The rustic-chic farmhouse trend could not be more fashionable right now, and with its use of vintage elements, airy spaces and modern-yet-earthy textures, the look is the perfect design approach for a home in the mountains. The first step in creating a rustic-chic farmhouse living room is to set the stage for furnishings and accessories.
Natural wood floors, exposed beams, crown molding and beadboard are all features that instantly make a space feel more authentic. Incorporate reclaimed pieces that show the natural beauty of the grain, and vintage elements like old window shutters, shiplap paneling, sliding barn doors, or repurposed crates.
Adding cool-toned metals is a surefire way to keep your farmhouse-style living space feeling current (and not too country). Edgy industrial accents can go a long way in subtly infusing contemporary design into your farm-inspired room—think ironwork, steel beams, and Edison-style light fixtures.
Once you’ve worked from the ground up to create stunning rustic-chic farmhouse style, you can now get even more creative with farm-inspired accessories. Bring a ladder into the space for blanket storage, display fresh flowers in mason jars, and add depth to your walls with a faux deer skull.
Achieving the rustic-chic farmhouse look in your living room requires blending natural textures, classic and clean furniture, distressed wooden pieces, industrial metal accents, and interesting items—and the result will be worth the effort.
