As Seen In: Farmhouse Baskets - Country Style Feb 2025

French Knot is delighted to share that our rustic rattan storage baskets have been featured in the February 2025 issue of Country Style magazine. The beautifully styled shoot, captured by photographer Warren Heath, highlights a modern farmhouse kitchen that blends timeless charm with a touch of vintage industrial edge.

Modern Farmhouse with a Vintage Industrial Twist

This feature showcases the kind of kitchen we all dream of - where practicality meets warmth and timeless style. The look begins with classic farmhouse foundations: whitewashed brick walls, timber benchtops, and a deep farmhouse sink. These are then given a modern refresh with clean-lined open shelving, raw industrial-style taps, and understated storage solutions that feel as authentic as they are useful.

The result is a space that feels lived-in and inviting, while still refined enough for modern life.

It celebrates the best of modern farmhouse style, layering rustic textures and timeless forms with subtle industrial details that ground the space.

Rustic Rattan Basket

At the heart of this look are the rattan storage baskets tucked neatly under the sink and into open shelving. Their woven texture instantly softens the strong lines of timber and stone, while offering a stylish solution for storing everything from pantry items to cleaning essentials.

Practicality and beauty are perfectly balanced here. The baskets don't just hide away clutter - they also add an organic warmth and tactile element that makes the space feel welcoming. This is the essence of farmhouse styling: functionality elevated by natural textures.

At French Knot, we carry a curated collection of rattan storage baskets in a variety of shapes and sizes, designed to slip seamlessly into kitchens, pantries, and living spaces. Whether you choose sturdy pantry baskets or wheeled storage hampers, they bring instant farmhouse character to your home.

How to Create This Style at Home

If you've been inspired by this Country Style feature, you can easily bring the look into your own interiors with a few thoughtful additions.

Choose Functional Farmhouse Accessories

vintage-style dish rack, rustic breadboards, or enamelware pieces can give your kitchen that practical, timeless feel. These small touches instantly set the mood of a farmhouse kitchen.

Layer Natural Textures

Rattan baskets, timber shelves, and linen accents are essential to softening the strong lines of cabinetry and benchtops. They also add depth and authenticity.

Keep to a Simple Colour Palette

Stick with soft whites, warm timbers, and earthy tones. This restrained palette allows the texture and form of your pieces to shine without feeling cluttered.

Invest in Classic Dinnerware

White dinnerware, like our Provincial-style plates, is a staple for farmhouse kitchens. Their elegant simplicity works for everyday meals and for entertaining.

Mix in Industrial Elements

A brushed metal light fitting, exposed tapware, or wire storage rack can add just the right amount of vintage industrial character. The key is to use these sparingly to balance the rustic charm.
