Farmhouse style became extremely popular years ago due to a certain show where the hosts “fixed up” old homes (I won’t name names 😀), and the style still going strong today! If you’re in love with this style like so many others, here are some tips to help achieve the look:
- Use natural wood textures to add warmth and character; the more imperfect and/or reclaimed the wood finish, the more rustic your farmhouse space will be.
- Choose a neutral color palette. Earthy neutrals like browns and ivories work well with wood textures, and while farmhouse designs don’t have to be neutral, they are generally associated with colors and textures that you would find in nature (or on a farm).
- Add greenery such as trees, table top plants, dried leaf arrangements, etc.
- Layer rich and natural materials and textiles such as linen, cotton, or wool.
- Choose art that’s inspired by nature.
- Use traditional patterns such as plaid or grainsack inspired stripes.
- Add a splash of galvanized metal–a material reminiscent of what you would find on a farm.
Follow these tips, and you’ll be on your way to the rustic charm of Farmhouse style, creating a look in your home that’s both cozy and stylish.
