Exposed wooden beams are really popular right now in interior design. They can make a space feel open and rustic, yet still charming. Exposing your wooden beams will incorporate natural elements and a country feel into your design scheme.

2) Vintage Art

Vintage wall art can really add to the farmhouse feel. Just imagine a French countryside oil painting in your living room next to a weathered-finished fireplace mantle adorned with mason jar candles and cherished trinkets.

3) Ceramic Dinnerware

Ceramic dishes will make any dining room feel farmhouse inspired. Consider a white, ceramic pitcher on top of rustic wine barrels, ceramic white or grey coffee cups hanging on little hooks above your coffee pot.

Pro Tip: Using white, ceramic dinnerware with rustic furniture will make your country farmhouse feel clean and bright.

4) Antique Furniture

All of your furniture doesn’t need to be antique, but mixing vintage statement pieces with modern accessories can create a farmhouse design you’ll love. Consider a reclaimed Chesterfield Sofa with a contemporary coffee table.

5) Cozy Accessories

Cozy home accessories can make your home have that welcoming country charm. Think fuzzy blankets, serene candle holders and vintage vases. Visit your local flea market or antique shops to find the perfect inviting accessories for a farmhouse you’ll love.
