Modern Farmhouse Style

The modern farmhouse is both classic and contemporary at the same time and offers a perfect blend of traditional style and modern sensibility. It is traditional with a modern twist. Modern farmhouse interior design gives a strong nod to country elements too. It is warm and inviting and makes old seem new again.

Modern Farmhouse Dining Room

Elements of Modern Farm House Style

Mixing Styles and Eras

As eluded to above, modern farmhouse marries modern and classic elements for a character-rich mix. For example, I mixed the classic English country-style pedestal table in this Newmarket, Ontario dining area with the trendy geometric abstract wall art. This can be seen in the photo of the room above.

Modern farmhouse in an eat-in kitchen or dining room like the one pictured above lifts these spaces from their fussy formal past and transforms them into contemporary comfort. For example, the dining chairs in the photo above feature the beauty of a classicly elegant tub shape, but it has evolved from their Victorian roots. These chairs have a higher back than their Victorian ancestor. The higher back gives a lot of back support and makes it very comfortable. The removal of all that Victorian ornamentation gives it clean lines, thus a contemporary look. This ever-popular tub-shaped dining chair has sabre curved legs that have clean lines.

The dining room has become an important space for homeowners keen to add an element of refinement to their eating arrangements. The Modern farmhouse style helps to do just that.

Use Various Accessory Styles

Layer in accessories too. Mix classic turned glass candlesticks and a traditional glass hurricane vase with modern abstract wall art to mix old and new. Create a modern farmhouse look with modern materials such as glass and items that have traditional shapes. The glass candlesticks in the photo above are an updated take on a classic turned candlestick design. The updated material is glass instead of metal. The glass hurricane vase is also an updated take on a classic hurricane design. It is because they are manufactured using glass too. They both make great dining room centrepieces.

These updated classic tabletop accessories and contemporary touches help to create the modern farmhouse style. Furthermore, the candlesticks dress up the look. They help to add a glamourous, elegant dressed-up feel to the dining room. These change the breakfast room into a sophisticated dining room. Accessories help dress up or dress down the modern farmhouse look.

Monochromatic and Neutral Colour Schemes

As seen above, the style of the furniture helps to create the modern farmhouse look. Another design element needed to create the modern farmhouse style is a monochromatic colour scheme. Start with a color palette of warm or cool neutrals (cream, beige, silver, and gray all work well), and then layer in some natural wood tones. A neutral wall paint adds to the modern farmhouse aesthetic. 

For example, in the photo above, the walls are a warm neutral taupe. The table and chairs have a warm creamy white finish that coordinates with the kitchen cabinets. The oatmeal beige fabric on the chairs picks up the beige on the kitchen counter and backsplash. It also picks up the gray/beige wall paint colour.

Natural wood tones have been added to this breakfast room. Natural wooden floors are the bedrock of this aesthetic and are found in this room. The stained wood table top echoes the flooring stain. In the dining room featured in this post, a neutral colour scheme is used.

Make it Plush with Upholstery

The upholstered tub chairs in the above dining room bring the decor to life. They also contour the body for added comfort. It is a classic, sophisticated and elegant style chair for traditional and contemporary interiors.


The tub chair can be formal or informal, depending on the table chosen. It can look formal/informal depending on the table accessories and fabric that are chosen too. The tub chair comes in a wide variety of patterns, styles, and fabrics.

The simplest scheme can be transformed with the addition of a pattern via the fabric. The homeowner chose a lovely floral pattern for her chair backs. The chair seats have plain solid oatmeal-coloured linen-like textured fabric, and the chair backing has a classic floral print giving the chairs a two-toned look and depth. The neutral colour scheme on the floral fabric modernizes the look, and the patterned fabric adds interest to the neutral colour scheme.

Add Textures

Since the modern farmhouse style is made up of neutral colors, you’ll need a mix of textures to keep the space from looking flat. For example, contrasting tabletop textures are important when capturing the modern farmhouse aesthetic. In the dining room above, a runner with a canvas-like texture adds to the farmhouse feel. When it comes to your comfy furniture, use a variety of fabrics like cotton, canvas, linen, and faux fur. The linen-like fabric on the chair seat also adds to the farmhouse feel.


The modern geometric abstract wall art has geometric shapes that have various levels of depth. This gives added depth, therefore, texture to the overall decor.


A mix of subtle textures is what completes the modern farmhouse feel without getting too busy. Multiple wood finishes also add texture to farmhouse-styled spaces. Painted wood is one of the wood finishes seen on farmhouse furniture. There are painted and stained wood finishes on these dining room pieces of furniture. They add texture too.

the photo was taken by Lynn Asbury

Simple Clean Lines

Incorporating the elements of the modern farmhouse look usually consists of using clean lines. Traditional homes would need to remove strong patterns. They would need to avoid ornamentation on accessories and furniture that are too detailed to make things look cleaner and understated.

For example, the chair frame and legs in the above dining room have no ornamentation and are clean-lined. The ceiling fixture and wall art both have geometric-shaped clean lines too.

Lighting

The dining room pendant in the above photo combines a small classic crystal chandelier fixture with a modern drum shade. It marries the modern drum form with the classic crystal chandelier. The glamour of the crystals adds sparkle and drama. They add to the glass theme that is seen on the dining room table centrepieces.

Also, the modern style geometric perforations on the drum shade of the pendant also echo the modern geometric wall art on the wall. They both have rectangular shapes.

Furthermore, the silver drum shade and crystal chandelier portions of the pendant blend very well with the neutral colour palette in the room.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this modern English farmhouse dining room style blends modern and classic furniture, accessories, and lighting. The design elements that complete the look include using a neutral colour scheme. Subtle textures, another element, are seen in the wall art, woven canvas, and linen fabric. Plus, the wood grains on the flooring and tabletop add another layer to the look.

Plush upholstery creates comfortable furniture. Simple, clean lines on the furnishings add to the style too. This particular dining room has a bit of glamour added to it. Therefore it falls into the modern flam farmhouse category. This is a subcategory of modern farmhouse.

5 Home Staging Tips

Is It Good to Rent Furniture for Home Staging?

Tip #1: If the Room has No Furniture or the Furniture is Worn, Consider Renting Furniture

Home staging is all about restyling a home to sell quickly and for more money, whether you are in a slow market or a hot real estate market. Home staging is arranging furniture or renting furniture and decor accessories to showcase a home for sale. If you are selling your home, you want to help buyers picture themselves living in it. Home staging is one of the best ways to do that, helping to make your place stand out in online searches, shine during open houses and secure competitive offers sooner. Here are some tips to help you play up your home’s assets and downplay its faults.

In this Aurora, Ontario living room, the furniture was rented except for the bookcase and sheers. The original furniture was scratched and old, so I rented contemporary furniture in a warm-off white colour. Rental furniture also allows you to rent updated furniture that will appeal to more buyers. Since it appeals to more buyers, more buyers will fall in love with the home and want to buy it.

Tip # 2 The Living Room is the Most Important Room to Stage

This Aurora, Ontario home was staged in July, 2021 and sold 5 days later! It received multiple offers and sold over asking. Home staging and using rental furniture worked! Which rooms are the most important to stage, though? According to the NAR (National Association of Realtors:

“Staging the living room was found to be most important for

buyers (46 percent), followed by staging the master

bedroom (43 percent).

NAR Report of 2021

Renting furniture for the living room is, therefore, a good investment. It is often the first room that potential buyers view. So making a good first impression by renting furniture for the living room and home staging the living room is important.

Tip #3 Declutter and Remove Heavy Drapes And Non White Sheers

As these before and after photos above show, home staging changed the appearance of the living room. Certain items in the room were removed. These items included: the heavy drapes, end tables, and decor on them. The white sheers were left. If your room has white sheers, they are ok. But heavy drapes and coloured drapes need to be removed. 

Tip #4 Paint Walls a Neutral Colour Like White

The living room had orange walls with a feature wall painted in orange and white stripes. The first two photos below show how the orange walls looked like. I suggested that the walls of the living room be painted all white. It was painted white with a red undertone. The white paint lightens and brightens the room further. The following photos show the before areas of the living room. The third photo is the after photo of the living room. 

Many buyers coming to look at your property may not appreciate the wall colour. Most buyers prefer neutral painted walls because it means they do not need to paint a room colour they do not like when they move in. As a result, more buyers will be interested in a house with a living room painted a neutral colour such as white, gray, or beige. If possible, all rooms though should be painted with a neutral colour.

Notice that most of the books on the bookshelf were removed except books that were predominately white. The bookshelf was also moved so that a sofa could be placed in the spot instead. Learn more about bookcase home staging by clicking on the following link. https://lynteriors.wordpress.com/2021/03/24/how-to-decorate-a-home-office-part-2-bookcase-decorating-tips-included/

Buyers want to picture themselves relaxing or entertaining in the home’s living room. Therefore, place the sofa in the room in view of the entranceway. The buyer can see it as a focal point when they view the room. Now they will imagine themselves relaxing and entertaining in the living room and begin falling in love with the house.

Tip # 5 Layer in Warm Accessories

Add some accent pillows to the sofa, and toss a throw over the corner of the chair for some extra luxury and comfort. These additions are small but have a subconscious effect on buyers that make them feel more at ease in a space.

Add greenery

Bring life and energy to the room with faux plants. On the bookcase, there is a small faux plant on a stand on the bookcase shelf in this living room, for example. Planters and flowers make your room look more inviting too.

Create vignettes using the rule of three

A vignette is a group of eye-catching objects that set the tone for a room. On the end table, the chrome table lamp with glass orbs, the white journal, and the wood orb make up a vignette in the staged living room above. Groupings of one or three are the most pleasing to the eye.

Does Home Staging Work?

Statistics Proving Home Staging Works

A home stager needs to assess what kind of vision the buyer will want to see when they walk through that door. It’s all about creating that lifestyle vision that the specific buyer for that home desires! The good news is that according to the 2021 home staging statistics collected by NAR, home stagers are creating that vision for buyers. The National Association of Realtors Research Group or NAR put out a “Profile of Home Staging Report.” They survey thousands of real estate agents on the benefits of home staging. 

“Eighty-two percent of buyers’ agents said staging a home

made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a

future home.”

NAR

Help Selling My Home

According to this same 2021 NAR report, 44% of the buyer’s agents said that staging increased the dollar value offered by 1 to 15%. Staging your home to sell is proven to increase your sale price up to 15%, so it’s worth your time to evaluate your house room-by-room and decide what changes to make.

Learn 4 Helpful Benefits of 3D Models of Your Room Interior Here

It is easier to see the potential of an unfinished room when room drawings get closer to reality. 3D modeling is like pulling out the multi-dimensional images from your brain and painting them on a paper to see how it looks. In other words, computer technology ferries your imagination closer to reality. Interior design drawings using computer aided design programs such as Sketchup are beneficial in other ways as well.

Benefit #1: Perspective Drawings Saves You Money and Frustration

What you want in the room can be drawn on computer-aided design software such as Sketchup by an interior designer such as myself and then presented to you. 3D perspective drawings help you to see how the room will look after the furniture is in it. If the furniture won’t fit, for example, because it is too big, it will become quickly apparent in Sketchup. These drawings will save you money and frustration. Who wants to figure out what to do with a new piece of furniture that won’t fit into a room.

The Project:

The following project by Lynteriors will reveal three other benefits of perspective drawings. In this project, the owners want to create a guest suite in an unfinished room above the garage. It is a lake home in Muskoka, Ontario. The room is a lovely huge space with a cathedral ceiling. It also has a gorgeous arched window. There are dormer windows as well. They capture a glimpse of the lake. Below is a photo of the unfinished room. It shows the arched window with a view of trees. The arched window is the focal point of the room.

Uses of the Guest Suite: Solution #1

The retired husband and wife want a small kitchenette in the guest suite. They want a sitting room too. Since it is above the garage, it is an attic with sloping beams that create a sloping roof and ceiling. In some places, the ceiling is low. In other areas, the walls are not very high.

The owners would like to make a guest bedroom for a family of four. The boys are teenagers, so they want separate beds. They hoped a double bunk with a top twin bed would give room for the parents. The twin bed on top would provide a bed for one of the teenage boys.

The problem is all the walls that are high enough for a bunk bed have doors or windows. The wall, which isn’t shown in the 3D models, has a door leading to a bathroom. As a result, it cannot have a double bed against that wall. There is no other wall the bunk bed can be against.


Another solution is to place the bunk bed in the middle of the room. Another reason to have it there is to create a corridor. A corridor is needed for space planning reasons. The corridor eases traffic flow to the kitchenette from the main door. Unfortunately, because of the size of the double bunk bed and the sloped walls, tall people may hit their heads as they walk around the double bunk bed.

Benefit #2: Will Reveal Anything that Blocks a Feature such as a Focal Point

Sadly, the view from the entrance door is obscured by the bunk bed. This 3D rendering below shows how the bunk bed with a ladder obscures the window. The arched window is the focal point of the room. As a result, obscuring the view of it would not be ideal.
It would be frustrating to find this out after you bought the bunk bed. You can choose not to buy the bed even before you finish the room if you do not want to compromise the view of the lovely window. As this example illustrates, a perspective drawing can save you a lot of future frustration.

Solution #2

An alternative solution would involve a double bed, twin bed, and roll-away folding twin bed. Fortunately, it does not compromise the view of the arched window from the entrance door. A roll-away bed may not be as convenient, though. It would need to be stored in an adjacent storage area when not in use. The next photo shows this other solution.

Benefit #3: Will Help You See Awkward Wall and Ceiling Heights

The above photo shows that the arched window is seen clearly from the entranceway. This perspective drawing also shows the sloped walls and ceiling. This perspective drawing has the same furniture or furniture sizes. The only difference is the bunk bed is replaced by the double bed. In this drawing, you can see that the bunk bed will not fit against the walls because the walls are not tall enough.

Benefit #4: Easier to Visualize the Space

When people see a project presented in a lifelike 3D format, rather than in a line drawing, they can more easily visualize what the end results will be like, and whether they’ll be happy, or want to make alterations. What would you prefer to see. A furniture plan or the perspective drawing.

Would you rather see this…

Furnit

This 2 line drawing of the guest suite is the furniture plan. Notice how it does not show you the sloping ceiling or the walls that are not very tall. Also many people cannot envision the finished room when they see a furniture plan like this.

Or This?

Some people know exactly what they want when they remodel, but the majority of people are less certain until they actually see their concept in a tangible form. With 3D rendering, multiple designs can be previewed for the same space, helping to ensure that the final decision is the right one. For example, in this blog I showed you two designs. My clients can decide which of the two designs would be better for them.

Many changes to the plans can be done in real-time, allowing a streamlined design process so the project can proceed more quickly, smoothly and efficiently.

There are many distinct advantages to involving a CAD professional early on in any construction project to create more realistic 3D renderings. In most cases, the total cost for a quality set of renderings is just a small percentage of the total project cost. In the end, this additional advance planning can amount to significant savings money wise and prevent frustration down the road. This is especially true for a space with awkward ceilings and walls.

What is the “Process of Decorating” at Lynteriors Anyway?

Window Treatment Design by Lynteriors

One of my customers stated, ” I have not hired a decorator before, so I am not sure how it all works? Well, here at Lynteriors, I would like to help you create your dream home within your budget. However, there is a process that is carried out. A process that helps you create and decorate your dream rooms. It often involves consultations and meetings.

Meeting 1– Consultation

The initial customer consultation is carried out in the comfort of your home or via virtual consultation. It is to get to know each other and for me to get to know your dream for each room. For example what colours and style you want for the room/s.

It is also to find out what your scope of service is. For example, would you want only validation for your dream room ideas but execute the project by yourself. Or perhaps you would like a decorator to help you develop a concept or design based on your dreams and have the decorator execute the project to completion. Or would you prefer some other interior decorating service? I would love help you in any of the above ways. This is called the “scope of the project” and in order to help you, I need to know what it is. The scope of service also includes how many rooms you would like decorated too. The rooms are measured during this meeting sometimes as well. For example, the rooms are measured now if there is a desire to get the project done quickly.

Meeting 2

The next meeting is to discuss if you want or need a concept design for the room/s. Lynteriors creates drawings and a mood board if the project is a remodeling project for example.

Lynteriors will create drawings of how the room/s will look. These CAD drawings are based on what was discussed earlier. The design concept would include the Sketchup design and furniture, fabrics, flooring, paint chips, and lighting, etc., which make up the design. Lynteriors uses Sketchup, which is CAD or a computer-aided design program. I may provide manual drawings as well, such as floor plans.

The meeting includes a discussion about if you want Lynteriors to project manage your project as well. A contract is drawn up too.

Execution Phase

Lynteriors will purchase materials and furnishings if the design proposal captures the dream you have for your room or rooms. The process moves into the execution phase. The above decorating items would be installed or delivered and set up in the space. The dream room or rooms have become a reality! Go to the services page for more information or press the following link- https://lynteriors.wordpress.com/services

Lynteriors is based in Aurora, Ontario and would love to help homeowners in the surrounding areas such as Bradford, Newmarket, Richmond Hill, and Toronto create their dream homes.

Lynteriors offers virtual consultations and digital design too for those who do not live in this vicinity. I provide this locally too during Covid-19 restrictions. Phone 416-721-6217 to book a consultation or a discovery call.

Kitchen Remodeling Ideas

Photo of Eleanor’s kitchen-Taken by Eleanor

Kitchen Renovating Ideas

Your kitchen is one of the most important rooms in your home. It is where you spend a significant amount of time with your family. Chances are you’ve spent more time than usual in your kitchen this year, thanks to the pandemic. Furthermore, a kitchen is important for resale reasons. A buyer falls in love with a home and puts an offer on it partly because of the kitchen.

The counter top has always been a big part of kitchen décor. Countertops set the tone for the kitchen, so choose materials and a look that reflects your style. Also, choose a material that is in line with how you want to use the kitchen. Do you want low-maintenance counters, for example? Certain countertops are more attractive to buyers too. If you are moving within 5 to 7 years that is something to consider as well.

My Customer’s Problem and Desires: A Case Study

One of my clients, Eleanor, who lives in Orillia, Ontario, wanted to replace her worn-out kitchen counters. She contacted me and we organized a consultation. Although I am an interior decorator in Aurora, Ontario, I do virtual consultations anywhere, including Orillia. Go to the “Services ” page for more details.

  • During the consultation, Eleanor said she wanted an easy-to-clean and easy-to-maintain surface.
  • She wanted to lighten and brighten her kitchen as well.
  • She knew I was also a Home Stager too, so she asked me to find a material that boosts resale values of homes. They may be moving in the near future, so for them, this was something to consider.
Before photo of kitchen taken by Eleanor

Kitchen Countertop Materials

There are many kitchen countertop design ideas out there and materials to choose from. Eleanor and her husband liked that laminate was easy to clean, so they were considering replacing their light brown laminate countertop with another light brown laminate countertop from the local hardware store. The photo above showed the before photo. The problem is that most buyers do not want laminate countertops, so laminate countertops do not help sell homes. I steered them towards quartz countertops because of the following reasons.

Benefits of Quartz Countertops

Benefit #1: It is Easy to Clean and Does Not Spot or Stain

Quartz countertops are composed of plastic resin and ground quartz. It is a manufactured countertop material. Granite and marble are porous, so both need to go through regular re-sealing. Quartz, on the other hand, is non-porous and does not have to go through regular re-sealing.

Since it is non-porous, it is also highly resistant against staining and is one of the most hygienic countertop options for homeowners. Unfortunately, both marble and granite can stain.


Marble can also etch or spot. Quartz does not stain or etch or spot. Furthermore, it needs only soap and water to clean it. As a result, this low-maintenance material is not going anywhere soon as the countertop material of choice for many homeowners. It was also the perfect easy to clean countertop material for Eleanor.

Benefit #2: Comes in Many Patterns and Colours

Quartz now comes in many colors, patterns, and finishing techniques that mimic the look of natural stone. Quartz can be modified to resemble granite and marble while being relatively cheap at the same time. You can see why quartz that mimics marble is popular. It has the beautiful pattern and veining of marble. It looks and feels like marble, but it does not etch or spot.


Marble suits both modern and traditional style kitchens. Eleanor’s kitchen had a traditional feel, so it worked well in her kitchen. It comes in a warm white or cool white look that resembles marble. Eleanor’s kitchen was dark. The white quartz with a subtle grey marble-like veining lightened and brightened Eleanor’s kitchen. You can lighten and brighten your kitchen by choosing white-colored materials, such as countertops in your kitchen too.

Benefit #3: Quartz with Veining Gets Popular-Hello Realistic Veining

The most prominent kitchen countertop trends for 2021 include quartz counters resembling marble. The grey, white, and other lighter-colored variants have been trendy. If you think you may be moving in the next 5 years or so, then quartz that resembles marble is what you should consider. It will help to boost the resale value of Eleanor’s home and your home. The veining gives it that luxurious wow look! Furthermore, it is hard to tell if quartz that resembles marble is marble or not. It looks so realistic.

Marble and the quartz look-alike come in white or warm white with beige or gray veining. It comes in a beige with warm undertones and white patterning too.

Solution:

Eleanor chose white quartz that mimics white marble with grey veining. It coordinated with her back splash and floor tile. If you like the white marble look but not the marble upkeep requirements, quartz may be for you too. As the after photo above shows, the white quartz lightened and brightened her kitchen too. It is easy to clean and maintain and is one of the countertops buyers are looking for. It solved their problem and met all their needs and desires. Marble is also an elegant and beautiful stone. Their counter has the beauty of marble but, unlike marble, it is easy to maintain because it is quartz. The best of both worlds!

Testimonial:

After she got her countertop installed, Eleanor emailed me. Eleanor sent me one email saying she was grateful that I steered her towards choosing a quartz countertop.


In another email, she stated, “I am super thrilled and so appreciate your professional advice and expertise and good taste as your part in achieving this final result.” She also said she hoped I would help others receive the same fantastic results.

-Eleanor

A happy customer makes me happy! You may have different problems you need solving in your kitchen. You may have different needs and desires that you have or want in your kitchen. I can help you like I helped Eleanor receive as she put it “fantastic results!” Lynteriors can provide advice to help you find the right countertop etc., for you too.

Summary:

With staying in, being the new going out, we’ve all logged way more time than usual in our home kitchens. A kitchen is not just about beauty and aesthetics. It is about materials that are easy to clean and maintain. While it is important to have a tastefully designed kitchen, it is even more important to have one that can withstand the work-heavy aspects of your kitchen. Kitchen counters especially need to be durable and easy to clean. Quartz that resembles marble has the same look and feel like marble. But, it is easier to clean and is more durable.

Lynteriors provides full-service decorating as well as virtual consultations for DIYers and other services that fit every budget. See more on the services page.
