The coziness and ethereal feeling that comes from living in a farmhouse is almost a universal warmth. There is something about decorating your home with a farmhouse touch that makes all of us feel right at home. The heart of the home besides the kitchen is the living room. Which is why we have put together a guide on farmhouse living rooms that will take your breath away.

Fill the room with pattern

*When seeking where to display pattern, always take into consideration your walls. Wallpaper can make a huge impact in the way your pattern is displayed.*

While some might be afraid of pattern, we say go big or go home! That’s the motto when you are deciding on where to go with a farmhouse decorating style. Filling the room with multiple patterns allows you to bring focus to the room in a grandiose type of manner. Consider it one of the best ways of fully putting your character on display. Use similar hues to ensure you have every aspect of the room on display yet with a controlled twist to it.

Go Big on the Coffee Table

*Consider a rounded table when you want to make the biggest impact in a room. The idea is to have a bold piece that stands out from the rest of the room in a bold manner.*

Though most of us think of our coffee table as something that is just there, we sometimes need to pay close attention to it. Adding a grandiose wooden coffee table will make a huge difference in the room. So much so, that we love the idea of decorating around it in order to have it as its main staple of the room. Furthermore, use blond wood as your wood of choice in order to have a classic appeal in the space.

Little fun Corner

*Get a comfortable chair and allow it to become the biggest statement in the corner of your living room.*

Whether your living room is heavy on farmhouse décor or not having an intimate corner that brings a twist of fun is always a good idea. We say this with the thought that sometimes we all need a corner to read or unwind with a drink of choice in hand. Add a fun chair and a table or bench to bring your thoughts back to life. Consider adding frames or pictures behind it for the complete package deal.

Tufted Sofa

The idea of vintage comes into play a whole lot when you are working on giving your home a more farmhouse vibe. When you want a vintage aesthetics without much hassle, the key is adding a tufted sofa. Tufted sofas are great! Not only do they add texture and character, but they make a whole lot of a bold statement without the rigorous and the tedious touch of having to over decorate the room.

Weathered Wood

When it comes to selecting the wood that would work best in a farmhouse space you want to take a close look at weathered wood. Weathered wood appears a bit older but holds so much character its almost inevitable not to fall in love with it. There’s something quite natural and beautiful bout it that makes you want to fall in love with the room all over again.

Layered Rugs

The key when layering rugs is working with rugs that are similar in aesthetics yet different all at once. You want the rug to look and feel apart of the space yet have a hint of something different such as its color or its size.

Why have one rug when you can have two? We love the idea of having layered rugs as part of your farmhouse appeal. Layering rugs create an additional sense of coziness and warmth. There is something about having layered pieces that brightens a room in an overall manner. Consider your layered rug as an accent to the room, instead of just another piece of furniture.

Fireplace Focus

*Having a direct focus on your fireplace allows you to work around it and add or remove decor that might not necessarily work very well with the display you would the room to showcase.*

Most of us will organically place our décor focus on the fireplace naturally. Which is perfect when you’re focusing on bringing a farmhouse feel to your living room. The key is being direct and focusing as many furniture pieces in the direction of your fireplace as possible. The key is allowing the room to have a circular aesthetic while still being modern and easy on the eye.

Lighting, & more Lighting

*If you want a cohesive look, adding two chandeliers that appear the same will help showcase that with little to no need of adding additional pieces.*

Lighting is quintessential to any room, regardless of how you decide to decorate a room. However, when you’re focusing on decorating your living room with a farmhouse feel lighting should be at the very top of your priority. With that being said, you want to focus on soft chandeliers that will bring out the colors of the room. Add two or three chandeliers to truly brighten the room.

Keep it Neutral

*Neutral is one of those palettes that can greatly enhance the room when it is done properly. Add neutral patterns or decorative items to make a bold move in a simple manner.*

Neutrals are excellent for farmhouse appeal, due to how easy they are to work with. Furthermore, most farmhouse rooms feel grander when they offer multiple neutral hues. The keys is working with a neutral palette that brightens the area yet makes the room feel cohesive and put together. Consider adding hints of pastels to brighten the space in an overall manner.

Gingham Pattern

*Regardless of where you might place it, gingham works exceptionally well due to how easy it is to work with while still being simple and easy on the eye.*

Gingham is one of those patterns that feels classic yet is oh so charming. Additionally, the pattern itself works very well in any type of décor style and space. Think of this pattern as a true testament to what a fun, pattern should look and feel like. Pair with a few neutrals to make the room come to life in a farmhouse type of way.
