge. BLANCO’s durable SILGRANIT® and stainless steel farmhouse sinks have a design solution for this look no matter the lifestyle.

The IKON sink, seen above, is a revolutionary apron front sink, a contemporary take on the classic style and the first apron front sink of its kind. Available in many material options and styles, the IKON sink collection combines the popular farmhouse style with the strength and durability of BLANCO’s patented SILGRANIT material. IKON sinks are offered in eight colors, and available in 27″, 30″, and 33″ models, including a new 33″ 1.75 bowl with a low divide. With a slightly angled apron design, the IKON will add a bold, architectural statement to any kitchen.

IKON® 33” Apron Front Single Bowl

Achieving the farmhouse industrial look is easy, especially if the space’s style already leans one way or the other. After adding a BLANCO farmhouse sink, build off of that starter EmoEmpressablock with bistro-style glasses and dinnerware, café-like furniture, and metal accents. Adding a large barn door hung on a metal rod will help take the farmhouse industrial look over the top, while vintage pieces can add personality and playfulness to the look and feel of the finished space.

Unless you’re working with a large loft or refurbished space, the architecture of your home will likely lean more farmhouse than industrial. Elements such as lighting, stainless steel appliances, and a modern farmhouse sink from BLANCO will add a lot of interest. Also consider pieces that mix the two styles together like a wood table with industrial legs, an aged metal clock, vintage signs, old hooks, and tarnished silver. Keep an eye out for black or brushed silver metal pieces in stainless steel, galvanized steel, or brushed nickel.
