Farmhouse decor is where modern and rustic meets calm and bright.

Or make like designer Danielle and layer a sheepskin throw on a bench.

And the vase filled with branches is another charming touchsimple greeneryis also a farmhouse classic.

Guests will appreciate having a place to put on and take off shoes when they stop by.

Designer Sandra opted to keep her cabinet doors open to display all of the beautiful treasures she has inside.

Sticking to one color scheme for plates and glassware ensures that her collection appears curated and not overwhelming.

Add Woven Elements

Woven baskets and trays are staples in any farmhouse home.

They add welcome texture and are sturdy enough to stand the test of time.

Designer Megan placed ceramic planters atop the tray in her dining room for a simple yet chic centerpiece.

Designer Morgan also added a vintage inspired rug with warm hues that contributes to the room’s welcoming atmosphere.

We also like the idea of installing barn doors in afarmhouse bedroomto lead into the closet.

Designer @houseandholm’s addition of throw blankets and pillows encourages major relaxation.

We love how she, too, hung an all-seasons wreath in her home.

We often associate plants withboho spaces, but they complement any jot down of decor.

Olive trees (whether real or faux) are also popular among the farmhouse set.

You know that trunk that’s been collecting dust in the basement?

Allow it to see the light of day by making it part of your farmhouse style decor!

No farmhouse bedroom is complete without a knit blanket like designer Janea’s.

A round, black mirror always looks right on trend in a farmhouse style home.

Designer Gbeke hung hers in a shiplap-covered hallway, which allows the deep hue to really stand out.

Beaded chains are the perfect coffee table accent for a farmhouse home.

While neutral, they add textural interest and aren’t too delicate.

Designer Nita kept her coffee table decor nice and simplebut it’s by no means boring.

Knit rugs also provide relief for achy feet and prevent a living room from feeling too stuffy.

Designer Meeghan even added a knit stool to her setup (we do love a good theme).

Designer Michelle Martel opted for a darling pattern in this bathroom that adds some welcome whimsy to the space.

Use them as plant stands or to hold vases, as designer Frankie did.

Installing a porch swing big enough for two or three will make warm weather lounging all the more enjoyable.

Additionally, an indoor/outdoor carpet and a coffee table will help your outdoor space appear a bit more finished.

Designer Cindy’s porch is certainly calling our names!

Designer Michelle layered rugs in her living room to create a plush place to relax.

Even if your home features existing wall to wall carpet, you don’t have to feel trapped.

It will make a major difference and add lots of life.

No home is complete without agallery wall(trust us).

Its wooden tones complement the primitive open shelf below it in designer Margy’s home.

Make even the most mundane of meals feel a little more luxe with a display that elevates the everyday.

Windsor chairs are inviting and commonplace in farmhouse homes, and they add welcome height to any table.

Designer Amber Pierce styled hers with an Edison bulb light fixture that complements both farmhouse and industrial style spaces.

Yearning for a piece of art that looks like the real deal?

Oh, and we spy another blanket ladder here, too!

And such a piece will only become more storied and special with age.

But when outfitting a farmhouse-inspired kitchen, opting for simple designs is best.

Say Yes to Spindle Chairs

Kate Marker

Spindle furniture and farmhouse design go hand in hand.

A small painting above adds even more nostalgic appeal.

The wood on the bench feels as if it’s always been there.

Light and airy white bedding keeps the space feeling bright.

This Michelle Berwick Design anchors a bright room with the black chairs.

Use Leather Accents

The rich cognac tones of a well-worn leather are a staple in farmhouse design.

They add just enough masculine edge to moodier spaces, like in this farmhouse kitchen from Ashley Montgomery Design.

In this laundry room Ashley Webb Design, black and ivory farmhouse tiles add a statement-making pop of pattern.

A butcher block island is a practical and durable choice that has rustic appeal.

Finding Lovely used evergreen swag to create a natural farmhouse holiday scene that feels both traditional and fresh.

@kirsten.diane used mums in autumnal colors to make this back deck feel like an abundant, seasonal space.

The colors are classics that have been used for generations, but, here, they feel fresh.

Rustic decor is another style replacing farmhouse style in some places.

When compared tocountry style, farmhouse decor is typically brighter, cleaner, and more modern.

Country decor will have more collected look, with elements of both farmhouse and cottage style.
