01. Use Restraint In Your Décor
AMY BARTLAM
When it comes to modern farmhouse, it’s best to enjoy its simplicity. Stick to the basics, similar to minimalism, and rely on key pieces to set the tone in the room. Accessorize delicately so you don’t go overboard on the décor.
02. Mix Materials
ASHLEY WEBB INTERIORS
This design style relies on the use of natural materials, such as leather in the kitchen or brass in the living room. The unexpected use of these materials in the different spaces is what makes modern farmhouse décor so exciting. Even though it’s a traditional style, it doesn’t mean it can’t surprise.

03. Try Open Shelving
ASHLEY MONTGOMERY DESIGN
It wouldn’t be a relaxed and inviting style if it didn’t make the most of open shelving. Not only is open shelving effortlessly chic and casual, but it gives you the chance to highlight vintage glassware and dishes in an understated way.

04. Look for Exposed Beams

If you’re lucky enough to have exposed beams in your home, then you’re already halfway there and you should make the most of it! If you don’t have exposed beams, introduce elements with reclaimed wood or other natural features to achieve a similar vibe.
05. Try Shiplap In New Places
BRITT DESIGN STUDIO
Shiplap is the perfect material to use on an accent wall or to spice up a screened-in porch, but it’s definitely something to consider adding to your kitchen ceiling or in a mudroom if you want to shake things up a bit.
06. Opt For Natural Materials

If you’re trying to incorporate this style in your home, then bringing some vintage pieces in a delicate way is your best bet. A deep farmhouse sink in a kitchen or bathroom is ideal for your space, as well as using some brass fixtures and iron accents.

Antiqued bronze and faux candles or Edison bulbs are just some of the industrial elements you should add to your home paired with this comforting style. If you’re adding some fixtures to your space, go for rustic materials and soft lighting.

09. Opt For Neutral Colors
FINDING LOVELY
Neutral tones like white, tan, or gray are perfect to use with a modern farmhouse design. Of course, you can use bolder colors like blue or yellow to bring some personality to the interiors, but consider that your palette should feel warm and tranquil above everything else.
10. Consider Your Entryway
HOUSE SPRUCING
For a design so inviting, it’s only fair that the entryway should be an important room to introduce this feeling to as well.If you have a dedicated area for a mudroom or an entryway, take time to style a minimalist but intentional space. If you don’t have a dedicated entryway, a bench and a console can go a long way in creating the illusion of one.
11. Focus On Warmth
JESSICA NELSON DESIGN
Like we’ve said before, any space you’re decorating with this style needs to incorporate this feeling of warmth and tranquility. When you think of farmhouse, you should think of a slow-living lifestyle, meaningful pieces that are organically sourced and a neutral color palette that softens the vibe.
12. Try A Contrasting Palette
LA DESIGNER AFFAIR
A contrasting palette could be your best friend when decorating with a modern farmhouse style, especially considering that this brings a modern and elegant vibe that could be much needed in your home. Think black-and-white tiles in the bathroom or an island painted dark gray or black.
13. Mix Patterns
LINDSEY BROOKE DESIGN
You don’t have to worry about sticking to one specific pattern or color. In fact, you should be mixing it up, especially because the modern farmhouse design is such a relaxed style that works perfectly with contrasting patterns and prints that play off each other.
14. Work With Antique Pieces
M STARR DESIGN
You can definitely add some modern pieces into your home with this design, but you have the perfect chance to add some antiques and vintage pieces as well! Farmhouse means generational pieces have been infused or handed down, so that should be your ideal go-to when decorating your space and finding the best pieces.
15. Add In Farmhouse Accessories

While you definitely shouldn’t overdo it, with the risk of making you home feel too kitschy or themed, you could add some farmhouse accessories that stick to this style. Think rustic woven baskets, farmhouse sinks, or vintage signs. When paired with more modern pieces, these elements can make your home feel inviting.
