Farmhouse Dining Room & Bar Furniture

Farmhouse dining room sets come in a range of setups including large traditional tables designed for six or eight people and small tables for a party of four. Many of these sets come with matching chairs, but others forgo the chairs on one or both sides in lieu of a bench, which enhances the farmhouse feel. For a more casual look in the kitchen or anywhere space is limited, a three-piece nook set is ideal. It features an L-shaped bench for the corner, a table, and an additional bench for the third side of the table.

Perfect for rec rooms or finished basements, bar and pub sets also work in kitchens or small, casual dining rooms. These sets are usually counter height, and they come in a range of sizes. There are small pub sets that seat two for a cozy drink and a chat as well as full-size dining sets that let the whole family eat at an elevated height.

These cocktail and home bars are distinguished by their reclaimed wood materials and simple farmhouse-inspired styles. There are side bars designed for holding glasses along with bottles of wine and liquor. Some cocktail bars feature wheels, so you can enjoy a libation after dinner in the lounge or outside on the patio, while others feature a sturdy design ideal for permanent placement in the dining or living room.

The perfect complement to a farmhouse dining table, a buffet often matches or at least resonates with the style of the dining room table. They are the traditional place to lay out a spread in the dining room, and to make that possible, they tend to have relatively large wooden tops. Buffets also feature drawers and cabinets for storage. So you can display the contents of your buffet, some feature glass doors, open shelves, and built-in wine racks. Other buffets have been modernized and turned into TV stands, while still others feature hutches for extra storage, but in all cases, they retain their farmhouse style.

In terms of size and style, sideboards are the same as buffets. Traditionally, the difference boils down to where these cabinets are displayed. While buffets traditionally go in the dining room, sideboards go in the living room. There, they are the perfect place to store cocktail ingredients or other essentials. Because these sideboards feature a farmhouse style, you can expect to find a lot of knotty woods and reclaimed materials.

As implied by the name, china cabinets are cabinets to display china or other fine dishes. Generally, these cabinets feature shelves with glass doors, which are ideal for displaying your best china and stemware, but they also tend to have drawers for cloth napkins, table linens, silverware, or napkin rings. Some farmhouse china cabinets combine a buffet and a hutch, so they can meet your storage needs while also providing an extra place to set side dishes.

Some farmhouse tables come with benches, but you can also buy benches separately to place with an existing table. On top of that, there are also entryway benches in the farmhouse style. Some of these benches come with bottom shelves for stowing shoes or umbrellas, and some even feature a hinged lid that opens into a storage cavity. Others get paired with hooks or shelves. That creates a space for taking off your boots after milking the cows or feeding the urban chickens, alongside a spot to stow coats, hats, and other outerwear.
