How To Incorporate Modern Farmhouse Style In Your Living Room?
A cozy, livable mix of past and present, modern farmhouse living rooms often feature white walls, vaulted ceilings, copious windows, decorative ceiling beams, shiplap walls, barn doors, vintage-style lighting, and neutral palettes. With a focus on natural materials like wood, metal, and stone, these homey rooms often feature a layout that is organized around a central fireplace.
Use light neutrals as a base: 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. Look for salvaged woods that have some wear and tear whenever possible.
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. Generally, using no more than three metals per room is best.
Use organic materials to make the space feel as though it’s connected to the outdoors. Wood floors and architectural details are best, but consider introducing stone, wicker, rattan, sisal, and other natural materials wherever it makes sense.
Accessories are essential, but you should not overdo it and try to squeeze in too many. A few well-placed accessories that are given room to breathe are all you need to complete the look.
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.
