Fashionable Farmhouse Interiors
FASHIONABLE FARMHOUSE interiors combine chic and elegant interior design with rustic cosiness to create a homely space that is perfect for curling up and relaxing. This interior look is light and bright and provides a perfect mix of masculine and feminine design features. Forget old fashioned furnishings and boring fabrics, this look is sure to create a refined designer feel within your home.
Opt for cosy yet cool colour palettes that create a neutral base within your chosen room. Classic and antique whites will look great combined with calming grey and mauve while cosy cream can be teamed with mocha and caramel tones for a classic interior ambience. For a chic and elegant finish, opt for classic floral print wallpapers that feature simple designs and pastel colour palettes or opt for tartan, whitewashed wood or exposed brick wallpapers that provide a modern twist on a traditional farmhouse style home.
When selecting fabrics for your soft furnishings; opt for delicate and elegant materials that can be combined with more rustic and textural fabrics for a variety of interior styles. White lace is a great choice for curtains, cushions and bedding as is creates visual pattern whilst remaining fresh and illuminating. Combine your delicate lace with pastel coloured gingham, rustic hemp and wool for a cosy and countrified design that is chic and cosy. For an added pop of pattern, you can update a plain upholstered seating area or oak bed with some floral patterned cushions and throws that will add a zoned area of colour to your neutral backdrop.
Where possible make the most of any exposed wood that you can showcase within your chosen room. Ceiling beams and wooden cladding will create a focal point within your home and look fabulous against the light and cosy tones of the painted walls; this can be further accentuated with some solid oak or flagstone flooring for a rustic look that is classically and aesthetically pleasing. Combine with coordinating wood or grey, cream and white painted furniture that will create a vintage elegance that is simple yet stylish. Wood burning stoves will create a striking focal point in your living room interior and can be teamed with a chunky oak mantelpiece for a cosy and welcoming finish.
Keep accessories as simple and natural as possible with homely vintage items that will create a focal point within the room. Choose wooden planters, photo frames and oak mirrors and team with antique suitcases, lanterns and birdcages that will look fabulous displayed around your chosen room. Select some indoor plants such as roses and lavender that will create an air of British garden charm within your home. Opt for kitchen accessories such as old fashioned mixers, kettles and crisp white or floral crockery and team with antique style taps and piping in chrome, copper or brass that will compliment the rustic nature of the design.
