Farmhouse décor is a popular style that has grown dated with the typical overly rustic designs. However, the home aesthetic is taking modern turns for 2025.
Instead of the traditional shiplap walls, plain colors and decorative pieces, farmhouse décor is now leaning toward more warm and thoughtful pieces that combine sophistication and functionality.
Here’s how you can give the farmhouse style a fresh and contemporary update in a unique way while still adhering to the aesthetic.
Opt for natural materials that are high-quality and refined like reclaimed wood, polished stone and organic textiles instead of overly worn or rustic finishes.
Linen curtains and a soft jute rug pair well with these textures as they also provide a smoother look.
Typical farmhouse decorations include signs with sayings like “farm fresh,” “home” or “gather,” which can feel pretty cheesy and on the nose.
Instead, incorporate unique decorative pieces that subtly nod to the aesthetic like vintage-inspired ceramic vases or handwoven baskets.
Bring more life to your farmhouse décor color palette while still staying on theme with warm earth tones instead of the typical whites and greys. Opt for soft terracottas, muted greens and creamy beiges.
Combine these warm earth tones with black hardware and/or fixtures for a modern accent.
One of the biggest ways you can update your farmhouse décor is by switching up the lighting. Instead of the typical mason jar pendants, try oversized metal pendants or a large, but minimalist chandelier.
Practicality is a part of the farmhouse aesthetic you should enhance instead of eliminate in 2025. Look for matching pieces that fit the theme with purpose.
Do this with built-in storage benches, woven baskets for blankets/pillows and decorative ladders for towels or blankets.
Overall, the best way to update your farmhouse décor in 2025 by making it uniquely suit you with intentional pieces, higher-quality materials, modern finishes and a warmer color palette.
