Modern Farmhouse Tips

Modern Farmhouse Christmas Ideas

In this post, you will receive some modern farmhouse-style tips. You will see different modern farmhouse Christmas ideas as well. I styled this Newmarket, Ontario home in different ways. Since it was so close to Christmas, I kept the homeowner’s Christmas decorations on her fireplace. This first photo shows how this family room looks when it has a neutral colour scheme.

Neutral Farmhouse Christmas

The furniture for the family room and dining room in this project by Lynteriors arrived in late November. So it made sense to play up the Christmas theme when the photos were taken. Here is the modern farmhouse family room decked out for Christmas. This photo shows the neutral colour scheme, which forms the basis of the modern farmhouse style. White and beige are considered neutral colours. The various browns on the wood furniture are considered neutral colours too.

Another element of the modern farmhouse style is to mix eras or styles. There is a mix of vintage wooden tables and contemporary items in the family room. The contemporary pieces include the table lamp and the streamlined oatmeal loveseat.

We chose the beige-coloured love seat to coordinate with the fabric on the dining room chairs. See the dining room photo below. The silver and white items in both rooms tie these adjacent rooms together further. I chose the silver bowl and the silver table lamp for the family room for this reason. These family room accessories coordinate with the silver ceiling fixture pictured in the dining room below.

Use Similar Fabric Colours to Tie Adjacent Rooms Together

Materials To Use:

A Stone Fireplace: Another Important Modern Farmhouse Element

Organic and natural materials such as stone and wood are the foundation of the modern farmhouse style. For example, a stone fireplace such as the one pictured below is an example of a natural material you can use in a farmhouse-style family room. The love seat fabric colour picks up the colour of the fireplace surround. Furthermore, the white and silver Christmas decor dressed up the mantle and coordinated with the white and silver table accessories.

Vibrant Red Farmhouse Style

During the photoshoot, I photographed a red colour scheme idea as well. Adding a vibrant monochromatic colour scheme to a modern farmhouse is sometimes used too in this style. The contemporary red-in-the-wall art is echoed in the throw on the loveseat and the red-painted console by the loveseat.

Red and white is a popular Christmas colour combination too. So with that in mind, we proceeded to decorate the tabletops around the loveseat with a Christmas theme.

Red and White Modern Farmhouse Christmas

The family room is often the room your family will gather to celebrate Christmas, and in this room, you will welcome your guests. As a result, decorating this room is important. The homeowner chose the angel accent piece to decorate the end table and a white house accessory piece to decorate the coffee table. I took pictures of this look too.

I planned to style the family room and take photos only. In the end, we did that and more. We had fun decking the room with Christmas decorations as well. If you want to learn more about the Modern Farmhouse style go to, https://wordpress.com/post/lynteriors.wordpress.com/1493
