Modern Farmhouse Style
Modern Farmhouse designs infuse metropolitan and suburban homes with diverse icons of industrial living, family heritage and the great outdoors. Whether you’re using one dramatic piece or an entire collection, family heirlooms bring personality and comfort into a space while providing an interesting dichotomy when paired with cool, modern metals. Similar hues harmonize in a monochromatic color scheme, creating a relaxing, homespun atmosphere. Modern Farmhouse doors feature unique details, including wider stiles and rails. Add to their charm with Painted, Burnished and Vintage finishes.
- The “farmhouse” aspect of this trend takes its inspiration from the classic farmhouse style of mid-19th century rural America.
- Clean lines and minimal (but warm and distinct) decor are hallmarks of this style.
- The look employs a simple high-contrast color scheme: black, whites and creams, and wood elements—often using reclaimed wood.
- There is typically an industrial or raw component—use of mixed metals, pipe shelving, oversized industrial style lighting, repurposed materials, etc.
- “Modern farmhouse” mixes old and new, vintage and modern (and a healthy amount of ship lap) to create a warm, personal tone.
- Last but not least: container of hydrangeas and/or branches/greenery = important.
