Statement metal chandelier
A popular focal point for modern farmhouses is a large statement chandelier. Whether you opt for a black wrought iron chandelier or a glittery brass one, we recommend a metal chandelier to add some shine and contrast. Modern farmhouse living rooms tend to be a more rustic and neutral space that can look a bit flat without this bit of flair.
Fireplace & mantel
Another source of illumination and style for a modern farmhouse living room? A fireplace. Due to its subdued and subtle nature, modern farmhouse is an excellent style to showcase architectural features of your living room — from fireplaces to exposed wood beams. The mantel also gives you more room to display decor and accessories like vintage tchotchkes or an oversized contemporary art.
Cozy organic layers
Similar to a modern farmhouse bedroom, an easy way to add soft and cozy comfort is to layer on throw blankets, pillows, drapes, and rugs. To complement the rest of the living room, consider neutral colors and organic textures like linen or wool. If your modern farmhouse living room is lacking visual interest, consider a modern geometric rug or a throw pillow with a nostalgic plaid pattern.
Woven storage accessories
Lastly, if you need a place to store all your blankets, round out your nature-inspired space with a woven rattan or wicker. This earthy storage solution also adds some beautiful texture to your modern farmhouse living room. Or consider adding more cozy and comfortable seating with a multipurpose, storage bench or ottoman that’s designed with a removable lid.
