These Spaces take Modern Farmhouse to the Next Level
There is no denying the appeal of the Modern Farmhouse style. We can thank HGTV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines for making this home decor style so popular by way of their 2013 Fixer Upper show. The humbleness and simplicity in farmhouse design lend to comfortable and easy living that so many of us find attractive. Below we’ve shared seven envy-inducing spaces that exemplify the hallmarks of modern farmhouse style and some tips on incorporating them into your home.
Mix your Finishes
Modern Farmhouse has never been a style where you can not mix and match your finishes. Designate the number of finishes per room you would like to incorporate. Typically you can use 2-3 finishes per room, 3 is for a larger space. The best rule of thumb when mixing finishes is to pair warm and cool undertones. Warm metals like vibrant gold feel balanced and become richer in color when accented with a cool tone, like chrome. The Vibrant Gold Abbot pendants take center stage on this kitchen island.

Simplicity is key
Modern farmhouse interiors tend to have a minimalistic feel; think less is more. Do not overcrowd a room with a ton of accent and decorative pieces. Clean lines, clutter-free surfaces, and using neutral and warm colors will make the space feel inviting for you and your guests. The contrast of the black finish of the linear Abbot and Mila chandelier adds interest and depth to this minimalistic dining room.
Layer with Wood Tones
Using the same wood tone in a space can make a room look flat. Layering various shades of wood grains from ultra-light to dark will always naturally complement and contrast each other. Add warmth with exposed beams and textural accents. The Niles Black Forged finish mixed with Modern Gold metal provides a vivid splash of contrast to a room's décor.
SHINE A LIGHT WITH Oversized PendantS
This stark white and grey kitchen gets some fresh farmhouse style with accents of shiplap and oversized Libby Langdon for Crystorama Sylvan pendants. These statement fixtures are the perfect centerpiece to the room, whether hung over a kitchen island or done in a hallway.
FOCUS ON COMFORT
Create a sense of harmony with furniture and curated pieces of decor that are true to a clean, airy, and comfy vibe. Choose colors, textures, and lighting, like our Zucca chandelier, that exude warmth and relaxation yet is elegant and refined.
Add Shiplap Details
Shiplap details above the fireplace add iconic farmhouse flair. Farmhouse shiplap detail can change the whole look of a room in a subtle way. Whether used as an accent wall, half wall, or along the whole wall, shiplap adds texture, dimension, and rustic charm. The Bailey 8-Light chandeliers' clean lines and unadorned design bring a timeless appeal to this interior space.
