Charming and unpretentious,
FARMHOUSE STYLE exudes
warmth and simplicity. Farmhouse décor
is meant to look as if it’s been collected
over time, and design elements include
weathered finishes, exposed beams,
fabrics in a mix of prints and textures,
and rustic accents.
T his graceful and welcoming
front hallway features a
vintage runner layered atop a
simple natural fiber mat, making the
space functional for foot traffic while
giving us the layered look we so love.
Farmhouse style is all about simplicity.
Layer in an abundance of natural
textures, materials, and tones to get a
look that’s typically attained only with
the passage of time. As is the case with
any style you are trying to achieve, use
moderation! Don’t go overboard with all
things ‘farmhouse.’ Throw in a modern
piece of artwork or furniture for good
measure, and always trust your gut. If
you’re asking yourself if it’s too much,
then it probably is.” –
