You did it! You put the final nail in your home’s new accent wood wall. But the room only feels halfway done. Your modern farmhouse plans aren’t quite finished.

What does this mean for you? It’s time to keep that creativity alive and think up more ideas to bring your farmhouse-inspired room together. Here are some modern farmhouse design tips to follow so you are continuing this beautiful trend while also not overdoing it.

Contemporary Farmhouse Style

There are many design elements to consider when you begin to decorate your modern farmhouse dream home. You need to think of color schemes, furniture options, and even textures. Extra tips: make sure there is plenty of wood—you’re at a great start if you’ve already built that wood wall—and consider industrial pieces for any room.

Out with the new, in with the old

Modern farmhouse design is a contradiction, but at least it’s a pretty one. Flea market and antique stores will become your best friends because you want pieces that are somewhat worn. What better place to get those than a second-hand shop?

However, you don’t want to overwhelm your space with rustic pieces. What gives the area a “modern farmhouse” look is when it has both old and new designs to play off of each other.

Take in the texture

A modern farmhouse look calls for a ton of neutral colors, but you don’t want the room to be bland with too much use of those colors. Using textures—and we mean a wide variety of textures—will help you avoid this problem at all costs. Look for chairs, tables, and light fixtures with hard edges or that have an unfinished look to them.

Tip: Your already existing wood wall follows this rule, so you’re a step closer to having your dream home.

Keeping it casual

Doing the modern farmhouse design idea means staying cool. Using fun coffee table books, colorful throw pillows, and funky-shaped lamps are easy ways to achieve a casual look in any room. Hanging vintage-framed photos or eccentric wall art is another casual design element—and they won’t look half bad hung right on that new accent wood wall.

Put it in neutral

Modern farmhouse design thrives when it’s plastered in a neutral color scheme. Your whites and browns look better when paired with wood furniture and heavy uses of textures. If neutral colors are too dull for you, there’s no need to overdo it anyway: make the room pop with colorful throws and statement pieces to draw attention to an area of the room.

Start on Your Modern Farmhouse Architecture

The most significant thing about modern farmhouse design is how easy and inexpensive it is to achieve. No piece you’ll have will quite bring in the look like reclaimed wood wall paneling, though.
