If you've ever found yourself dreaming of a home that whispers "rustic charm" while simultaneously shouting "Pinterest-worthy," then the modern Farmhouse style may be perfect for you. When done right, it evokes the warm, welcoming mood of traditional country houses while having just enough contemporary touches to stay grounded in the present.

So, what exactly is the modern Farmhouse design aesthetic? Picture the classic warm atmosphere of a homestead but with chic furnishings and neutral colours. It's traditional without being old and kitschy and makes contemporary design features look and feel comfortable.

To execute this design style well, you'll need a soft colour scheme as the base. It should be easy on the eyes and allow all the elements of the room to blend together effortlessly. Naturally, colours such as white, warm or cool neutrals and natural wood tones are perfect for this.

You can then add soft accents like earthy greens, blues, deep red and dark orange through décor and furniture. This helps create some depth while preserving that relaxing and grounding feel.

Modern farmhouse style has a strong connection to nature, so think about using materials that help bring the outside in, just like Claire and Michael Wilcocks did. Hardwood furniture, flooring and exposed beams are a great way to do so, but so are other elements such as white marble countertops, fireclay farmhouse sinks and jute rugs.

When it comes to furniture, blending sleek modern pieces with rustic accents is key. For instance, you can complement a big comfy contemporary sofa in a neutral colour with an older, heirloom or reclaimed side

table.

So, if you're someone who craves the cosy embrace of rustic living but with a modern twist, this aesthetic is your ticket to an interior you'll love.
