Modern Farmhouse
You’re inspired by the warmth and simplicity of farmhouse living. From plush, comfortable chairs you can sink right into, to the weathered wood of exposed beams, Modern Farmhouse is your style. Yours is a fresh take on country-inspired design, mixing a clean, contemporary aesthetic with the coziness of the traditional farmhouse look. Warm whites and creams, earthy shades, natural wood accents, and vintage pieces are a must in your decor. You also emphasize function and practicality in your design.
Here are some suggestions to pull off this style:
Use a 60-30-10 color palette, with warm white or cream as your dominant color, followed by earthy shades of grays, tans and browns. A bold neutral might be your accent color, or you may prefer to include a pop of a bright hue.
Natural wood accents are a must! Consider design elements such as exposed beams, weathered wood tables, and sliding barn doors.
Don’t forget layering soft, airy textures into your rooms: flowing linen drapes, cozy throws and pillows.
Steer clear of the floral and paisley prints typical of farmhouse styles from the past. Instead, embrace neutrals in a variety of textures and materials.
For purely decorative elements, take a cue from industrial-inspired pieces. Many of these are based on the machinery used for farming and thus pair seamlessly with your aesthetic: iron-style light fixtures, galvanized metal planters, antique chalkboards.
