The term “farmhouse” holds emotional and historical significance in Iowa. This is why the rise of Farmhouse Modern interiors has been fascinating to witness, and it’s no secret why. One of the main reasons for its widespread and rapid embrace is its approachability, which is why we’ve been captivated by this timeless style for many years here at BY DESIGN. Farmhouse Modern interiors often strike a clean balance between being relaxed and being comfortable while still appearing sleek and clean.
Here are a few timeless elements that will make this style work in any home:
Create an inviting atmosphere with wooden accents
What would a farmhouse modern interior be without wooden accents? By incorporating wooden accents into your space, you can instantly add charm and a timeless feel. Consider adding a beautiful wooden table or bookcase as a focal point in your room.
Additionally, if you’re looking for a bolder approach you can install a wood countertop, wood-paneled ceiling, or even wood beams. These additions create a warm and inviting atmosphere that will make your space feel cozy and connected to nature.
Embrace black and white in your modern farmhouse
The stark contrast between these two colors adds depth and visual interest to any space, the classic color palette of black and white is a perfect fit for the clean style of Farmhouse Modern. Whenever you can add this combination to your space, it brings a touch of modernity to the timeless farmhouse aesthetic. Don’t forget to incorporate black elements such as light fixtures, cabinet handles, or decorative accents to create a striking contrast against the predominantly white backdrop.
Provide symmetry to your modern farmhouse with clean lines
Clean lines are essential in achieving a Farmhouse Modern look. Not only does this style embrace symmetry and order, it gives your home a sense of balance and harmony. You can also incorporate furniture and decor pieces with clean and sleek lines to create a modern vibe. Symmetry not only brings visual appeal but also guides your eyes and creates a focal point in the room. Whether it’s through symmetrical furniture arrangements or matching decor items, clean lines play a crucial role in achieving the Farmhouse Modern aesthetic.
There you have it! It’s important to note that designing a modern farmhouse involves more than just these three elements. It also includes mixing old and new accessories throughout the interior, adding texture such as board and batten siding, and incorporating industrial touches like metal roofs. However, starting with a core foundation of wooden accents, a black and white color palette, and clean lines is a great way to begin. From there, you can add your own personality and creativity to design a fun space that you love living in.
