Farmhouse Lighting and Decor

Decorating with Farmhouse Style

Farmhouse style offers a lived-in, vintage look for your home. It's an easy-going, welcoming style with a relaxed feel, perfect for today's living styles. In part the style was inspired by vintage country-style fixtures with a rustic-industrial look, such as the gooseneck arm barn lights for the wall that are a popular look for outdoor and kitchen areas. Metal and wood finishes on farmhouse style chandeliers, for example, have a natural, distressed, or weathered look. Vintage inspired furniture and accessories also plays a part in the visual appearance of the farmhouse style. Look for elements such as slipcovered sofas, natural textiles and wood finishes, and clear glass forms based on mason jars and other antique style glassware.
