20 Essentials for the Farmhouse Modern Look

It’s true that everyone loves the new trend of mixing found and vintage items with a contemporary vibe. Clean lines mixed with barn doors and warm upholstered deep seating. Modern hardware and large scale rectangular tile with jute rugs and track arm sofas. It’s all fun and fabulous – I love it. It’s definitely something I do a lot of – my clients can’t get enough of the farmhouse modern look.

A few things are key:

• Cotton & linen
• A subdued accent color
• Greige (the color!)
• Distressed or painted wood accessories
• Painted white accents
• Found & vintage items
• Marble & jute

Below I had my very talented builder make this barn door to fit perfectly in this space. My client was a new mom and she wanted to be able to see directly into the playroom but she wanted to be able to close it off if guests were in the back bedroom.

There was an odd, narrow and tall wall between the kitchen and hallway. I had the builder create this beautiful open “X” framed detail. We couldn’t remove the entire wall because it housed electric and central vacuum. I love the way it turned out. Also notice the painted wood tongue and groove on island.

Below is a great farmhouse modern look with the emphasis on the modern. The slab wood table is definitely rustic. The upholstered slipcovered chairs are warm and casual.

A large trestle table (that looks found) below mixed with a super modern light fixture and upholstered linen chairs below. A perfect combo of modern and farmhouse. Plus the parquet floors definitely create a rustic vibe.

A beaded chandelier with painted shiplap on the walls below is uber fresh. Add in some painted wood chairs that look “found” and by George you’ve got it!
