If you have read any interior design blogs or magazines lately you have probably seen the term, Modern Farmhouse. This is easily one of the most popular interior design styles. This style showcases a nurturing and homey design that produces warmth and charm. The modern farmhouse style encompasses the traditional farmhouse look of using wooden furniture pieces and neutral colors while adding industrial accents and mixed materials to give a modern flare.
Furniture using reclaimed wood is a staple in modern farmhouse décor. Reclaimed wood is left with unique knots and other interesting markings giving it plenty of character and charm. Furniture using reclaimed wood has a rich history and tells a story. No two pieces will be the same making the reclaimed wood furniture that you choose completely original.
Barn-style sliding doors have been increasing in popularity over the past several years with the modern farmhouse era of design. Some homes are adding sliding barndoors in place of doors within their home but if you are looking to add this style to your home without swapping out your doors, select pieces of furniture that have this style. Many furniture options are available that incorporate these popular sliding doors such as entertainment centers, kitchen cabinets, sideboards, and armoires.
One prominent feature in modern farmhouse homes is the lighting. Industrial lighting uses dark metals or distressed wood to create an eye-catching light fixture. This style of lighting fits perfectly into modern farmhouse decor because of the nostalgia and sense of warmth that these pieces possess. Don’t be afraid to go big with lighting, especially in the kitchen and dining room. Overscale lighting over a kitchen island or dining room table is a trendy look whether that be oversized pendants, a large globe, or a long linear chandelier.
A traditional farmhouse style dining room would consist of a farmhouse dining table with matching wooden chairs, but the modern farmhouse design uses a mixture of materials and colors. Select a live-edge dining table or a dining table made from reclaimed wood but mix in upholstered chairs to give your dining room a more modern appeal. Use a mixture of seating such as combining a wooden bench with hair-on-hide chairs to give the dining room unique character.
