Farmhouse Furniture Style

There are several elements to farmhouse furniture to see if you can incorporate it into your home décor. One of the main elements is practicality. Practicality isn’t only about function but also the form. Farmhouse furniture tends to be simpler instead of decorative. Modern style still favors using natural materials, including wicker, stone, reclaimed wood, and cotton upholstery. Since the furniture is simpler, there will be a variety of different textures in order to add depth and contrast to the home. This includes distressed wood, metal accents, and canvas upholstery that is used to prevent the room from looking flat. Adding a variety of textures can help create contrast and depth in your home.

When farmhouse style started, people furnished home as furniture was built or acquired so the style isn’t as coordinated or planned as others. Instead of buying matching collections, you can mix and match your pieces in an interesting and unique way. You don’t need to mix old and new pieces; you can also include different materials such as stainless steel with natural wood. You can take your time to find the right furniture that showcases your personality and matches your style.

Farmhouse style is based on minimalism and embraces a lack of clutter. However, unlike other modern styles, there is also added warmth. There shouldn’t be extra furniture that is not needed because farmhouse style tends to be functional, comfortable, and cozy. Farmhouse style allows you to embrace imperfection. When choosing wood furniture, any nicks or knots add to the authenticity. When choosing materials, you may want to choose a more weathered metal look that can show a long history. Even though farmhouse style embraces minimalism, the pieces tend to be on a larger scale to help with function and comfort. You will likely want to choose larger and more comfortable furniture pieces or aesthetically focused, sleeker objects. Mixed metals have been gaining popularity and it’s also true for farmhouse décor. It helps combine the new and old and wood with metals gives a utilitarian look. Try different metal accents to your décor. Matte-finished metal can look great with natural wood pieces and stainless steel appliances.
