How to Create a Farmhouse Bedroom
The farmhouse style remains popular among interior designers and homeowners as it offers a comfortable and welcoming living space with a modern touch. This style combines rustic furniture, traditional fabrics, soft industrial pieces, and a neutral color palette creating the perfect relaxed atmosphere for a bedroom
If you’d like to achieve the farmhouse look in your bedroom, follow these tips:
Sliding Wooden or French-Style Barn Doors
Replacing the standard doors in your bedroom with sliding wooden barn doors creates an immediate farmhouse look. Choosing a darker, distressed wood will make your room feel rustic and warm, but lighter wood will produce an open and inviting space. If you’re looking for a more modern approach, French-style barn doors offer the same sliding effect, but they are made of tempered steel and glass instead of wood. The French style gives the door a more sleek look with the recognizable concepts of a barn door.
Include Rustic Materials and Distressed Finishes
Brand-new furniture with no imperfections can easily make your bedroom feel like a showroom. To make your space feel comfortable and lived-in, include decor highlighting rustic materials and distressed finishes. Add table lamps with a chipped paint finish to your nightstands, a reclaimed wood headboard to your bed, or a Forest Glen Fern framed print to your walls to achieve a cozy atmosphere.
Choose Light-Colored Bedding with a Simple Design
Beds are usually a dominant focal point in a bedroom because they’re one of the larger pieces of furniture. To set the stage for a farmhouse-themed room, you’ll want to choose light-colored bedding with a simple and classic design, such as stripes or plaid. To tie the bed together and give it a country personality, add decorative pillows with images of sunflowers, bees, or even a local farm that follows the same color scheme as your covers.
Incorporate Gray into Your Color Palette
Farmhouse decor typically follows a neutral, earth-toned palette, but it’s important to ground these colors with a darker shade. Choose a simple charcoal gray fabric contrasting against a natural cream base to unify and accent different areas of your room. Whether it be curtains or valances for your windows or a throw blanket for your reading chair, the dark gray will help add dimension throughout your space.
Add Accent Pieces to Your Dresser Top
The modern farmhouse style follows a more minimalistic look regarding decor. To avoid clutter, only add a few accent pieces to the top of your dresser. Glass bottles in a wooden stand, wheat-colored feathery reed spray in a metal jug, and thick white candles on wooden candle holders are the perfect dress decor combination of simplicity and elegance.
