This decor is about designing a space that is comfortable, functional, clean, and inviting, a central gathering place for family and friends to convene.

These kind of furniture can help you add some history to your home. Remember to mix and match modern furniture with vintage finds for a unique look to avoid the house looking outdated.
Light Fixtures
One of the fastest and easiest ways to change the feel of any space is with a light fixture. Most farmhouse-style light fixtures will be candle chandeliers, as they mimic what was available back in the day. Pendant lighting will also give you a similar look and feel. Don’t be afraid of using a large-sized chandelier as it can become your statement piece and draw attention to spaces like your living room or dining room.
Open and Inviting

Think deep kitchen sinks, large block islands, and bar top seating for making the kitchen the center of entertainment. Easy and open connection between kitchen and dining with plenty of chairs, benches allow family to gather and enjoy meals together.
Wicker and Rattan
These natural materials are by far the go-to for decorating with farmhouse style in mind. Use these materials in laundry, plant baskets to connect the outdoors to the indoor and adding that country look and feel you’re striving for.
