Farmhouse

A practical style, both in form and function, farmhouse has simplicity at its core. Hardworking furnishings, natural textiles and a paired back aesthetic create a down-to-earth look. White washed walls, worn floorboards, exposed wooden beams and shiplap wall panelling all create this timeless style. Furniture pieces such as ladder backed chairs, industrial metal stools, antique farm tables and four poster beds all feature amongst muted colours taken from the farmhouse such as buttermilk cream, greige, cool grey, duck egg blues, sage, cinnamon, pumpkin, navy blue and mushroom. Prints are generally kept to stripes, large checks and muted florals. Butchers block table tops, barn doors, large exposed ‘farmhouse’ sinks’, free standing cabinets, and open shelving assist in creating your modern farmhouse at home.
