Home Decorating Furniture Design Dilemma

Can I mix a farmhouse look with with white coastal look?

4 years ago

I have a small space condo overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. All of the furniture in the living room is white with seaglass blue pillows and accessories. We have an open floor plan with the living room and dining area. Can we mix a farmhouse look dining table with a reclaimed wood top and white wood legs with our living room coastal look?

Since the table has white legs, I think it would easy blend into your costal living room. Just be sure to add coastal inspired table settings/accessories to the table to tie it all together. It's amazing what a simple runner and centerpiece can do to pull a room together!

Certainly. Both styles offer a certain casual, sometimes rustic, vibe. I would caution against leaning too far in either coastal or farmhouse direction though, as you don't want to create a "themed" home. Just use what you love and aim for spaces that reflect your unique personality and the things you love.

If you are going with solid counters, any farmhouse sink can be upmounted rather than undermounted. You won't have a lip that rests on the counter though. The sink will abut the adjacent counters and have a bead of caulk in between. That caulk will eventually fail, and water will drip down into the cabinet, so keeping a vigilant eye one it (just like you would with an undermount sink) is necessary.

I think you will want to reconsider any white flange... any colored flange really, other than stainless steel, which won't scratch off. Like you I'd thought to use brass to match our 'kitchen jewelry' but then read too many reviews of those flanges going bad (scratching up, peeling, etc., within a few months) Decided to match the sink, then read the same about those. I emailed Kohler and asked if any of their flanges other than stainless steel were solid material all the way through - answer was no. I'm going with stainless steel. The sinks, after all, will have stainless steel grates as well.

We have Norway Narvik Bronze in our new build and love it! https://interceramicusa.com/products/detail/norway/252115 We choose wood look tile because of our large dogs and children. We've been here 2+ months. Plenty of spills, one tummy virus, and drool spots - all cleaned up perfectly. It's throughout the house and bathrooms with the bedrooms and office carpeted.

The Elkay Quartz Luxe sinks outperform fireclay and enameled cast iron. Fireclay is unrepairable; you can put typing fluid over the chips in your enamel until the cast iron undeneath begins to rust. The color goes all the way through the Elkay, so even it you chip it, you aren't dead. It's so hard to scratch, I have to put a diamond blade in a grinder to alter the sink flanges. Only comes in 36" though, so get a bigger cabinet please.
