All About Modern Farmhouse Style

Traditional design offering comfortable, inviting spaces with a modern touch

The Spruce / Marty Baldwin

Comfy, cozy, and full of charm, modern farmhouse is not going out of style anytime soon. Designers like Joanna Gaines of "Fixer Upper" have showcased this chic style in all its comforting glory, and people are flocking to the look. In many ways, it grew as a response to the minimalist trend that was popular in the 1990s and early 2000s. Modern farmhouse design allows people to embrace tradition and surround themselves with decor that makes them feel good—but with a modern twist reflective of the times. 

If you want to get the modern farmhouse look, here's what you need to know.

What Is Modern Farmhouse Style?

Modern farmhouse design evokes feelings of warmth and comfort. It's traditional without being fussy, classic without being like a museum, and comfortable in a way that makes you want to put your feet up and stay a while.

While classic farmhouse style evokes homesteads with plenty of vintage furnishings and traditional fabrics, modern farmhouse style is a bit less rustic and adds more contemporary touches, such as a neutral color scheme and smooth lines. Modern farmhouse is all about mixing comfortable furniture with salvaged materials, such as reclaimed wood. 

Antiques are right at home in modern farmhouse interiors, though they shouldn't be too delicate to touch. Everything should be tactile and tangible. Most of all, modern farmhouse style is cozy without being cluttered.

Get the Modern Farmhouse Look

The key to achieving a modern farmhouse interior and exterior is all about comfort. Furniture should invite you to sit down, and nothing should look as though it's too fragile to touch. There's a down-home feeling in modern farmhouse decor that should invite a sense of laughter and fun.

Modern Farmhouse Interiors vs.

Exteriors

A modern farmhouse exterior often has some combination of the following elements:

The modern farmhouse exterior complements the modern farmhouse interior in several ways. For one, the windows let in lots of natural light to make the interior feel bright, inviting, and comfortable. The simplicity of the exterior also sets the tone that the house isn't too fussy or stuffy, which is carried through inside with the uncomplicated modern farmhouse decor. And the typically large front porches—or wraparound porches—show that the home is a place to gather. Plus, the clean lines of the exterior also complement the uncluttered nature of the interior, which helps to modernize the whole look.

How Modern Farmhouse Compares to Other Styles

Modern farmhouse is similar to country style. However, while country tends to lean a little toward kitschy, modern farmhouse retains a certain level of sophistication. Country also relies heavily on accessories while modern farmhouse keeps them to a minimum.

Industrial farmhouse style has become an offshoot of modern farmhouse. As its name suggests, it draws inspiration both from farmhouse and industrial styles. Industrial style by itself plays up raw architectural elements, including metals, wood, bricks, glass, and concrete. And it uses relatively dark neutral tones.

The main difference between modern farmhouse and industrial farmhouse is that the industrial version tends to use darker finishes, mixed metals, and live-edge wood. Modern farmhouse, on the other hand, tends to be whiter and brighter.

As with any new look, there's a lot to learn out there, so we've comprised our go-to guide on how to get the modern farmhouse style in your own home.

What is modern farmhouse style?

The modern farmhouse style is the perfect blend of the traditional country look with the more minimal contemporary design.

Clean lines and a sleek aesthetic has been the go-to interiors style for a while, but with so much happening in the world these days, we're craving a touch of the more comforting, cozy elements.

Like with this Nicky Dobree designed interior, modern farmhouse retains a fresh look, and yet embraces natural elements and celebrates the beauty of imperfections throughout.

What is the difference between country and farmhouse style?

When you hear the word 'farmhouse' you might imagine the classic rustic look, perhaps slightly cluttered and without any strong design thread. This is where the 'modern' element of this style is important. Emma Sims-Hilditch, founder of Sims Hilditch comments that although people often crave the charm of a country style home, 'they also want their home to be practical and to work for their needs.'

Modern farmhouse is the contemporary take on the rustic style, so everything is tailored into making sure you have everything you need to continue to live a modern life, just with a farmhouse tint. While country homes are beautiful, this style takes our favourite comforting elements from there and adds sleek touches with smooth lines, brushed metals and neutral palettes.

Emma Sims-Hilditch suggests a few ways to achieve the modern farmhouse look without going too classic country. 'To us, modern farmhouse style is all about creating a cozy interior with layers, pattern and color. One way to get this look (if budget allows) is to open up ceilings to expose the rafters and make the most of the height. Alternatively, adding materials such as limewashed timber cladding to walls and ceilings can immediately transform a room. When it comes to choosing fabrics, try pairing multiple patterns and materials such as a chunky linen with a smooth velvet in a similar color palette.'

As Emma advises, fabrics and materials are kept within a fairly strict color pattern – this will prevent the look from becoming too eclectic and rustic, and instead feel curated and considered, as one might expect from a modern home.

Why is modern farmhouse style so popular?

Where once stark minimalism in the home provided a welcome clean sanctuary from the outside world, as we spend more time in the house, we're craving something a little more comforting.

While the fresh design aesthetic is still prominent and desired, adding more personality, warmth and charm into the home speaks to how we're all feeling at the moment.

Modern farmhouse also celebrates the historic, reminding us of simpler times, without forcing us to give up any of the contemporary lifestyle elements to which we are accustomed. Anna Beeber, Partner at Champalimaud Design explains: 'Today, the modern farmhouse is a celebration of the historic form, updated with interiors that embrace a contemporary design perspective. With these kinds of projects our studio is always careful to celebrate the history and include a little patina while being mindful of our client’s modern lifestyle. The relationship between the old and the new must be considered and work in tandem with one another – the harmony is essential.'

What are the best modern farmhouse style neutral colors to use?

(Image credit: Little Greene)

When you think modern farmhouse, think neutrals. One of the easiest ways to start building up this look is by layering whites, creams and soft grays. By sticking to a largely neutral scheme, you're adding that contemporary freshness which the style requires.

'To avoid a room looking stark, an off white or pale neutral is always a good approach to take,' advises Ruth Mottershead Creative Director, Little Greene. 'Using different neutral tones from the same colour family allows for layering and seamless shifts from room to room giving a sense of consistency with subtle nuances. Consider the use of graduated tones of a colour – for example our Little Greene 'Colour Scales' collection offers our most popular colours within families of four graduated tones made using the same pigments just in different strengths. French Grey, Slaked Lime, Portland Stone and Rolling Fog are just a few of the neutral colour families in this collection that would work beautifully in a modern farmhouse.'

Take inspiration in mixing neutrals from this modern farmhouse kitchen, which uses the warming Mushroom on the wall and crisp, contemporary Flint on the units; both paints from Little Greene.

What are good farmhouse colors?

Part of the key in adding the 'modern' into modern farmhouse is adding in contrasting colours to the neutral backgrounds. Interior designer Kate Lester points out: 'Don’t forget the black! Adding pops of black doesn’t make a space feel darker, in fact, it’s the opposite! Black is the perfect juxtaposition to the crisp white and creates a perfectly balanced backdrop for rugs and furnishings.'

As well as blacks, look to inky blues, emerald greens and charcoal grays for wonderful hints of modernity and personality in your modern farmhouse. 'The best colors for farmhouse spaces are colours that blend well with their vernacular and natural setting,' advises Irene Gunter of Gunter & Co. 'We like to experiment with denser natural greens, blues, pinks or terracottas, both on walls or in terms of accents such as tiled splashbacks, colors of handles or even internal cabinet materials. It’s no surprise that shades of green, or darker blues are very often used in countryside settings, they feel at home and give a certain grounding to the overall scheme. '

Another way of letting your personality to shine through with color is by looking to softer shades. A few touches of pastel pinks and sage greens can add a feminine touch, while still allowing the modern scheme to stay strong.

What materials are modern farmhouse?

(Image credit: Tom Howley)

Whereas the strictly modern home relies on a clean palette of stainless steel, sleek surfaces and polished stones, the modern farmhouse look needs to mix these up with more natural finishes.

Combining the contemporary materials with weathered finishes adds that farmhouse character and warmth that you're looking for. Think untreated, raw woods, exposed brickwork and leathers and tiles with a patina. Katie Cox of Ham Interiors describes how they create the modern farmhouse feel: 'we use contemporary lines and clean finishes with rustic but not overly traditional touches.'

Similarly, Little Greene's Ruth Mottershead likes to emphasise the natural texture of materials. 'A key element when creating a modern farmhouse look is texture - so pair neutrals with related shades in rich wool, tumbled linens, and mid-century style reclaimed or textured wood furniture. These types of schemes evoke a sense of calm but still have an element of interest through texture, elevating the look from simply ‘country' to a more contemporary feel.'

While a lot of the modern farmhouse elements can be added or built into a home, if you already live in a period property there are a few other things to consider. 'I am a firm believer that structural details like beams shouldn’t be hidden or changed in any way,' says kitchen designer Tom Howley. 'The beauty of working within architecturally diverse properties is that the briefs are further defined. All designers love working within a brief. It helps to direct your design ideas, and instead of limiting you, these restrictions can actually provide further platforms for great design if you consider the possibilities rationally and creatively. For the perfect modern farmhouse kitchen, incorporate these architectural details into your overall scheme.'

In these properties you may have issues with the original materials, on which Tom comments: 'A lesser-known tip in getting the modern farm house look lies in behind your cabinetry. In many properties, listed homes in particular, the flooring can be uneven. You may be unable to correct or straighten original flooring to stop the cabinetry from opening or closing of its own volition. And anyway, it would be such a shame to tamper with original flagstone or wooden floorboards! We use magnets in our cabinetry to correct this instead.'

How do you achieve the modern farmhouse style in a kitchen?

(Image credit: Philip Vile)

The kitchen is the perfect place to start your modern farmhouse journey. As the heart of the home, the natural warmth and feeling of relaxation of the space lends itself ideally to this type of scheme.

Moreover, as kitchens obviously require many modern trappings, like cooking gadgets and white goods, you can start your journey here by working on blending these with more traditional touches.

Interior designer Nicky Dobree explains how she created this modern farmhouse kitchen. 'Framed with exposed brick the Crittall windows bring the exterior in and create added texture against this wall. The exposed timber beams add warmth to the space and draw the eye up adding to the sense of airiness. The timber cupboard doors with leather handles enhance the country feeling of the kitchen and the large white ceramic lamps that sit on the surface are a nice softer alternative way to lighting this area creating intimacy in the space.'

'The large central oak island is the perfect place to prep, gather, eat and chat,' continues Nicky. 'Keeping it open on one side stops it from feeling too blocky and enables people to sit opposite each other rather than always in a line. The vintage singer stools sourced at an antique fair, add a personal touch. Large wicker baskets under the island are used for storage with drawers and cupboards on the other side. Floating oak shelves are ideal for displaying items and break up the white wall between the windows. '

Other ways of adding the modern farmhouse style into a kitchen include using sleek Shaker style cabinetry with brushed metal handles, oversized industrial light fixtures and a large, raw wood dining table for family and friends to gather around. With appliances, stick to modern stainless steel and avoid retro shapes and colourways with your gadgets, otherwise you'll veer into country farmhouse, rather than modern.

What is modern farmhouse architecture?

(Image credit: Amy Bartlam)

Modern farmhouse style is just as appealing when looking at the exterior as it is the interior. Traditional country homes offer many of the key architectural notes that modern farmhouse buildings use; timber cladding, lofted spaces and, often, wraparound porches. Other external touches to consider are industrial elements, such as metal light fixtures.

This more contemporary interpretation requires a crisp paint on the outside. White is one of the most classic colors for farmhouses to be painted in. During colonial times, whitewash was used as it acted as a preventative from mildew, and it also offered mild antibacterial properties. Today these are less of a concern, but choosing to keep the exterior in the traditional whitewash, while adding in contrasting highlights of a darker color, usually black, keeps things modern and fresh.

Indoors, modern farmhouses typically have more open floor plans and larger windows than their classic counterparts. The bones may be from the traditional country farmhouse design, but these changes allow more air and light to flow through.

Overall, 'Keep millwork details simple,' advises interior designer Kate Lester. 'For a true modern farmhouse look we skip crown molding and lean towards more casual detailing, like a board and batten or shiplap paneling. We also keep door and window casing simple and streamlined. Less really is more when you are trying to achieve this look.'

Country house design - design ideas

Country house owners are certainly happy. Proximity to nature, lack of noise and fuss around - it calms, causes peace in the soul. Such buildings are traditionally wooden: log or timber. They look great against the backdrop of a picturesque landscape. It remains in the same spirit to organize the interior decoration of such a house.

What is characteristic of a rustic interior

Such an environment suggests:

• Predominantly natural materials. Plastic or synthetic fabrics may be durable, but they are not endowed with warmth. At the same time, wood, linen or cotton material, stone create a feeling of a "living" interior, typical for such houses.

• A finish without much glamor. In addition, the walls are often left in their original form, without covering them with anything.

• Installation of simple, possibly rough furniture. It can be antique or modern, but made in a rustic style. nine0003

• Rich decor. The style of minimalism, for example, ideal for a city apartment, is not quite appropriate here. In general, a village house is a fertile environment for creativity. The work of craftswomen who can knit, weave or embroider is extremely in demand here. Handmade patterned napkins, cute figurines and other little things will add charm to the interior and make it unique. And the craftsmen who own the technique of wood carving will be able not only to decorate the furniture with taste, but also to decorate the facade of the building with magnificent “laces”. nine0003

What style of decoration is better to choose

The choice of stylistic trends corresponding to a country house is quite wide. Let's take a look at three of these options.

Country

This style is characterized by simplicity and practicality. At the same time, it reflects the hitch of rural life. With this design, a warm, very pleasant atmosphere is created in the house. The main background here is represented by pastel colors: sand, smoky, lavender. It is recommended to paint the walls that way or paste them with wallpaper. In a wooden house, you can not produce such a finish at all. Then the interior will turn out very cozy and natural. nine0003

Checkered textiles - a reminder of the country. It is used in curtains, which always serve their intended purpose, and not just decorate the house. The cage is also present on the tablecloths and pillowcases of numerous cushions. Textiles are always natural. It was made from plant fibers that absorbed the energy of the sun and wind. It is linen or cotton, durable and pleasant to the touch. nine0003

The cage is used everywhere

A wooden table and a lamp with a shade as a lighting device will also find their place in the country interior.

Simple and cozy country

Even more warmth, and this must be taken literally, will add a fireplace. Built of stone or brick, it will become the main subject of a rustic setting. The flame of his fire will warm not only the body, but also the soul. The living room can accommodate comfortable furniture with nice fabric upholstery and a huge carpet. To create lighting, floor lamps with round lampshades are suitable, and a large green plant will be in harmony with the picturesque view that opens from the window. nine0003

The warmth of a fireplace in the interior

Provence

This is also country music, but in the French style. Light tranquility is the main mood that is conveyed in such interiors. First of all, you can achieve this effect by making the walls white or close to this color. The ceiling can not be touched, especially if the house is built of light wood. Elements protruding from the top of the house perfectly organize the space.

Charm of Provence

Only the beams can be left open, and the gaps between them can be pasted over or painted. Vegetation elements on the windows will dilute the general air background. nine0003

Rough wood combined with a delicate background

It's a good idea to buy a set for the kitchen. The bluish tint is a great option. In combination with beige walls, it gives an eye-pleasing combination. The whiteness of the ceiling will emphasize the neatness of the whole situation. Hanging round chandelier with candles will become a stylish decorating detail. If the kitchen is spacious, it will fit an exquisite table. And it will be complemented by soft chairs with curved backs, upholstered in floral textiles.

The table is decorated with a snow-white tablecloth, possibly crocheted. On the windows there is a transparent tulle, barely going beyond half of the opening. In the corner are icons beautifully decorated with embroidery. The lamp is made in the form of a lamp, reminiscent of antiquity.

The atmosphere of a village life reigns in the room

Let's move to the bedroom. The spacious bed is its central element. A coverlet made with love in the patchwork technique is very appropriate here. Of particular interest is a carpet with a colored geometric ornament. The floor itself is made of rough wood material. A touch of art is added to such an interior by paintings with a landscape. They are hung on the walls that do not provide for decoration. nine0003

It will not be difficult for owners of suburban real estate to create the interior decoration of a rustic-style house. Such decoration is akin to a return to the roots, to the origins of folk culture. Maybe that's why rural interiors give such a sense of peace, which happens only in childhood. For the same reason, they are so popular among residents of city apartments. nine0003

Design features in country style

Country creates a warm, relaxed atmosphere of a country house. Use pastel colors: olive, lavender, sand and others, avoid sharp contrasts. Since textiles are an indispensable attribute of decoration, decorate your living space with napkins, large-sized curtains, and lay a tablecloth with hand embroidery. Choose fabrics not synthetic, but cotton, linen or chintz.

Natural and decorative stone or bricks are perfect for wall decoration, you can paint them in a single color. Furniture, dishes, decorative items should be made of natural materials: glass, wood, stone or paper. Upholstery with small flowers is acceptable for sofas and armchairs. nine0003

Another name for the style is “French country”, such interiors are great for people who are tired of the bustle of the city and dream of immersing themselves in the atmosphere of a leisurely rural life. The walls, most often, are whitewashed or painted with white paint, decorated with paintings and natural or artificial flowers. All textile accessories should be made of bright fabrics with floral patterns. Exquisite, thin forged elements are actively used. The floor should be made plank and painted in a light color or decorated with stone tiles. nine0003

A distinctive feature is the large windows, which are not typical for other similar styles due to the peculiarities of climatic conditions. For the same reason, in most of Russia, such a solution is not recommended, since the building will cool too much in winter.

Historically developed characteristic feature of the direction is the active use of wooden materials. The walls, ceiling and floor are sheathed with boards, the furniture is made of the same material. Chests with traditional ornaments are often used. In the modern version of the style, rafters and beam ceilings are required.

An indispensable element is a Russian stove or a stylization of it, tiled stoves are often made, which in the past were characteristic of the design of palaces and castles, but harmoniously fit into a village house. To decorate the room, you can use towels, knitted toys, rag dolls, potholders (preferably handmade). nine0003

Rustic kitchen interior

When it comes to finishing and decorating work, it must be taken into account that in the past the kitchen was the central place in which most family events took place. The rest of the rooms were for sleeping. Therefore, when designing, close attention should be paid to the space of the kitchen. nine0003

If the size of the room allows, place a wooden nook and a dining table made of the same material.

The kitchen needs to be made light: the ceiling should be whitewashed with lime or water-based paint, the walls should be pasted over with plain light wallpaper (a floral ornament is possible), it is recommended to lay rugs on the floor. To decorate the room, use herbariums or straw figurines; napkins, curtains and potholders made of natural fabrics, hand embroidery will be a wonderful touch.

The design of the living room, in general, is close to the interior of the kitchen: whitewashed ceiling, light wallpaper. Vases or large pots of flowers are often placed on the windows, so the curtains should be up to the middle of the window. An interesting solution would be windows with internal shutters. An important element of the interior decoration of the living room is a fireplace. nine0003

Since the key condition of the interior is natural materials, upholstered furniture should be covered with woven cloth. Knitted napkins can be laid on bedside tables and tables, a carpet or carpet can be laid on the floor.

The central element of the design, around which the composition of the room gathers, is a large wooden or wrought iron bed with a natural mattress (ideally a feather bed) and a large number of pillows of different sizes. For textiles, linen or coarse calico in pastel shades with or without a medium-sized pattern should be preferred. Small rugs or rag rugs are placed on the floor. nine0003

It is better to choose bedside tables, cabinets, chairs, a massive chest of drawers or a chest of impressive size, decorated with carvings. The most important condition is good lighting, preferably natural, so there should be many windows in the room.
