Farmhouse Living Room Ideas
Cozy and trendy, farmhouse style is perfect for creating a welcoming living room to relax in. Taking inspiration from simple American farmhouses and elegant English country homes, farmhouse style can be interpreted in a number of different ways. You can take it in more of a modern direction, with just a nod to simpler times, or you can go for a rustic cottage look. While you browse farmhouse living room ideas, consider the sorts of color schemes and decorative accents you’ll want to incorporate in your home.
Use Rustic and Repurposed Objects
One of the defining features of farmhouse style is using repurposed or reclaimed pieces with a lot of character. While you search for farmhouse decor ideas, consider adding in creative touches like glass milk jars used for vases or a piece of reclaimed wood made into a wall clock. Wooden crates can be turned over and used as side tables. Metal buckets can be used to hold magazines or books, or used to hold dried flowers.
Decorate With Rustic Farmhouse Decor
If you’d like to go for a classic farmhouse living room, try mixing and matching old fashioned furniture pieces as you might find in a country home. To achieve a truly rustic feel, pick and choose chairs, sofas and tables that you love, and don’t be too concerned about being overly matchy. Pairing rustic home decor and furniture that loosely goes together will help you create more of a laid back, country style.
You might choose vintage farmhouse curtains in a floral or plaid pattern and outfit the living room with traditional armchairs and wooden side tables. Still lifes that focus on flowers or fruit make for good farmhouse wall art, as do American colonial style prints of pastoral scenes. A round, braided rug is a classic choice to go with your farmhouse home decor. If you’re trying to figure out what a farmhouse couch might look like, it’s largely in how you dress it up. A traditional couch with a tufted back can be particularly elegant. But a classic cushion back sofa upholstered in a cheerful fabric can be equally fitting in a farmhouse style living room.

You can also go for more of a crisp and clean mode make the space even more comfortable. Wooden floors look great with farmhouse decor, and can be warmed up with a jute rug. Finally, outdoorsy touches like lantern-style pendant lights, rustic all-season wreaths and plenty of candles will also add to the look.
Country style naturally goes well with industrial farmhouse decor, which can be achieved by mixing metals, glasses and woods. Wrought iron chandeliers and light fixtures contrast nicely with whites and creams. Similarly, metal barstools pair well with wooden tabletops. Exposed Edison bulbs also offer an industrial touch while still hearkening back to an old-fashioned style.

Light hardwood floors flow from room to room on the first level. Oil-rubbed bronze light fixtures add a sense of eclectic elegance to the farmhouse setting. Horizontal stair railings give a modern touch to the farmhouse nostalgia. Stained wooden beams contrast beautifully with the crisp white tongue and groove ceiling. A barn door conceals a private, well-lit office or homework nook with bespoke shelving.

A 1940's bungalow was renovated and transformed for a small family. This is a small space - 800 sqft (2 bed, 2 bath) full of charm and character. Custom and vintage furnishings, art, and accessories give the space character and a layered and lived-in vibe. This is a small space so there are several clever storage solutions throughout. Vinyl wood flooring layered with wool and natural fiber rugs. Wall sconces and industrial pendants add to the farmhouse aesthetic. A simple and modern space for a fairly minimalist family. Located in Costa Mesa, California. Photos: Ryan Garvin
