In a transitional farmhouse kitchen, incorporating a decorative plate rack can bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary styles. Opt for a plate rack made of wood with a combination of rustic and modern elements, such as clean lines and distressed finishes. This will create a harmonious display for your plates, blending the farmhouse charm with a contemporary twist. The plate rack can be placed on open shelves or mounted on the wall, adding character and functionality to the kitchen.
