The most beautiful kitchens and dining rooms
The key to achieving the modern farmhouse look is a matter of comfort. The furniture should invite you to sit and nothing should feel too fragile to the touch. There is a sense of home that invites laughter and fun.
Start with a warm or cool neutral color palette (cream, beige, silver, sage and gray work well), then layer in natural wood tones. Look for reclaimed wood that has some wear and tear whenever possible. Stripes, knots and nicks add to the authenticity of the look.
Feel free to use the colors you love as accent pieces, but in order to stay true to the look, try to keep the overall color scheme neutral, with light colors. The contrasting black elements add a bit of edge.
Be sure to use a variety of textures to add depth to the look. Mix woods and metals and combine fabrics like cotton, canvas, wool, chenille or whatever you like. Since the modern farmhouse style is largely composed of neutral colors, you’ll need a mix of textures to keep the space from looking flat.
Coating in some mixed metals by means of lighting fixtures; Hardware; and architectural details, such as railings. As a general rule, it is best to use no more than three metals per piece.
Use organic materials to make the space feel connected to the outdoors. Wood floors and architectural details are best, but also consider introducing stone, wicker, rattan, sisal and other natural materials wherever it makes sense.
Accessories are an important element, but you should never overdo it and try to put too much on. A few well-placed, breathable accessories are all you need to complete the look.
