Build The Look: Modern Farmhouse

Jun 15, 2022

Modern Farmhouse

Rustic yet chic, contemporary yet country—modern farmhouse style marries the best of old and new.
This week we are inspired by contemporary twists on the classic style in our homes, let's build the look with our roundup of modern farmhouse decor ideas. The key to achieving the 
modern farmhouse look is all about comfort. Furniture should invite you to sit down, and nothing should look as though it's too fragile to touch. There's a lived-in feeling that invites a sense of laughter and fun.

Start with a colour palette of warm or cool neutrals (cream, beige, sage, and grey all work well), and pair with natural wood tones.  A little wear and tear goes a long way too - scratches, knots, and nicks add to the authenticity of the look.


Modern farmhouse style is largely made up of neutral colours, so you'll need a mix of textures to keep your space from looking too flat!  Mix woods and metals with fabrics like cotton, canvas, wool or velvet for an inviting look that's ready-to harvest.


For added interest, layer in some varied metals such as antique light fixtures, hardware, and architectural details, like railings on your stairwell.  We love to marry these elements with organic materials to keep the space feeling as though it's connected to the outdoors.


Accessories are the final, and most important element!  A few well-placed accessories and decor pieces are the finishing touch.
