Cosiness counts

Today’s architecture is sleek and clean.  We lean toward whites and greys, low-profile fittings, and minimalist accents.  Modern farmhouse throws these interior ideals out the window, celebrating the imperfect and the quirky, the honest and the raw.  Wool blankets, textured details, vintage accents, and warm wood tones transform the cold and inhospitable into a cosy haven.

Home is where the books are

Nothing says home like an overflowing bookcase packed with classics, family favourites, and those novels you never got around to reading.  This bookcase features timber accents, making it the perfect choice for the modern farmhouse.

In the open

The modern farmhouse isn’t about clean, untouched surfaces – it’s about honest family living.  Put your kitchen essentials on display while adding an industrial twist to your food prep area with a wall-mounted kitchen storage rail.

Bursting with character

Modern farmhouse is all about embracing the imperfect, the natural, and the handmade.  Quirks give furniture and decor character and charm, a sense of history and meaning.  Timber is a fantastic way to add character to your home, and a long dining table crafted from quality oak or mango wood is an excellent choice.  Add a no-frills bench to one side and a hodgepodge collection of mismatched chairs to the other.

Industrial innovations

Raw textures and strong finishes are hallmarks of industrial design.  But when partnered with soft fabrics, nature-inspired decor, and character-filled accents, the finished product is undeniably modern farmhouse chic.  Add an industrial twist with start shelving units, seating, lighting, and more, featuring dark iron hues and metallic finishes.
