But how do you create a look that is classic, yet modern? We’ve helped many happy clients with their Prescott home remodeld. We can ensure your project achieves a modern farmhouse style instead of becoming a farmhouse flop.
But can you achieve a modern farmhouse look
First up, practicality is the cornerstone of the farmhouse look. Ensure you have enough space for storage and create a look that works with the natural light in your spaces. We’ve created countless Prescott home remodeling projects where the existing design of our client’s home wasn’t making adequate use of the natural light. Farmhouse design is all about bright, airy, open kitchens and cupboards, and a neutral color palette. Your look should aim to reflect this in your farmhouse plans.
Avocado greens and buttermilk yellow paint colors can take your modern home back a couple of centuries! Instead, opt for a range of whites. If you want to add a little more color, add earthy shades like tans, browns or shades of gray. Choose crisp colors which have a more antique or vintage feel. Shiplap has a classic look and works well for walls painted in light colors. It adds an added layer of texture to your rooms, as well as offering protection to walls in high-traffic areas like hallways or bathrooms.
When it comes to modern farmhouse decor, farmhouse style relies heavily on wood tones and textures with white fabrics. But to avoid looking like you’ve stepped back in time, balance this look with more contemporary items. Add sleek textures like velvet pieces in brighter colors, layer plush cushions, or add cushioned bar stools. Marble kitchen tops or tables are all perfect for a rustic farmhouse. You may also add industrial-feel items like iron light fixtures, metal kitchen bar stools for more contemporary farmhouse plans.
