So, if you are ready to update your interior with a bit of 21st century rural-inspired design, here are the must-have features you need to achieve the coveted modern farmhouse look.
Cosiness Counts
Today’s architecture is sleek and clean. We lean toward whites and greys, low-profile fittings, and minimalist accents. Modern farmhouse throws these interior ideals out the window, celebrating the imperfect and the quirky, the honest and the raw. Wool blankets, textured details, vintage accents, and warm wood tones transform the cold and unhospitable into a cosy haven.

Home is where the books are
Nothing says home like an overflowing bookcase packed with classics, family favourites, and those novels you never got around to reading. This bookcase features timber accents, making it the perfect choice for the modern farmhouse.
Swanky Stools
The modern farmhouse celebrates forms that follow function. These swanky style bar stools elevate any classic country kitchen with their funky legs and a natural reclaimed seat.
Industrial illumination
Bring the modern farmhouse look to your front porch or back deck with exterior lights boasting a decidedly industrial design. Rustic and uncompromising, pair these lights with soft furnishings and potted plants to complete the look.
Cosy head to toe
Rugs are a modern farmhouse must-have. Depending on your décor and personal preference, opt for a vintage Persian rug or keep it neutral with a stunning, 100 per cent wool, handwoven rug.
