What is Modern Farmhouse Decor?
Modern farmhouse decor is the union of classic, country style to the modernity of industrial or contemporary design. There’s a sense of the old and well-used but also a subtle touch of the new and updated. If you’re looking to incorporate this style into your home, think neutral colors, softs textures, and vintage finishes paired with straight, bold lines, geometric patterns, metal furniture, and a sense of simplicity.5 Tips for Stylish Farmhouse Decor
There are a few elements to keep in mind If you’re looking to achieve a traditional, rustic farmhouse decor or modern farmhouse decor. The tips below will work together seamlessly to create that perfect farm decor style seen in interior design magazines and shows without looking staged or overtly obvious.Highlight Natural Wood Colors
Natural wood colors should form the foundation of your home’s interior and furniture. Opt for a softer colored wood, like pine or knotty alder, adding only clear or subtle finishes to show off the beauty of the natural wood grain, just as farmhouses of the past have done. The latter type of wood would make a beautiful and durable choice for floorboards, while pine makes an excellent choice for a dining table and chairs set or a coffee table in a living room or den.Choose Natural Fibers and Materials
While sliding shutters can add a more interesting look to your windows, there is definitely a place for curtains and other fabrics and linens in the modern farmhouse.Take Advantage of Natural Light
In early farmhouses, large windows and doors were one of the only daytime sources for air and light. They enabled lots of air flow and brightened up the home.Use Neutral Colors
Neutrals like beige, ivory, taupe, black, gray, and white reflect not only the natural colors of farmhouse style, but also modern design. These neutrals can be used as wall color or in the fabric of rustic or modern farmhouse furniture, like couches and chairs. You can also carry these neutral colors throughout your traditional or modern country decor, like wooden farmhouse frames, a pillar candle holder, or wall decor, such as a hanging mason jar or potted plant.Look for Vintage Furniture
Vintage furniture has many meanings. Many choose to search for legitimate antiques or used furniture to achieve that classic vintage farmhouse look. But you can also purchase new, modern furniture that has been distressed to appear antique.3 Benefits of Farmhouse Doors

Farmhouse Door Color and Hardware
Now that you’ve decided on the farmhouse door or doors that’ll fit right in with your home’s design, it’s time to think about finish and hardware. Both elements can completely transform the look of the door and help you pull in other styling details.
Rustica offers an array of finishes for many of its farmhouse doors, allowing you to get that farmhouse exterior or interior look wherever you decide to mount your door. From a bright white paint color to dark stains, our finishes run the gamut of clean-cut to rustic.
If you’re really going for a more rustic look to match your traditional farmhouse decor, we recommend choosing a finish that compliments your style. Try painted barn wood, jacobean, stripped white, or barn grey. For a more modern barn door and style, go with matte black, simply white, trout gray, or light sage.
We also have fun pops of color to experiment with, like whipporwill, navy blue, and barn red, any of which could make for an eye-catching farmhouse exterior door to add curb appeal to your home’s exterior.
Your barn door hardware is another important aspect to consider when choosing the details of your door. First, consider whether your farmhouse door will be an interior door or exterior door. The hardware can be the same for either, but the way you’ll use your door may help you decide what kind of hardware is best.
Exterior and interior barn doors typically use a flat track, box track, top mount, or no show hardware system. If you’d like your hardware to show, a flat track or top mount system is best. If you’d rather the door do all the talking, opt for a box track or no show system.
Our barn door hardware is available in several colors, styles, and designs to help you add to the overall look of your door. We offer copper, chrome, and brass finishes for a stand-out look, or you can opt for a more traditional farmhouse feel with a smooth black finish.
Finally, you’ll need to choose farmhouse doorknobs and, if necessary, a lock system for your door. Your farmhouse doorknobs are actually handles that replicate the look of real barn doors. Again, they are available in different styles, like tribal and craftsman, and finishes, like copper and steel, to match the track system and overall look you’re going for.
A lock mechanism is great for exterior doors and privacy doors, like those for a master bedroom. Our locks range from simple hook and eye latches to a full privacy lock.
