Modern Farmhouse Bedroom

Full of opportunities to make the farmhouse modern trend your own style, why not start in the bedroom by creating a welcoming and cozy haven that you’ll never want to leave? Since natural materials are everything with farmhouse modern, layering up on woods, stone, and plush woven fibers is key to achieving a balanced look. Start with a neutral area rug to anchor your space, paired with a solid oak wood bed accented by storage solutions in the form of dressers and nightstands, and then round out with a simple floor mirror and wall art to effortlessly accent your ideal space for relaxation and recharging.

Modern Farmhouse Kitchen Ideas

When redecorating a space in modern farmhouse style, staying neutral is key, but incorporating contrasting colors can also elevate your space with your own touch of style. Layered shades of creams, whites, grays, and browns mesh perfectly with darker tones of black, charcoal, navy blues, and even dark greens. A striking pendant design illuminates your kitchen island countertop in style while the visible grain of a wood bar stool brings the natural material look to the forefront of your space. Add in your favorite rustic-chic decor pieces and dinner is served.

Modern Farmhouse Dining Table Ideas

The modern interpretation of farmhouse style is considerate of each piece within your home and offers a more curated style that leans towards a minimalist style rather than piling on the frills and accents. For modern farmhouse dining tables, it's all about material, shape, and finish. Go for a natural finish with solid oak wood for a rustic meets neutral vibe, or choose a richly finished wood design for incredible warmth and lasting charm. Metal designs in black add a handsome and unexpected look to your dining space and can effortlessly be balanced out with cream-colored walls and layered wood accents.

Modern Farmhouse Dining Chair Ideas

The allure of farmhouse modern design is that it is a celebration of imperfection and vintage charm, so not everything has to be perfectly matching at all times. Selecting a dining chair for your dining table, matching styles is perfectly fine, but going for a more stand-out look with woven rattan or a mix of materials brings depth and dimension to your dining space and draws the eye in. Incorporating another design style such as industrial or Scandinavian works perfectly here as a seamless integration of style trends to create an overall look that is cohesive and fresh.

Modern Farmhouse Decor Ideas

When designing a modern farmhouse space, the final step is filling your space with accents and decor that accurately tie together the whole look without overwhelming your room and crowding your space.

Use a decorative lantern to display candles and flank doorways or accent empty corners for a welcomed touch of flickering light. A modern farmhouse mirror is great for a variety of spaces to reflect light and make a room feel more open and spacious, while textured throw pillows and natural marble bowls create an elevated, yet cozy space that is ready for entertaining and relaxation.
