One of the most popular home decor designs is the modern farmhouse look. Why? Because not only is it warm, cozy and comfortable but also brings tons of character to your home (and is generally gender neutral)!

The key to a style like this however, is to find a balance between modern and “farmhouse,” so as not to create a home that is too country-kitch (unless you want that kind of vibe). To stay balanced, I came up with 5 modern farmhouse home decor ideas to get you inspired as you turn your home into something you’d find in Better Homes & Gardens. Enjoy!

1. Farmhouse Table

This is a definite staple for any modern farmhouse home. A long wooden farmhouse table with communal stools on each end brings the entire family together. Whether it’s inside or outside, this table will make you feel like you are having a picnic all year round!

2. Classic Tile

As long as your appliances and cupboards are modern, consider implementing a vintage twist into your kitchen or bathroom and bring in “classic” white tile. It will make you feel like you are back in Grandma’s kitchen (without the old toaster and creaky cabinets).

3. Natural Elements

One of the simplest ways to create a Farmhouse look is to bring natural elements into the home. A green wreath and white flowers are a few of the many natural shrubs you can use to bring life into your new modern farmhouse!

4. Repurpose a ladder

Have an old ladder lying around in the backyard? Great! Grab it, give it a new paint color (or keep it looking rustic) and lean it against the wall to hang blankets, towels, newspapers — you name it!

5. Floating Shelves

Last but not least, install wooden floating shelves and hang up old and new family photos, as well as memorabilia. At the end of the day, what matters most in a modern farmhouse are the people and memories inside of it!
