As a realtor specialized in equestrian properties, no decorating trend feels more fitting than a farmhouse aesthetic.
Farmhouse style decor charms its way into our hearts with its rustic warmth, natural textures, and robustness for home living. This design style has a unique way of mixing traditional elements with modern touches and coziness.
Not too barnyard-chic, not too polished.
However, the spectrum for this trend varies widely – some spaces are simple with a grassroots feel and others hold onto their farmhouse charm by one exposed wood beam.
With so many takes on what farmhouse style looks like, you’re going to need some inspiration to help decide what it means to you.
Below, I’ve curated several variations that are sure to help make up your mind before you renovate!
