The modern farmhouse trend is a truly best-of-both-world design that is equal parts rustic and modern, and has recently become popular due to its versatility and charm.
“Modern farmhouses appeal to those who like the combination of traditional design and unique or unexpected accents.” house and garden Editor Jennifer Ebert explains. “This style can incorporate vintage and antique elements with finishes and accessories commonly found in modern homes, such as metal fixtures and accent colors.”
Natural materials are the basis of modern farmhouse style. Garner's combination of stone walls and painted wood shelving is the perfect example of traditional meets modern.
“In spaces like the kitchen, try using raw wood or stone for furniture like the dining table and floorboards, and add contemporary touches like stainless steel appliances and marble countertops,” Evert says. I would like to suggest.

Color also plays a role. Garner chose a mostly neutral palette with gray stone and white cabinetry, but allows for subtle explosions of color with ceramic and blue glassware on the shelves.
“Modern farmhouse trends include materials like wood, burlap, and stone, so you'll likely be working with neutral colors like brown, white/cream, and gray,” Ebert says. “But accent colors like green, blue, and pink can work wonders to brighten up a space.”
Besides color, texture can also add visual interest to a predominantly neutral, modern farmhouse kitchen.
“Try adding texture to your kitchen with accessories like linen tablecloths and reclaimed wood platters,” suggests Evert.
