There are so many styles to choose from when it comes to the look and feel of your home or office. (It\u2019s almost like they\u2019re made up or something.) For a while now, contemporary decor trends like minimalism and mid-century modern have loomed large over modern farmhouse design ideas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, for many folks who grew up in far more traditional homes, these more contemporary looks can feel intimidating and a bit cold. Add to that the lessons of the last few years about how important your home\u2019s design can be, and you may be longing for other alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enter the joy of modern farmhouse design style \u2014 the great interior design peacemaker<\/em>. Not comfortable being cold and also not signing up for cluttered or overly knick-knacky, modern farmhouse design is the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today we\u2019ll head out to the farm, so to speak. We\u2019ll clear up what modern farmhouse design style is, look at examples of folks who\u2019ve taken the leap and made over their interiors, and go one step further by giving you ideas for ways you can do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We love the simplicity of contemporary design. We don\u2019t love how that simplicity can sometimes feel unwelcoming. Modern farmhouse design rises to that challenge. While keeping things generally uncluttered, it leans on natural and reclaimed textures to offer simplicity and<\/em> warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With upholstery fabrics, the \u201cmodern<\/a>\u201d in a modern farmhouse is found in earthy neutrals like white, tan, and grey. But no taut overly firm pieces here. Think comfy and snuggle-friendly. Farmhouse design recognizes that your spaces need to be able to be lived in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Modern farmhouse style and styles like boho chic<\/a> share a love for all things eclectic. However, modern farmhouses use details and decorations to sew a narrative, to tell a story about the people who call the space home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All of this adds up to the modern farmhouse style offering all the sink-in coziness of traditional interior design with the elevated sense of clean, considered design of more contemporary styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Knowing about modern farmhouse style is great, but visualizing it in your space is a whole other thing. Let\u2019s look at a few farmhouse makeovers to give you a sense of what a before-and-after might look like for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n First a couple of super thorough tours. We love how Southern Living<\/em> offers a look at modern farmhouse makeover possibilities for every nook and cranny<\/a>. And designer Jenna Sue\u2019s tour of her 1970s home renovation is non-stop before and after<\/a> shots covering every room in the house. (Also, nothing to do with modern farmhouses, but that view. Wow<\/em>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now let\u2019s get more specific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get a sense of what your new bathroom<\/a> could look like from DIYer Kelly Marie. She takes hers from an outdated ocean theme to an uncluttered, functional modern farmhouse look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jamie Bittinger invites you into her traditional midwestern home to check out her kitchen<\/a> renovation. Just refreshing that one (decidedly high traffic) room feels like a whole new house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a deep dive into what a bedroom redesign might feel like, Amanda at This Crazy Life<\/em> compiled her favorites. She walks you through a budget-friendly DIY of not one, not two, but three bedrooms<\/a> as she takes them from fading to modern farmhouse fab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And there are loads of resources to help you with the details. Like these ideas from Sara Joy, who offers 10 simple ways<\/a> to get farmhouse style in your home. Or if super chic is the priority, check out these 9 stunning modern farmhouse transformation<\/a> ideas from Erica Nichols at City Girl Gone Mom<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Real talk \u2014 sometimes upholstery is a real hassle. (Not with KOVI<\/a>, of course, but at other places. *wink*) Kidding aside, choosing the \u201cright\u201d upholstery to go with these other colors and textures to fit some grand design vision can feel overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s what we love about modern farmhouse design. It\u2019s simpler. Because it\u2019s simpler. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, as a rule, your big pieces will be neutral, earthy tones \u2014 functional, simple, and clean.<\/em> Pops of pattern and color are used playfully but sparingly. And, usually made out of woven cotton or a cotton blend, denim, gingham, and country-themed patterns come by all that simple, grounded design vibe naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Denim\u2019s performance and texture are for so much more than your favorite jeans. Take your sofas clean and inviting with pearl white<\/a> denim or more off-white and natural with oyster<\/a> color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Curtains in powder blue<\/a> denim offer a lift to your windows, while a subtle taupe<\/a> can offer definition without pulling the eye from accents. Give armchairs their own vibe in metal gray<\/a> without spoiling your neutrals or \u2014 not to be left out of the fun \u2014 try actual<\/em> denim blue<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n (All the light colors making you a bit twitchy? Fear not. They\u2019re Crypton-strong<\/a>. So you can have style and functionality, too.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might not know the word gingham, but you know gingham. As the folks at Masterclass<\/em><\/a> put it, think Dorothy\u2019s iconic dress in The Wizard Of Oz<\/em> \u2014 a small-scale checkered print right at home in farmhouse design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try adding throw pillows in brick red<\/a> gingham tweed. Or an ottoman impeccably unimposing in indigo and beige<\/a>. Imagine your office windows curtained in calming cornflower blue<\/a> gingham. Or kitchen chairs upholstered in juniper green<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gingham\u2019s cousin, plaid, fits as well. Bring color to any bedroom with bedding, drapes, or a headboard in a classic burgundy and dark blue<\/a> plaid. Or make it light and lovely pink plaid<\/a> instead. Back in the family room, large-scale graphite black<\/a> plaid table runner anyone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Part of the fun of modern farmhouse design is in playful, kitschy details that add personality to the comforting feeling of your space. Like with patterned upholstery accents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s a reason this rustic cabin patterned tapestry fabric is called \u201cSerenity<\/a>.\u201d With its greens, blues, and gold, it will indeed add a bit of serenity as accent pillows or curtains. Same with this classic bear, moose, and deer<\/a> wildlife pattern, perfect for just a bit of lodge style. And stay true to the uncluttered modern farmhouse aesthetic while adding a nostalgic cozy vibe with a Wedgewood blue<\/a> plaid accent armchair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By now, we\u2019re betting you\u2019re sold on the modern farmhouse design style. With its nod to the clean, simplicity of modern design<\/a> and<\/em> embrace of a cozy farmhouse welcome, what\u2019s not to love?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh right. The cost of renovating. So we\u2019ve got one last thing to offer you.
