Farmhouse interior design incorporates rustic elements and neutral colors that allude simpler times. Any homeowner can embrace the farmhouse style with a few key color selections and furniture pieces. Farmhouse decor often uses worn-looking wood elements, metal, and off-whites to make the furniture look antique—even if it is brand new. This design style became popular with the rise of neutral tones: whites, light browns, and grays are considered calming colors, and many homeowners have embraced them, and for that reason, it’s natural for farmhouse furniture to match these color palettes.
Types of Farmhouse Styles
There are also different types of farmhouse furniture to accommodate various design preferences. Here are a few options to consider:
| Farmhouse Styles | Key Elements |
|---|---|
| Traditional Farmhouse | This is the main inspiration for farmhouse design. Homes designed around this style look like they were crafted by pieces found at flea markets and antique stores, full or rustic, “lived-in” appeal. White, natural wood, whitewash wood, and neutral tones are major components of this core design. |
| Modern Farmhouse | This design trend balances modern trends with classic, cozy farmhouse vibes. It is a compromise for people who don’t want to commit to the traditional farmhouse aesthetic, as well as homeowners looking to bring modern elements into the home, such as glass surfaces, metal accents, and pops of color. |
| Coastal Farmhouse | This variation on farmhouse design adds beachy elements to traditional farmhouse designs. Think shades of blue, whitewashed and naturally bleached wood surfaces, and colors found from coastal scenes like sage green, amber, and brown. |
| French Farmhouse | Also known as French Provençal style, this version of farm design combines vintage European elements such as arched architecture, French-style stonework and wood designs, and inspiration from the French countryside such as floral patterns. |
Using Farmhouse Furniture in the Living Room
The best way to utilize farmhouse furniture is by making it the centerpiece of the room. When shopping for farmhouse living room furniture, focus on the couch and chairs to drive the impact of the design, while wood coffee tables and TV stands help bring this texture into the living room space. Here are a few farmhouse style living room furniture examples that ooze with cozy charm.

“I like the color and size. It's a big dresser but it doesn't close in the room like dark furniture. I have used dark furniture my whole life and I'm so glad I switched to this lighter color. It's beautiful.”
How to Add Farmhouse Furniture in the Dining Room
Farmhouse dining room furniture is made for people to gather over a hearty meal. Here’s our top takeaway: Look for intimate pieces for your family to eat together every night or larger tables that can accommodate friends, relatives, and other guests. If you have a cozier kitchen, farmhouse design is the perfect way to give it personality with a light color palette that won’t overwhelm the setting. Have a large dining area? You can still go for a lighter color scheme, but consider a modern approach with moments of color for balance, or go heavier on décor to keep the space from feeling empty.
Whatever you serve in your farmhouse dining room is sure to be delicious. Here are a few farmhouse style dining room furniture pieces to consider.

Pair this table with white upholstered dining chairs for a complete look full of cozy appeal (Hint: Our next recommendation is a great option).
