21 Best Modern Farmhouse Living Room Decor Ideas

Farmhouse living rooms are one of the most homey types of family rooms you can decorate. If you love Joanna Gaines’ signature style, then a farmhouse home is perfect for you. From tufted sofas to shiplap walls to rustic wood coffee tables, there are lots of elements that are key to the perfect farmhouse style living room.

Decorating the living room is a difficult task. Many people consider it one of the most important rooms in the home, especially if you have guests over often. It’s a room for enjoying the company of friends and family, relaxing at the end of a long day, watching a new film, playing games, and having important discussions. Comfort and practicality are two primary concerns when decorating the family room.

Modern Farmhouse Living Rooms

So what does a farmhouse-style living room feature? That’s what we’re going to share. Modern farmhouse decor is loved by so many people because it’s approachable, family-friendly, and best of all – affordable! It combines old country comfort with modern appeal.

Most pieces of farmhouse furniture are generally affordable, but you might want to invest a bit more if you’re looking for a high-quality piece that will last you generations to come. Pay attention to customer reviews, customer photos, material quality, and country of origin if you’re looking for farmhouse furniture and decor that will last!

Tufted Ottoman

Our very first modern farmhouse living room decorating idea is the ever classic beige tufted ottoman. I see ottomans popping up in living rooms everywhere. Their versatility is what makes them so attractive. They work as a comfortable footrest (beats wood, for sure), extra seating, and a typical low surface (with a tray on top). I don’t see this trend going away any time soon!

Check out our recommendation for the best Farmhouse ottomans, too!

@thegatewayhome

This living room space features a carved wood tray with a caged urn on top for decor. The base of the ottoman is made from distressed wood. The rest of the space was decorated in beige and gray tones. A beige sofa, faded gray rug and gray throw blanket are some of the key pieces. In the background, a rustic wood console table sits in the corner with a distressed window frame for decor, a small wreath, a distressed painted white table lamp, a set of plates, and a small floor cushion. A framed quote sits above the double doorway into the dining room.

Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus is a favorite plant for farmhouse-style decorating. Here, several eucalyptus branches flow out of a large glass vase on the coffee table. A rustic wood tray sits on the beige coffee table along with a few gold glass candles and a set of books.

@desertdecor

Behind the table, we see the linen roll arm sofa, which has three French stripes across the center of the upholstery fabric – a very French look! Three plant art prints hang above the sofa, framed in natural wood. To the side, a tall farmhouse floor lamp with a turned wood base illuminates the area.

Rustic Wood Furniture

Even in modern farmhouse homes, it’s all about bringing back the rustic charm of furniture from centuries past. The trick is to do it modestly – a touch of antique charm here and there. In this living room, a rustic reclaimed wood coffee table sits in front of a new white couch.

@lizmariegalvan

An antique ottoman is also available as a footrest, it appears. The space has a woven cotton rug, two wood accent cabinets in the background, and a wood frame mirror on the fireplace mantel. Each of these adds to the rustic charm of the space.

Sliding Barn Doors

This interior door is on the expensive side but can really bring out that farmhouse charm you crave in a space. The living room is the perfect place to install sliding barn doors like these. If you’re going to invest in some, it might as well be in the main family room of the home! These white sliding barn doors with black metal tracking separate the living space from other rooms in the home. Jute baskets with eucalyptus stems are centered on each door.

@randilynnblog

An iron frame mirror sits off to the side, flanked with a pretty eucalyptus wreath. The sectional white sofa with a chaise lounge offers lots of seating for guests and family. A natural wood side table and stool hold books and candles. Another eye-catching element is the giant cream chunky knit throw gently tossed on the edge of the couch. The walls are painted beige and the hardwood floors are a chestnut brown finish.

Woven Coffee Table Tray and Books

A jute coffee table tray is a great option for decorating the top of the coffee table in your Farmhouse living room. The woven tray can hold flowers, books, candles, and more as seen here. I love the birchwood candle, the white tulips, and the books by Liz Marie and Joanna Gaines to browse!

@hudsonfarmhouse

Beige Sectional Sofa

A lot of farmhouse living rooms have white sofas in them, but if this is too risky a design choice for you, then opt for a beige sectional sofa instead. It will give you that light and airy look, without staining as easily as white will. In any case, an abundance of throw pillows will help hide any sofa blemishes with the right placement!

@finding__lovely

Farmhouse family rooms always feature ample seating so sectionals are definitely the way to go if you have the square feet to fit one! This sofa is paired with an industrial-style wood and metal coffee table on wheels, some jute storage baskets, coffee table books, and a brass rimmed tray. Rustic, yet modern!

White Slipcovered Sofa

The slipcovered sofa is another popular seating choice for the living room. This one is particularly country in style. The room has a burlap-covered ottoman, a white metal tray, white metal pitchers, a distressed birdcage, empty vintage frames, and a distressed white wood shutter for decorations. It’s vintage, rustic, and oozes farmhouse charm!

@simplyfrenchmarket

Industrial Coffee Tables

This modern farmhouse living room has smartly incorporated an industrial-style coffee table into the mix. Industrial style decor and furniture are occasionally integrated into modern farmhouse homes – a trend I think works very well.

@clairelynnhome

This chic coffee table features a wood pallet top, metal corners, and giant iron wheels at the base. It’s surrounded by mostly modern furniture and decorations like a gray sectional sofa, round black mirror, galvanized flower bucket, and wood candlesticks. It’s definitely the statement piece of the room!

Painted White Wood Coffee Table

Another trend in farmhouse decorating for the home is painted furniture. Here, a small coffee table with drawers has been painted chalk white. Along with a white skirted sofa and a fluffy white rug, the space is airy and light. These pieces contrast well with the black frame windows and black iron curtain rods on the walls.

@adventuresindecorating1

Oversized Wall Clock

The large wooden wall clocks found on so many walls in farmhouse homes are a great decorating choice for your farmhouse living room walls. You can find them with roman numerals, French style, and classic. This one is white with a light beige frame. It has two galvanized flower buckets on either side.

@ourwintonhome

The two beige sofas and the natural wood coffee table reflect the room’s neutral color scheme. A beaded chandelier hangs down from the ceiling. There are quite a few great farmhouse living room decor ideas in this room, alone!

Lots of Fluffy Throw Pillows

The easiest way to decorate your farmhouse sofa is to put lots and lots of fluffy throw pillows all over it! Comfort is one of the primary tenets of farmhouse decorating so this one is a must. Square pillows can be used for back support, head support, and all other types of body-relaxing support! There are even a few more farmhouse pillows in a basket near the coffee table! This window-lined living room really has a lot going for it. The red barn outside the window is the dreamiest view!

@southernjarringco

Sheer White Curtains

While filtering light is important, you want to keep the room as light and airy as possible. That’s why sheer white curtains are a great choice for keeping your privacy while allowing light to enter your space. This living room has gold curtain rods and simple white curtains. The house plant nearby gets plenty of sunlight, I’m sure! The rolling metal cart, vintage style sofa, and chunky knit throw pillow are great farmhouse decorations, too.

@thevintageroad

Wagon Wheel Chandelier

The chandelier is centered above the farmhouse coffee table in this room. There’s also a beautiful wood ceiling beam visible, a classic element of Farmhouse living rooms!

@remingtonranchfarmhouse

The wagon wheel chandelier is without a doubt the most popular farmhouse living room pendant lighting fixture that I see. This ring-shaped fixture features a hoop lined with small light bulbs dotted around the perimeter. It’s held together by a few long bands which meet at the center. I often see it in a dark metal color, but you can also find wood ones and gold ones, too. You do need a bit of a higher ceiling in your living room to make this work.

Farm Animals Wall Art

This living room has a beautiful portrait of a horse on the wall. If you can incorporate farm animals into your space, that will really bring out the “farm” aspect of the style! Farms are known for their many different animals from sheep to horses to chickens to goats! Any type of farm animal decoration you can find – be it sculpture, painting, or books – would be a great addition to your home.

Shiplap Walls

We couldn’t write an article about farmhouse decor trends without including shiplap – the famous wall style that Joanna Gaines absolutely adores! Shiplap walls are created by placing long panels of wood horizontally along the walls. The strips are typically around 7” wide, but you can play around with the thickness. Shiplap walls get their name from ships – as this is how ships are constructed, using horizontal panels of wood.

@farmsteadonfirst

They are almost always painted white in farmhouse homes giving the room a charming architectural element. You can still decorate the walls as you normally would with shelves, art, and more! This farmhouse-style living room has a gray sectional sofa in front of white shiplap walls. This is probably one of the most quintessential farmhouse living room decor ideas out there. It is certainly HGTV and Gaines family-approved!

Jute Rug

These honey hardwood floors were given an upgrade with a jute rug placed on top. The rugs help to gather each piece of furniture in the room from the white slipcovered sofa to the dark wood coffee table with turned legs. It centers the room and makes it feel very cozy and put together. Jute rugs are a great choice if you want a durable, natural rug for your farmhouse home! We wrote about some farmhouse rug recommendations recently, too.

@themodestfarmhouse

TV Above Mantel

Every good family room has a television in it. The problem is how do you decorate around a big black box? Well, here’s a great idea. Paint your living room mantel black, and attach it just above, against a white brick wall, as seen here! On either side, add some open shelving with lots of country decorations like family photos, indoor plants, clocks, glass jars, vases, and word blocks.

@shiplapaddict

Paint the walls a beige color so that your fireplace mantel really stands out in the room. Looks great, right? There are also very often other black metal elements in farmhouse living rooms that help a black TV blend in more!

Exposed Wood Ceiling Beams

This is an architectural element that you don’t always have control over, but how beautiful are exposed wood ceiling beams in living rooms? They give height to the space, make it feel warm and cozy, and contrast nicely against a white wood ceiling.

@angelarose_diyhome

This living room has a rustic wood coffee table below which adds to the warmth of the space. Two cozy beige linen sofas sit perpendicular to each other.

Built-in bookshelves show off the family’s tastes and a warm fireplace with a TV above it keeps the room cozy.

Window Wreaths

Window wreaths are a charming farmhouse decoration for the living room that is affordable and easy to install! Here, three matching eucalyptus wreaths hang centered over the window’s white shutters. A console table sits nearby with wood lanterns and a farmhouse-tiered tray. In front, a slipcovered gray sofa has a few white throw pillows on it. A black and white buffalo check rug and a natural wood coffee table flesh out the space.

@vintagewhitefarmhouse

Leaning Wall Ladder

Another common decoration found in farmhouse living rooms is the leaning wooden wall ladder. I think this design element was borrowed from Scandi style, but I could be wrong. In any case, it’s a super charming addition to any wall in your home, but it works especially well in the living room because you can drape a throw blanket over it casually. Here a wood ladder leans against the wall next to a French-style accent chair and small silver side table.

@makingitinthemountains

Vintage Accents

No matter how “modern” your farmhouse home is, you should consider adding vintage accents here and there. Vintage-style farmhouse living rooms have a unique charm to them. In this living room, an aged vintage coffee table that has been somewhat distressed holds a group of old books and a ceramic vase. A gray vintage cabriole sofa also gives this room extra charm. I think there’s something unique and your own about vintage decor that works so well in a farmhouse country home!

50 Farmhouse Decor Ideas That Anyone Can Copy

private house renovation ideas, beautiful interiors

The living room in the cottage is not just the center of the house, but also a source of pride, as well as a favorite resting place for the owners. Private ownership outside the city opens up endless possibilities for the realization of any design ideas, so decorating a guest room promises to be an exciting creative activity. The stylish interior resulting from the repair will delight the household, their relatives and friends for many years.

Interior styles

The design of a hall in a private house depends on several important factors: the general style of the building, the materials used in its construction, the layout and, of course, the preferences of the owners. Among the numerous design options for country buildings, ethnic motifs, Provence, country, chalets are the best fit. All these areas are united by the maximum proximity to nature, environmental friendliness and naturalness. The discreet classic style never loses its relevance, while lovers of novelty can experiment with youth eclecticism or create a dynamic fusion.

Classic living room

Living room in a classic style - the embodiment of respectability, nobility and loyalty to tradition. It can be decorated in white-gold or chocolate-beige tones, with columns, stucco, luxurious chandeliers. The materials used are expensive and of high quality - natural wood covered with dark lacquer or ivory enamel, leather upholstery of sofas and armchairs, curtains made of satin, brocade, jacquard, gilded frames, exquisite decor.

Provence style living room

Spring tenderness and romance of the French hinterland is reflected in pastel shades of olive green, blue, lavender, beige. Upholstered furniture and floral print textiles, photographs in openwork frames, cute hand-made decor (crocheted napkins, interior dolls, jewelry boxes and much more) will decorate the Provence-style living room.

Country style living room

The democratic atmosphere of the American ranch is perfectly perceived in the hall of a country house. Roughly processed wood, stone, simple cotton and woolen fabrics with a checkered pattern, firewood crackling in the fireplace create a relaxed atmosphere where peace and comfort always reign.

Chalet style living room

The abundance of wood and raw stone in the interior style of the chalet is very similar to the country, but it has a hunting spirit. Suede or velor can be used for upholstery of upholstered furniture, instead of checkered blankets - fluffy animal skins, on the walls - weapons, deer antlers, images of wild animals.

Living room in ethnic style

In each region there are certain traditions in the design of village houses, which can be applied in the design of modern cottages. As a rule, they include the most accessible materials for a particular locality, handicrafts with characteristic ornaments, decor based on ancient beliefs and customs. Inspiration can be found in local history museums, fairs, colorful tourist sites.

Color combinations

The palette of shades in the guest rooms of country estates seems to have been borrowed from nature itself. As a rule, it is dominated by natural tones of wood, stones, lime, leather and fur. There are no acidic, neon, glossy colors here, from which residents of megacities get so tired - only soft halftones and beautiful matte textures. In such an environment, rest is always pleasant, because organic materials have their own positive energy, which calms and heals.

Neutral combinations

If in urban apartments neutral colors evoke associations with the office with their severity, then in the private sector they look much softer due to smooth lines and more space. Black, white, gray, beige shades are the perfect backdrop for brighter details. By themselves, these colors do not evoke emotions, allowing you to focus on relaxation. And yet, when combining achromatic tones in the interior of the hall, it is worth abandoning sharp black and white contrasts in favor of smoother cream, gray-brown, silver tones.

Cold combinations

Cool shades of blue, light gray, mint green, pale pink, lilac are mainly characteristic of French Provence, shabby chic and Scandinavian style. Bleached paints fill the living room with light, and therefore are ideal for small rooms with small windows.

Warm combinations

Any paint with a yellow undertone looks great surrounded by natural wood (except, perhaps, bleached). The whole brown palette, from coffee to beige, cheerful orange, noble red, light green, golden is the best fit for decorating a spacious guest room in a country house. However, it is better to leave the most saturated and bright colors for small textile elements and decor, and use calmer colors for the background.

Living room decoration

The choice of materials for decoration is one of the most important stages in the design of the living room. Not only the appearance of the room, but also the durability of the repair depends on their quality and aesthetics. Considering that real estate outside the city is purchased, first of all, in order to be closer to nature, it is also worth abandoning synthetics and plastic in the design, preferring natural coatings.

Ceiling

Compared to high-rise buildings, private houses usually boast higher rooms. This provides ample opportunities for ceiling design - you can make several levels of drywall, stretch a film or a special elastic fabric (if desired, even with photo printing), decorate the surface with gypsum stucco or painting.

But the most popular option for finishing the space above the head are wooden beams - real or decorative. They fit perfectly into the country style, echoing in color and texture with the rest of the interior elements. For small living rooms, simple staining or whitewashing is optimal. In order to avoid cracks, the base for painting can be covered with fiberglass-cobwebs.

Walls

The decoration of the walls of the living room in the cottage is simple and unassuming. Paper and vinyl wallpapers are almost never used here - their function is performed by wooden lining, whitewashing, textured plaster.

A fairly common cladding option is decorative stone. It can be either natural chipped rock, or porcelain stoneware, artificial tiles. Of the exotic materials, it is worth noting bamboo panels, reed wallpapers, cork, flexible stone - they can be used to decorate individual sections of the walls or, for example, the area around the TV.

Floor

Since the living room in a country house is often located on the ground floor, it is worth taking care of floor insulation. In no case should it be concrete; ceramic tiles are also undesirable. The ideal option is wooden parquet (preferably matte so that it does not leave marks and stains). You can replace wood with a laminate, cork, epoxy self-leveling coating. In winter, you can not do without carpet, fluffy or woven carpets.

Furniture and decor

The comfort of staying in the living room not least depends on the beauty and convenience of the furniture, which in a private house, given its size, can be quite large. A roomy sofa, soft armchairs, a coffee table and, possibly, a chest of drawers for books - these items are quite enough for a cozy interior.

But, of course, the hall of the manor outside the city is impossible to imagine without a fireplace, around which the closest people gather on cold evenings. Ideally, this is a real functioning hearth with blazing firewood, but there are also decorative electric models. The fireplace portal serves as the main decoration of the guest room: it can be finished with stone, tiled mosaics, gypsum moldings with mini-columns, there are also structures made of brick, drywall or carved solid wood. All kinds of figurines, candles, vases, framed photographs, etc. are usually placed on the mantelpiece.

In the design of modern living rooms, much attention is paid to the TV wall. It can be a special niche made of drywall or wood, a furniture wall, a cabinet or several separate shelves. As a rule, this zone is accented. It is distinguished with the help of textured finishes, staining in a contrasting color, special lighting.

Interior of a small living room in a private house

Compared to spacious halls, small living rooms have a whole list of advantages. So, a small room is easier to heat, the atmosphere in it is more chamber and cozy, much less materials are required for repairs, and cleaning can be done in just a few minutes.

When decorating a compact living room, you should give preference to discreet, light shades and the most simple geometric shapes. You can not overload the interior with multi-level structures on the ceiling, colorful drawings on the walls and bright multi-colored spots. Everything should be sustained in the same style and harmoniously combined with each other.

The best backdrop for a small living room would be a monochromatic wall decoration, a light one-level ceiling, and a low-key texture of the flooring. In textiles and decor, you can add bright colors, prints, decorations. These can be sofa cushions, curtains, paintings or photographs, indoor plants.

Living room interior in a country house: stylish and comfortable solutions

In times of growing megacities, more and more people tend to spend their free time away from noise, dust, stress. Unity with nature can give citizens a sense of calm and harmony. That is why the purchase of houses outside the city is becoming more and more popular.

It is necessary to think over every little thing to make the living room look beautiful and original

When creating a design project for a country house, the most attention is paid to the living room. This is not at all surprising, because the living room is a place where the whole family gathers, where friends, acquaintances, and guests come. Country house living room design ideas differ depending on the personal preferences of the owners, the design of the house, and the planned budget.

Contents

Which finishing material is better to use

A country house is a place where the owners come to relax, enjoy communion with nature, be alone with themselves. For this reason, designers recommend using natural materials for home decoration.

Wood, stone and brick are the best materials for decorating the living room of a country house

It is better to give up plastic and synthetics, because a country house is needed first of all in order to be closer to nature

Wood, stone, bamboo, rattan and others are ideal for arranging the main room. As a floor covering, designers recommend using parquet or stone, and the most popular type of ceiling finish is undoubtedly a stretch ceiling.

Fireplace as an element of a modern living room

Many people associate the interior of a living room with a fireplace - a source of warmth and comfort in any room. When decorating a fireplace in a country house, natural stone is most often used, which emphasizes the connection with nature. If the living room is made in a classic style, then columns and gilded elements can be used for decoration.

Modern style allows decoration with glass or mirrors. It is better to lay out the floor in front of the fireplace with fire-resistant material: stone or tile. This will prevent ignition from sparks or charcoal while the fireplace is in use.

If a country house has two or more levels, then, as a rule, the stairs leading to the second floor are located in the living room. This must be taken into account when planning the interior. The location of the stairs in the hall means that the room will be a walk-through, which means it is better to leave as much space as possible for free movement around the room. A wooden staircase fits harmoniously into the interior of a country house, however, when choosing a material, it is necessary, first of all, to take into account the style of the room.

  1. A harmonious interior in a country house is easier to create in a proportional room.
  2. During the design of the living room, you can achieve a visual increase or decrease in the room.
  3. It is recommended to include a semantic center in the interior of the hall. It can be a fireplace, a library, a large TV.

Design of a kitchen-living room in a country house

Until recently, the use of a kitchen-studio, that is, the combination of a kitchen and a living room, was practiced only in city apartments. However, in our time, such a solution is becoming more and more popular, and its use has spread to country houses.

You can design a kitchen-living room in any style: from classic and modern to high-tech - it all depends solely on the preferences of the owner of the house.

Luxury kitchen-living room in classic style

Spacious modern kitchen-living room

To harmoniously divide a room into functional areas, you can resort to some design tricks:

  1. You can visually divide the room into zones by using different types of flooring: the kitchen floor can be tiled, and the lounge area can be laminate or parquet.
  2. You can use such a design element as a bar counter, which is also very practical and functional.
  3. Use of ceiling trim and lighting for room zoning. There is no need for bright lighting in the seating area, while in the kitchen you need to use bright lamps and maximize the penetration of natural light into the room.
  4. Use of arches and mobile structures, which include screens and partitions.

A TV and home theater can be placed in the seating area to watch your favorite movies together. The main element of the dining area is a table, the size of which should depend on the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room. Around it you can arrange beautiful chairs.
