Farmhouse Design FAQ

What is Farmhouse interior design?

Farmhouse interior design is a cozy, practical style inspired by country homes. It uses white walls, warm wood, vintage finds and simple, sturdy furniture that feels lived in.

How do I make my living room Farmhouse?

Start with white or cream walls, or add shiplap to one wall. Choose a comfortable linen or slipcovered sofa and a wood coffee table with some wear. Add black iron lighting, woven baskets and one or two vintage accents.

Is Farmhouse the same as Rustic?

They overlap but differ in tone. Farmhouse is lighter and cleaner, with white walls and painted wood. Rustic is darker and more raw, with heavy wood, stone and a cabin feel.
