How to decorate a modern farmhouse living room?

There are a few stylistic tips, which set the farmhouse style apart. They are quite unique and easy to follow. The good news is that if you want to experiment you can combine the farmhouse interior with pretty much any other style – rustic or even industrial farmhouse decor. Whichever way you choose to go, the one thing that you are going to get is very cozy and homey feeling in your house.

Farmhouse living room decor with a modern fireplace

Fireplaces are a must when it comes to farmhouse interior. They serve as the focal point of the house and the whole living room is arranged around them. For a modern twist add a brick or stone fireplace wall, which will be the accent of the entire room.

Having a fireplace at home brings so much warmth and coziness

Light colors

Light neutral colors are what sets this style apart. Your living room needs to be as light as possible. Use darker colors as accents – cabinets, bookshelves or even carpet or throw pillows. This will make the room feel larger, but the infusion of little touches of color here and there will give it lots of character

Infuse some color through your furniture, but keep the walls in light, neutral colors

Farmhouse living room decor with wooden touches

Exposed wood beams are something that you will see very often in any farmhouse decor. Wood always provides coziness and warmth to your home. This non-traditional way of using wood, however, is also super modern and trendy. Wooden floors are also a must!

Exposed wood beams are one of the most popular trends

Experiment with fabrics

The good news is you have lots of room for experimentation when it comes to fabrics. Create your own furniture set by color-blocking and juxtaposing different fabrics. Velvet sofas and leather armchairs are a prime example of how good a mix-and-match furniture set can look.

Don’t be afraid to mix-and-match in your farmhouse living room decor

Add a few antique elements for an eclectic style

Let’s just point out that you don’t have to break the bank to get real antiquities. Just go to a few thrift shops in your area and you can find so many gems. A few antiques in your living room can add to that farmhouse style. What’s more, some art will definitely add lots of character to your home.

Browse around a few thrift shops and you will definitely find gems you can refurbish and use for your modern farmhouse decor

Let the nature in

We already mentioned wood, now it is time to pay attention to stone. Any natural elements you have outside, you can bring inside. That is the beauty of the farmhouse interior, brick or stone fireplace walls are so beautiful. You can create them as an accent of the entire room and build the whole interior around them.

Mix a stone fireplace wall with exposed wood beams and you have a classic farmhouse living room

Use actual barn doors

This may sound weird, but since we are talking about a farmhouse interior, why not add something from an actual farmhouse. Barn doors are a great addition to a clean and airy interior. They bring lots of character to your decor and are perfect for a central piece of the whole room.

Just look at this beautiful farmhouse decor with barn doors

Open plan space

Now, when it comes to old farmhouses, each room was separate from the rest. Nowadays, however, as we are all aware, most houses have an open plan space. That is not a problem at all. You can have an open plan space and still keep your farmhouse interior intact. As we already said, farmhouse can be matched with different decor styles. Which is why, you can combine a few rustic or even industrial elements to create an open plan farmhouse.

This open plan space has all indications of a farmhouse interior
