How To Incorporate Modern Farmhouse Style In Your Living Room?
Let’s start from the backdrop: white walls, vaulted ceilings, copious windows, decorative ceiling beams, shiplap walls, barn doors, vintage-style lighting, and neutral palettes. Organize the room around a fireplace, it’ll be your main feature here; focus on natural materials like wood, metal, and stone creating the backdrop and the fireplace.
Now for the colors here: start with a color palette of warm or cool neutrals (cream, beige, silver, sage, and gray all work well), then layer in some natural wood tones.
Reclaimed, salvage and worn wood will add charm and interest to the space being more tactile, and texture is a hot trend. Use a variety of textures to give the look some depth. Mix woods and metals, and combine fabrics, such as cotton, canvas, wool, chenille, or whatever else you like. Layer in some mixed metals through light fixtures, hardware, and architectural details like railings. Find our guide on mixing metals here.
Continue integrating texture into your space: use organic materials to make it feel as though it’s connected to the outdoors. Introduce stone, wicker, rattan, sisal, and other natural materials wherever it makes sense. Consider this style as a blend of comfortable, older rustic furniture with some cozy modern styles. For example, heirloom, vintage, or antique wood furniture pieces like coffee tables or desks are an excellent addition to a room with a classic contemporary sofa in neutral white, cream, gray, beige, or brown.
