We simply never tire of beautiful farmhouse style design elements. The way we see it, you don't have to live way out in the country to enjoy the benefits of this ultra-chic design sensibility, nor do you need to have a barn or a backyard chicken coop to connect to this aesthetic. You simply have to appreciate modern-rustic decor ideas!
Here, we're helping you take your love of farmhouse style to the next level with interesting decorating ideas for every room in your house. From farmhouse kitchens to bedroom decorating ideas to, yes, even rustic bathrooms, we've got all the professional tips and tricks that'll keep you inspired and your guests "ooh"-ing and "ahh"-ing. After all, is there anything more thought-provoking than a reclaimed wood coffee table, vintage gingham curtains, or a cozy chair that looks like it was plucked straight from the set of a Western movie?
Of course, what we love most is that each and every idea here takes a cue from a real-life house or room. We've got an elegant kitchen trend from a Mississippi barn, living room ideas from an 18th-century farmhouse, and even vintage cabinet ideas straight out of the walls of a charming New York farmhouse. Whether you have plans to renovate your house in the near future or you're just imagining the look of your dream home, this swoon worthy collection of farmhouse décor will serve you well.
