The farmhouse trend has been around in the interior design industry for quite some time. We can’t help but swoon over the most recent twist on this classic trend, modern farmhouse design. While classic farmhouse interiors may be too traditional for some of us, this modern take on the trend is so incredibly versatile and gorgeous! No one does this better than the master, Joanna Gains. Follow these top 3 essentials for incorporating modern farmhouse interior design in your own home!
1. Modern Farmhouse Must Have: Textures Galore
The majority of farmhouse interiors have a great sense of hygge. The feel cozy and welcoming from the moment you step into the room. This is because of the layering of textures. Using fur and leather throw pillows to contrast against the hardwood and stone finishes and as a result, you’ll have an inviting and interesting space.
Another way to bring in additional texture is to incorporate items from nature. We love seeing pops of greenery (that works in ANY space!). Area rugs are also an essential texture need!
2. Mixing Metals
Farmhouse interior design isn’t the only design style that loves to mix metals. This growing trend is here to stay. Contrast is your friend! We love how gold hardware pop’s against black cabinets.
Black, gold, silver, oh my! They all work together so beautifully when you pay attention to detail. Decorilla designer, Corine M gave us some great Bathroom Design Ideas by mixing metals seamlessly!
3. Modern Farmhouse Interior Design Ideas: Focal Kitchens
Kitchens no longer blend into the background. We love that farmhouse design isn’t afraid to make a bold statement with the heart of the home. Bold trends like herringbone backsplash tiles, colored, cabinets, and bold fixtures are common features seen throughout this fixer-upper paradise.
Don’t forget to look up! Bold pendant lights over the kitchen island are another great way to incorporate the modern farmhouse design into your own home.
