A farmhouse/country-style interior can be tricky to achieve. While it projects warm and comforting vibes, it can risk looking dated or just out of place with the wrong colour palette, accessories and furniture.
Here are 5 ways to achieve the modern farmhouse interior look.
1. Natural materials
Utilise wood, stone, and metals to create a rustic yet sophisticated feel. Reclaimed wood for furniture and architectural details is particularly popular.
2. Neutral colour palette
Stick to a colour scheme of whites, beiges, grays, and other neutral tones to evoke a calm, clean, and welcoming atmosphere.
3. Comfortable furnishings
Choose plush, comfortable furniture to create an inviting and cosy atmosphere, perfect for relaxation and social gatherings.
4. Vintage and Antique Elements
Incorporate vintage decor, antique furniture, or heirloom pieces to add character and a sense of history.
5. Touches of greenery
Incorporate plants and flowers, either real or faux, to bring a touch of nature indoors, enhancing the farmhouse’s connection to the outdoors.
