Must-Know Tips for the Perfect Farmhouse
SHARE:
Farmhouse interior design has been around for a very long time, and a famous TV show has made it even more popular (thanks Joanna Gaines!) But still, it doesn’t look like it’s going away anytime soon, and we couldn’t be happier.
So, if you’re planning to remodel your home in this style, don’t look any further. Keep reading for our designer-approved farmhouse interior design tips that’ll help you conquer the style at home!
Welcoming entry with farmhouse interior design by Decorilla designer, Lindsay B.
If there’s one thing that is common in all farmhouse style homes it is their unmistakable relaxed vibe. There’s something about this leading interior design style that just makes you want to snuggle on the sofa as you walk into the door. But relaxed doesn’t mean random. On the contrary, a farmhouse interior has its specific features, that on one side create a laid back feel yet on the other make for a cohesive and curated style.
Modern farmhouse interior design by Decorilla, Lane B.
To start with, the perfect farmhouse style should achieve a balance of practicality and elegance.
In other words, nothing should look too fragile to be touched, but the space should still retain a certain sophistication. To achieve that, hard-wearing materials should be preferred and mixed with cozy accessories for a home that is welcoming, stylish but also practical for everyday life. The other main feature of farmhouse interior design is that it is a collected style. You’ll never see a bedroom set in a farmhouse home and matching chairs are also not so common. In short words, matchy-matchy is a big no.
Farmhouse design style by Decorilla designer, Andrea P.
Before you start your farmhouse remodel journey you need to choose if you prefer a traditional farmhouse (more similar to a country-style) or a modern farmhouse, that mixes country and modern elements achieving an overall more refined look.
Whichever you prefer, these designer tips will have you well on your way to a perfectly styled home!
Modern farmhouse kitchen by Decorilla interior designer, Corine M.
Whether you go for a traditional farmhouse or a modern farmhouse style, rustic finishes will always be your friends. From weathered wood to exposed brickwork, distressed finishes immediately add character to any surface. Even more, their somehow rough texture creates an effortless vibe that is typical of any well-designed farmhouse interior. For example, a brick wall (or even a realistic brick-like wallpaper if you can’t alter your walls so much) will do wonders in adding a rustic vibe to the space. Other modern farmhouse favorites are exposed rustic wood beams, that will add instant charm to any room.

But when we say rustic finishes we’re not just talking floors, walls and ceilings.
So don’t be afraid if you don’t live in an old mansion in the countryside. Actually, rustic accents can go anywhere in the home. And they can really help to recreate a farmhouse vibe even if you start with a modern white canvas (like the majority of rented condos). For instance, the perfect distressed wood element in the kitchen is a thick butcher block, that will resist hours of cooking while giving charm to the space. Similarly, think about adding rustic wood shelves and cabinets on your plain white walls; you’ll be impressed by the impact they’ll make.
Modern farmhouse living room design by Decorilla interior designer, Kimber P.
Metals are another key element in a farmhouse style and even when talking metals, a relaxed vibe is key. So don’t be afraid of mixing, like gold, black and silver may all work together in the same space. In general, brushed finishes work best for this style because they tie in better with the other distressed surfaces.
Above all, gunmetal grey metals are a must in any farmhouse interior design. This is certainly for their rustic feel, but not only. The dark color also adds some elegance and contrast to the space, making it a great choice for modern farmhouse interiors as well. And whether you’re going for a traditional or a modern farmhouse style, sprinkle some galvanized steel here and there for an extra rustic touch.
Modern farmhouse bedroom design by Decorilla interior designer, Kimber P.
All farmhouse interiors share a neutral color palette. So start creating your color scheme by mixing different shades of brown or grey (or even both). Besides being ideal for a farmhouse style, sticking to an overall neutral palette is always a great strategy to create a design you’ll not get tired of in the long run. Think about it: with a neutral background, you can always spice things up with colorful accents. And changing the accent color will be enough to give your space a totally new look with minimum effort.
Speaking of accent colors, you can choose anything from blue to red to yellow in a farmhouse style. However, sticking to rather muted tones is best to achieve that nature-inspired feel that is typical of modern farmhouse interior design. So green light to deep blue, burgundy red, burnt orange, and mustard yellow.
Farmhouse interior design details by Decorilla designer, Olivia V.
One of the top farmhouse decorating ideas is certainly the mix of several different textures. We’ve already seen how rustic finishes can add character to the space. But the same is true for furniture, textiles, and accessories. So, when you’re choosing furniture, prefer rather distressed surfaces, even with scratches and knots. And then add even more texture with textiles. From natural fiber rugs to knitted blankets and faux-fur pillows, a mix of rich textures is what will give depth and help you achieve an effortlessly stylish look in your home.
Mixing textures is not always an easy task, but in a farmhouse style, it is not that hard. If you stick to a neutral color palette, the fact that the hues are similar will be enough to tie together your accessories and textiles even if they have different textures.

It’s a well-known fact that accessories can make or break a design. And the farmhouse style is no exception. Therefore, if you’re going for a farmhouse interior design, you should be consistent in your décor as well. For instance, the preferred artworks for a farmhouse modern design are definitely signs and graphics. You can find plenty of them at all home decor stores, but they’re also very easy to DIY. And a plus of doing them yourself is that you’ll be able to choose the quotes you love the most, transforming a simple gallery wall in your personal inspiration board. For an even more balanced gallery wall, mix quotes with country-inspired landscapes and botanical prints, that will be able to bring in that natural inspiration even if you live in the middle of the city.
Farmhouse decor in a bathroom by Decorilla designer, Olivia V.
Other décor pieces that can’t be missed in a modern farmhouse interior are soft pillows, warm blankets, and vintage mirrors. But don’t get everything from the same store. Always remember that perfect farmhouse interiors look spontaneous and collected over time, so stay away from pieces that look overly coordinated. And – especially if you’ve chosen a farmhouse modern style – don’t overdo it. The best farmhouse modern designs only have a few well-placed accessories, because too many of them would end up cluttering the space.
6. Farmhouse Must Gave: GreeneryFarmhouse decor ideas by Decorilla
Adding some greenery at home is always a great idea; it brings life into the space and immediately gives it a more curated feel. When choosing greenery, personal tastes play an important role. However, plants work in all homes and rooms, regardless of the style.
If we had to choose just one type of greenery for a farmhouse style, it would certainly be loose branches. From cotton buds to eucalyptus, branches (better if displayed in a vintage jar) will decorate the space while bringing in that unique mix of rustic and natural. Similarly, you can also just opt for freshly cut bouquets in vases around the room. Not to mention, the aroma will be equally as enticing.
7. Reuse & RepurposeRepurposed farmhouse living room decor by Decorilla designer, Angela S.
What better than something vintage to add a rustic feel to the space? Indeed, a farmhouse interior design remodel is the perfect occasion to shop at flea markets and antique stores. There, you’ll find authentically vintage pieces that will give a whole new value to your interior, way more than new pieces that just look distressed. So definitely go take a look at your local flea market!
While you’re walking around the stalls, don’t forget you can always repurpose your second-hand finds for new functions.
For example, old window shutters can have multiple uses in a traditional or modern farmhouse home. They can become a beautiful piece of art when hung on the wall or laid on the fireplace mantel.
Reclaimed farmhouse decor by Decorilla designer, Lindsay B.
To sum up, flea markets are a great interior design shop if you’re going for a farmhouse style, but your creativity will do the rest. Take a look on Pinterest for more specific inspiration; you’ll find plenty of mind-blowing projects that will also help you save some money!
8. DIY Farmhouse DecorModern farmhouse living room by Decorilla interior designer, Sara S.
Talking about saving money, this is something we all like, and DIY projects are there to come to the rescue. But what are the best DIYs for a modern farmhouse interior design? Actually, there are many creative options out there that will allow you to save some dollars while creating an authentic and personal farmhouse style.
Firstly, let’s talk about mason jars. Someone may say they’re an obvious choice, but mason jars are extremely versatile. With just a coat of paint and some string, they can become the perfect farmhouse container for twigs and branches. But they can also be used as lanterns, soap dispensers, and pendant lights, just to name a few.
Farmhouse interior design ideas for a dining room by Decorilla
Still, sourcing materials from around the home, metal cans can be used to bring in a rustic metal accent. And what about wooden crates? They are another versatile object that can become anything from bookshelf to bench. Reclaimed wood is another must in any farmhouse interior and can find its place in every room, becoming a shiplap wall paneling, a barn door, a faux-beam or a table top. And lastly, a creative DIY will allow you to transform a flea market find in exactly what you need for your own project.
9. Embrace Imperfections – In ModerationModern farmhouse bathroom by Decorilla designer, Annie R.
Whether you’re going for a traditional or a modern farmhouse interior, imperfections will be an asset in your home. After all, rough textures and signs of use are what sets farmhouse interior apart from other styles. But – as always in design – be mindful of proportion. If everything around your home has an overly distressed finish, it will most likely be too much and create a sloppy effect instead of a beautiful farmhouse design.
Transitional farmhouse kitchen design by Decorilla designer, Nathalie A.
How to find the right balance? Actually, there is no one-size-fits-all rule. To start with, it will all depend on the exact style you’ve chosen as a farmhouse, modern will accept less imperfections with respect to a traditional farmhouse. Also, your personal tastes will also dictate how much is too much for you. As a rule of thumb though, you should always try to create some kind of contrast and make a focal feature of your distressed items. For instance, a weathered wood shelf will be perfect over a white plaster wall, but may be too much over a rustic brick wall.
In short, always mix rustic and modern items and experiment to achieve the perfect farmhouse interior design for you.

French style for a wooden house. Rustic style country house — photo inside
The 21st century with its frantic pace of life, regular stress and information noise makes us dream of a calm and measured life away from the hustle and bustle of big cities. Therefore, there is no more cozy style for home decoration than country. The rustic interior of the house evokes warm memories of carefree childhood and grandma's vacation, it fills the heart with warmth and helps us to relax, leaving all the problems behind the threshold.
In this article we will talk about the main features of the rustic interior, its varieties and implementation features in different rooms.
Country-style interior design features
There are no two absolutely identical country-style interiors, because each owner somehow invests something of his own in the design of the house. But the common features of rustic design are easy to trace.
Finishing
Any design starts with finishing, and for country this rule is more than relevant. A cozy rural atmosphere can only be obtained by surrounding yourself with natural materials. Therefore, the rustic interior looks best in a wooden country house. But you can create it in a city apartment. The main thing is to exclude modern materials, such as plastic, in the decoration and use as much wood, stone, leather or antique metal as possible.
Wood paneling, vintage wallpaper or textured plaster will look good on the walls, and parquet, parquet-look laminate or solid flooring will look good on the floor.
Furniture
When choosing furniture, you should be guided by the same rule as with finishing - only natural materials! Also keep in mind that minimalist modular furniture will not fit into the interior design of a rustic home. For him, it is better to choose things that look like antiques - antique chests of drawers, sideboards, cozy sofas with textile upholstery, massive wooden tables. Remember that in a country house every piece of furniture can tell a story about many generations of a family, so it should look solid and solid.
Décor
Décor is the most important part of rustic style. It is he who gives the design a final touch and a special unique comfort. The most suitable country decorations are as follows:
- Textiles of all kinds - tablecloths, cushions, curtains, rugs, floor carpets.
- Fresh flowers or dried flower arrangements.
- Landscape and animal paintings.
- Antique clock.
- Wrought iron lamps, table lamps with shade.
- Miscellaneous cute little things - figurines, pots, vases, baskets and more.
Also, a fireplace will fit perfectly into the rustic style in the interior of a country house.
Rustic style in the interior of different rooms
An important advantage of the rustic style is that it is perfect for decorating any room in the house. You can think over the design of the entire cottage in a similar style or prefer it for a separate room. Let's take a closer look at how country music manifests itself depending on the functional purpose of the room.
Rustic living room
The living room is the soul of the home. It is in it that they receive guests and spend time with the household. Therefore, it is important to make this room as comfortable as possible. If it is possible to build a hearth in the living room - it's just great. But even without it, you can create a warm atmosphere. Put a soft sofa and a rocking chair, set a cozy coffee table on pot-bellied legs.
Do not spare textiles. All kinds of pillows, blankets and rugs will give the rustic interior a unique charm and will warm you up on long winter evenings in the company of a cup of hot tea.
Country style kitchen
Country style kitchen is the perfect combination of beauty and functionality. Even the most mundane items can be turned into decor:
- Choose kitchen towels with beautiful embroidery.
- Arrange kitchen utensils on open shelves.
- Place several pots of useful plants such as mint, onion, basil, etc.
- Hang bunches of dried herbs, garlic or red pepper in your kitchen.
It's a good idea to use earthy colored stone or ceramic tiles for flooring and walls. It is best to choose a wooden set, and try to hide modern technology behind wooden facades. Here are examples of rustic kitchens in the photos:
Country-style bedroom
The bedroom is the most peaceful and relaxing place in a country house.
A monochromatic range in decoration and decor helps to achieve this. Avoid bright colors and prefer natural shades.
Bedroom furniture looks beautiful with a large massive bed, a chest of drawers, a classic wardrobe and bedside tables with antique alarm clocks. An interesting decoration will be a canopy with a heavy fabric covered with intricate patterns.
Varieties of country style
There are dozens of types of country style - after all, each nation imagines a village or country house in its own way. We list only the most popular in our country.
Provence
French rustic style in the interior can be distinguished from others by the following features:
- Light colors. The design is based on white or light gray, and accents are mint, pink, lavender, pale lemon and other delicate pastel shades inherent in the landscapes of the south of France.
- An abundance of plant motifs (for example, wallpaper with small flowers) and images of animals.
- Using deliberately rough textures like brick or plaster.
- Furniture in Provence is often decorated with decoupage or artificially aged.
- Numerous decorations are used - figurines, paintings, photo frames, etc. They are placed on open shelves, window sills, racks, etc.
Russian style
Slavic style is very popular, because it touches the hidden strings of our soul. It can be implemented using the following elements:
- Russian oven.
- Folk ornaments in decor and textiles - Khokhloma, Gzhel and other patterns.
- Earthenware and flower pots.
- Embroidered curtains and painted shutters.
- The color palette is dominated by white, red and natural wood tones.
This is how the interior of a Russian village house looks inside in the photo:0014 English style
It has a typical British stiffness, surprisingly harmoniously combined with decor elements and giving the room an incomparable coziness.
Characteristics of this interior style:
- Dark colors - brown, dark green, beige, burgundy.
- Solid wood and leather furniture.
- Hunting motifs - animal skins, horns and stuffed animals as decoration.
- Strict forms and lines.
- Textile with discreet geometric pattern.
- The presence of a fireplace or a small stove.

Science is developing rapidly, and every year it becomes more and more difficult not to get lost in the variety of new styles and materials. However, those who want to equip the house comfortably and with taste should not despair - the good old village comfort will come to the rescue.
Over its long history, country music has acquired a huge number of variations, adapting to the national characteristics of different countries and absorbing the local flavor. There are three main varieties.
- Russian country style
- English Country
- French provence
A fireplace in the living room creates a warm and pleasant atmosphere
A bedroom in a tree will look very nice
A rustic kitchen is a great design option. It will be a pleasure to cook on it
Each of these styles is individual and reflects the cultural traditions of their country, but the overall concept is still the same - naturalness, simplicity and comfort.
Unity with nature also plays an important role in interior design, because one of the main principles of rustic style is the rejection of artificial materials in favor of natural ones. Particular preference is given to wood, although stone is also widely used.
The decoration of a village house is distinguished by deliberate rudeness. You can flaunt floor beams, do not be shy about clumsy plaster and hand-knit furniture - all this will only add originality. Practicality instead of excesses is the basic law of creating a rustic interior, but this does not mean that you should give up decorations and forget about beauty. On the contrary, it is worth paying special attention to them.

Country style is characterized by a large number of decor items. Invariable attributes are carpets, which are laid not only on the floor, but also hung on the walls, an abundance of natural textiles, pillows on chairs, a table covered with a tablecloth or a lace napkin. Hand-made interior details are especially welcome. Knitting, embroidery, patchwork technique - any handmade only benefits the creation of comfort, and the rustic style opens up great scope for imagination and creativity.
But before you add accessories to the interior, you should think about the color palette. Country style gives its preference to natural shades and muted, soft tones. Pastel colors are also popular. When choosing a color scheme, there are no strict restrictions, but fluorescent should be avoided. The absence of flashy colors and neon creates a peaceful atmosphere and does not strain your eyesight.
The atmosphere of rural comfort can be easily created both in an apartment and in a country house.

Finishing and the vast majority of interior items are made of wood.
For wall cladding, both wooden panels and solid logs are used. Russian rustic style is uncomplicated, but not without appeal.
The furniture is maximally simplified. In lighting, lamps with a lampshade or kerosene are used. For the Russian style, the presence of a large chest in the house is characteristic. Rustic style in the interior of a country house will help create a Russian stove. This practical thing is used not only for heating, but also for cooking. Near the stove in the village house there are corresponding attributes - a woodpile with firewood for kindling, a poker, a shovel and a tong with cast irons.
Decorate your home in the Russian style with patchwork quilts and painted pottery, and hang cross-stitch or panels made from natural materials on the walls.
In such a kitchen you will enjoy cooking
A candle on the wall will perfectly complement the decor
In the English style, design issues were approached thoroughly.
Stone and brickwork is often used in the wall decoration, and the furniture is distinguished by its massiveness: a separate dining room will be required for the dining table, and a king-sized four-poster bed will look appropriate in the bedroom. Armchairs have high backs and are made of wood, and then covered with leather and decorated with decorative carvings. Usually they are located in the living room next to the fireplace.
In the colors of English country, light tones (beige, gray) closely coexist with rich shades (chocolate, red-brown, dark green).
For decor, heavy dense fabrics in a cage are used. They are used to make covers for furniture, curtains, blankets, decorative pillows and other interior decorations.
The view of the forest from the window will delight you with stunning nature
Flowers with fruits will complement the table setting

Against the backdrop of other rustic styles, Provence is the most romantic and dreamy.
It is characterized by light colors (especially white and blue), delicate pastel shades and floral patterns. The decor sometimes uses a bright red accent.
Unlike English country furniture, Provence furniture is light, elegant and usually comes in light pastel colors. The upholstery often uses floral ornaments, sometimes a cage or a strip. Furniture is also artificially aged to give the interior a retro touch.
The walls are covered with plain plaster and the floors are covered with terracotta tiles or white painted planks.
French rustic style is all about elegance and getting rid of bulky unnecessary details, but some additional elements are still acceptable. The Provence-style interior can be decorated with homemade lace napkins, a bouquet of wild flowers in a porcelain vase, or wood painting.
White kitchen with wooden beam looks very elegant
Wooden walls are the foundation of rustic style
Rustic styles are not similar to each other, each of them has its own history associated with the national characteristics of local peoples.
For many years, the main goal of country style was practicality and convenience. And what defines the rustic style in the interior today?
- Finishing materials are wood and stone.
- Finishing is deliberately simple and rough.
- Furniture mainly made of wood, simple and durable, with a retro effect.
- Many handmade elements, in other words - handmade.
- The decor uses an abundance of textiles (curtains, blankets, tablecloths, napkins).
- In country houses, stoves and fireplaces serve as sources of heat.

To do this, you should use wooden or wicker furniture, choose warm colors in the design, and make the light a little muffled. For curtains, sofa covers and other textile items, you should choose natural fabrics, such as cotton and linen. Sofa cushions can be decorated with embroidery - handmade, made with soul, will transform any interior.
The ideal material for living room flooring is wood, but laminate can also be used. It is also worth covering it with a soft carpet or rug.
Walls can be wood-paneled, finished with stone, or simply plastered.
Handmade decorations placed on the shelves will add charm to the interior. For this purpose, you can use clay or wooden figurines, knitted toys, cross-stitch inserted into the frame.
The final touch in the decoration of the living room will be a bouquet of fresh wildflowers placed on a fireplace or coffee table.

In the bedroom - the room where a person gets a long-awaited rest after a long day at work - must be comfortable. Rustic style in the interior of the bedroom will be preferred by people who value comfort and naturalness.
You can use floral print wallpaper or decorate the walls with panels. Wooden beams in the decor of the ceiling will add originality to the room. You don’t have to invent anything special with the floor - just lay a carpet or rug on it.
