The Essence of Farmhouse Chic

Farmhouse chic builds on the foundation of farmhouse style and draws it into the modern day through its blending of the old and the new. This style scoffs at traditional aesthetics where appearance is more important than functionality; this style, while beautiful in its own right, strives to find the balance between daily functionality and a beautiful yet lived-in space. Overall, the essence of farmhouse chic style is simplicity, warmth, and comfort.

Historical Roots and Evolution

Farmhouse style has obviously existed for hundreds of years, but it has been transformed numerous times to suit different eras. Consider styles like modern farmhouse, country farmhouse, and industrial farmhouse. Each of these styles take on attributes from other popular styles, but within that, each one strives to highlight simpler times and homey comfort. Farmhouse chic in particular takes inspiration from rural architecture, worn finishes, and the general feeling of “home.” While the style is known for creating a “lived-in” aesthetic, it also has an air of class to it with more elegant finishes and detailed furniture and art.

Key Elements of Farmhouse Chic Decor

Like the original farmhouse style, farmhouse chic furniture and decor tend to highlight natural woods. However, farmhouse chic style tends not to use chipped paint on any of the wood pieces. There may be some distressing, but in general, the pieces are more polished to suit a cleaner modern aesthetic. Along with that, farmhouse chic tends to feature neutral color palettes and modern accents in the artwork, furniture, and any other miscellaneous accents. This style also capitalizes on vintage finds as it strives to blend the old with the new in any ways possible.

Color Schemes and Materials

In general, farmhouse chic style tends to use soft, muted tones. Whites, beiges, and creams are particularly common, since they are warm colors that make the home feel more comfortable and welcoming. Warm textiles and fabrics are all essential in creating the cozy vibes that farmhouse chic style strives for. In addition to those facets, this style also loves things that look well loved but not dirty like reclaimed wood or galvanized metal.

Furniture and Layout

Farmhouse chic style is all about comfort. Because of that, you’ll often see fluffy, oversized sofas and chairs that may envelope whoever sits in them. While some refined versions of the style will use matching furniture from the same set, others will mix and match different seats to create that “gathered” look, which is sometimes more organic than a perfectly matched set. Other decor can also feel piecemealed and not perfectly matched to further cement the room’s style. These pieces like side tables, coffee tables, hutches, and shelves tend to be more rustic or vintage in nature.

Incorporating Natural Elements

Farmhouse chic strikes a careful balance between new and old in the furniture and decor. That exact balance varies though depending on whether you personally lean more vintage or modern. If you enjoy the vintage side more, you may include antiques in the room’s key furniture, decor, and knick-knacks. However, if you lean into the modern side of the style, you may have smaller vintage accents or just one antique piece of furniture. There is nothing wrong with either approach, but each does convey a different tone and level of refinement. Ultimately, you must decide what conveys your ideal tone and style.

Textiles and Decor Accessories

There are two main reasons why textiles and decor are important parts of farmhouse chic style: one is to add visual interest to an otherwise plain color palette, and the other is to convey the warmth and comfort of the style. Plush fabrics, blankets, pillows, and rugs definitely provide that extra comfort, but they can also expand the room’s color palette to introduce a new accent. Aside from textiles, farmhouse chic often incorporates woven baskets and farmhouse-inspired art to draw their guests back to simpler times and simple living.

The Role of Outdoor Spaces

Farmhouse chic style doesn’t just apply to indoor spaces; in fact, it’s easy to argue that the outdoor spaces are just as important as the inside of the home. On farmhouse chic patios and porches, you’ll often find abundant seating for socializing and settling down on nice days. Gardens will also feature aspects of farmhouse style through vintage benches, flowers, and other outdoor decor that you may have salvaged.


Farmhouse chic style may not be as old as other historic styles, but it does gather much of its inspiration from traditional farmhouse aesthetics and lifestyles. When it comes to farmhouse chic style, the use of warm color tones, comfortable fabrics, and vintage furniture helps make your space feel “lived in” and authentic. Because of that, farmhouse chic homes are known for feeling extremely cozy and welcoming. If this sounds ideal to you, then farmhouse chic style may be the best fit for you and your family.
