The modern farmhouse look is one of the most popular looks in recent years with the rise of TV shows like Fixer Upper. Today on our blog, we re showing you the easiest way to create this look and where to find some of the pieces!
Lots of Barn Wood
It should come to no surprise that one of the key facets of this trend involves barn wood. While actual barn wood may be difficult, pricy and a little messy, there are lots of furniture brands that offer this look! Look for distressed, rustic finishes or brands like Hooker Furniture in our store.
Neutral Colors
Avoid bright colors when decorating your farmhouse space. Farmhouse colors are meant to look aged or vintage, so choose your yellows, blues and reds with gray undertones. Add pops of pastels and other stormy colors to pair with neutral walls and furniture.
Incorporate Metals
Brass and iron are gorgeous metals to incorporate into your look. Accent your guest room with an iron bedframe and add light fixtures with rustic metals. Mix and match the old and new. Head to a flea market to grab some accent pieces for your coffee table or walls that use rusted metals.
Light Fabrics
Linen, burlap and other textured fabrics are perfect for upholstery or accented items in your d cor. We love slipcover sofas because of their versatility and soft look. There are so many DIY farmhouse looks you can create with burlap, grain sacks and other repurposed fabrics online!
Dimensional Elements
The farmhouse look incorporates a lived-in or vintage look. There are lots of accents on the wall, floral elements, throw pillows and other cozy pieces that catch your eye when looking at the design. That s one of the reasons this trend is so fun to recreate. Create dimension with layered fabrics, open consoles and wall pieces.
