There is something about the farmhouse decor that reminds us of simpler times, whether it’s the “grandma” kitchen style, the rustic wood finishes and furniture, or the casual feel that gives a gentle nod to country vibes. But suffice to say, even though the trend is fading away, it isn’t going away. The farmhouse decor will always have a place in the heart of good old fashioned people and some of us love when our homes speak tradition and culture.

Approachability, classic materiality and brightness have been cited as the main reasons people are drawn to the farmhouse decor. However, many people believe it is its organic nature that trumps these reasons and makes people ditch other modern styles and move in favour of it.

Here are farmhouse looks that would make your visitors deem you a custodian of style and reaffirm that the farmhouse decor is still, truly alive.

Simplicity, monochromaticity and smooth lines are hallmarks of the modern farmhouse. The natural woven centre table, wooden cabinets and chairs complete the traditional farmhouse look in this contemporary setting. The white walls are a classic farmhouse colour scheme as it gives the clean bright light back to us, which of course is an essential feature of the farmhouse style. And who says the farmhouse style has to stick to a monochromatic palette? The warm and distinct blue colours of the sofas add a pop of variance to this room in a manner that’s welcoming.

 

This home is perfect for those drawn to a simpler style and craving for a clean and clutter-free home. There is something quiet about this room in a way that makes it beautiful. It serves as proof that less can actually be more. The pendant lighting adds sparkle to the room. The white walls and whitewashed flooring go together like peanut butter and jelly. The hung wall art, vintage wooden cabinets and flower vase help capture the desired farmhouse look that is well put together. If you really want to make a statement with this room you can add faux taxidermy to give it the perfect farmhouse finish.

 

Nothing screams traditional farmhouse decor than this distressed wood cabinets and the natural wood flooring with all its imperfections. The flowers help bring a natural and airy feel to the room while the rustic white wood window offsets the vintage vibe to the entire space.

Clean lines, lightwood flooring, bright white and a minimalist approach are necessary ingredients to curate a modern farmhouse with a scandi feel. This room embraces all four ingredients and even more. From the wood accents that give this room a down-to-earth feel to the open shelves and creeping plants which makes this space even more visually interesting and gives it a new lease of life- this room is an embodiment of beauty. The vinyl floor finish and the naturally exposed woods combine these two distinct looks perfectly. The pendant lighting adds the right amount of scandi-feel to this room.
