Farmhouse style

The farmhouse style combines elegance with functionality and embraces nature. This style makes extensive use of natural materials such as wood, cotton, and linen. A farmhouse interior exudes hospitality and relaxation.

What defines the farmhouse style?

Create a farmhouse-style interior with a blend of clean lines, natural materials, elegant details, and handmade accessories that nod to nature.

  • Clean, minimalist lines: This style emphasises simplicity and clean lines, resulting in a light and spacious interior.
  • Natural materials: Furniture is often crafted from natural materials such as wood and metal, combined with linen and yarn.
  • Traditional details: Decorative elements are highly popular in this style, both in accessories and on furniture, such as mouldings and turned legs.
  • Handmade accessories: Accessories made from various types of metal, rattan, leather, linen, and yarn fit perfectly within this aesthetic.

Colours that suit the farmhouse style

Looking to furnish your home in farmhouse style? Make generous use of natural and muted colours. Typical shades include white, earth tones, grey, navy blue, and black. These colours help brighten your home during the long, dark winters and create a light and airy feel during the extended summer days.
