Modern Farmhouse, Piece by Piece

Best dresser

From

Dark, richly-grained mango with antique brass cup handles — the dresser every farmhouse kitchen is built around. Storage with genuine character rather than a flat-pack shrug.

Best bed

From

Rough-sawn, weathered pine with a solid panelled headboard — a bed with the honest, hard-wearing warmth the whole look is built on. Layer it with linen and a wool throw.

Best coffee table

From

Warm mid-tone mango on turned legs, with a slatted shelf for the books and baskets. Round edges keep it soft — the friendly, knockabout heart of a country living room.

Best media unit

From

Reclaimed-look oak slung in a black metal frame — the rugged, rustic-industrial cousin of the classic dresser, sized low and wide for the TV and everything under it.

Best bench

From

A chunky slab of solid pine on simple block legs — as happy at the end of a bed as it is in a hallway or squeezed alongside the table. Honest, warm and built to last.
