Farmhouse Kitchen Canisters

What We Like: Distressed red paint and vintage advertising

Perfect For: Adding a vintage touch to kitchen

Add a touch of farmhouse charm to your kitchen decor with this rustic canister set. These beautifully crafted tin canisters feature a distressed, fire engine red finish and chicken-themed typography, including “Dairy fresh,” “Curly dairy farm chicken eggs,” and “Farm fresh chicken eggs.” The wide, narrow handles on top of the lid allow for easy grip.  

Because the canisters are not food-safe, style them on open shelves or your kitchen counter, surrounded by vintage kitchenware, such as an old-fashioned enamel coffee pot or a set of mason jars. To highlight their rustic appeal, place them on top of a reclaimed wood tray or a weathered wood cutting board. 

 I love these antique looking canisters! I use them on my shelving as part of my farmhouse rustic theme throughout my home. They look perfect!

What We Like: Chalkboard labeling strip

Perfect For: Minimalist aesthetic kitchen

Upgrade your kitchen with this farmhouse kitchen canister set. Crafted from earthenware, this set of three canisters is rust, fade, chip, and scratch-resistant. Its airtight seal keeps your food fresh, while the chalkboard labeling strip allows you to change the contents easily. With a minimal design in distressed white, it seamlessly blends in with any country kitchen decor. It’s functional, durable, and stylish, making it a must-have addition to your kitchen ensemble.

Place the canister set on open shelves or a wooden tray on your countertop for easy access. Pair the set with wooden utensils and cutting boards, or a vintage scale to create a cozy and warm farmhouse feel. To add a pop of color, place fresh herbs or flowers in a vase nearby.

I love that you can write on the outside on the chalk label, it’s very country looking and not too big.

What We Like: Large capacity

Perfect For: Storing large quantities of ingredients.

Crafted from high-quality ceramic, this large-capacity farmhouse canister set of three is fashionable and functional, featuring a glossy white glaze and earthenware finish for a modern look. The rubber, air-tight seal on each lid keeps the contents fresh for longer, and with various capacities, including 3.75 quarts, 2.187 quarts, and 0.937 quarts, this set offers ample storage for all your kitchen essentials. The canisters are lead-free, food-safe, and perfect for any modern kitchen.  

Use the larger canisters for staples like flour, sugar, or pasta, and the smaller canister for tea bags or spices. Create a cohesive look by pairing the set with other modern minimal kitchen accessories, such as sleek stainless steel appliances or white marble cutting boards. 

These are really nice. I wanted larger ones, they are! The large one will hold almost 7 pounds of flour. But they’re really classy looking.

One of the first images we picture when thinking about the countryside is obviously its fauna, and especially farm animals.

To focus on this aspect, choose a country kitchen canister set that represents them, whether through a patterned motif or larger decorations.

As you can see, there are several designs that can work well with this farmhouse country twist.

Another trick to maintain its rustic inspiration but emphasize the contemporary side of things is to stick to the white and wood combo but in a squared design.

After all, clean and symmetrical lines are pretty much synonymous with contemporary interiors.

Not all country decor styles are heavy on details and decorative elements! If you prefer a slightly more contemporary approach, you could consider focusing on its farmhouse country variation.

When it comes to kitchen canister sets, this will usually involve a simpler design in a combination of white and a natural wood finish.

Some country kitchen canister sets also offer you the perfect compromise between a more streamlined farmhouse design and the abundance of details that characterizes the most traditionally rustic interiors.

For example, you could combine clean lines and simpler motifs, either monochrome or in delicate tones.

While this can change slightly depending on this style’s different variations, most country decors revolve around plenty of details.

That’s why, to complement your kitchen, you can simply choose an ornate canister set: for example, one featuring harmonious lines or intricate carvings. 

In the same way, you can decide to homage the flora and natural inspiration that characterizes this rustic decor style.

For example, your new country kitchen canister set could involve wildflowers and leafy accents.

This will allow you to maintain a more delicate approach and even emphasize the pastel colors of your palette.

The country decor style has come back in popularity also thanks to the #cottagecore aesthetic that has been conquering hearts on Instagram and TikTok, especially in the past couple of years.

Once again, a set showcasing an abundance of details is key, and so are recognizable motifs inspired by nature and the countryside, perhaps with a vintage twist too (psst: just like these charming rustic country kitchen canisters!).

As well as with iconic patterns and motifs, there are different ways to incorporate some vintage inspiration in your new country kitchen canister set.

For example, what do you think of a design featuring a retro typeface?

Choosing durable metal will also give you some extra peace of mind in the kitchen (particularly recommended if you have kids).

As we mentioned before, glass can also work divinely in a country style kitchen. The secret is to utilize the actual food to decorate that area, for example by using them to store colorful ingredients (like dry pasta) or familiar ones (like flour).

Just be careful with coffee beans: while we know that they’d look super aesthetically pleasing in a glass canister, they’d also oxidize more quickly (unless you keep it behind a closed cupboard, of course).
