Benches are common in modern or rustic farmhouse design. They’re also necessary in entryway spaces. Use the bench for sitting on while putting on shoes, and store the family’s shoes in bins or shelves beneath. Add simple cotton cushions for comfort, and spread out a weatherproof rug or doormat. Hang up shelves or baskets for sorting the day’s mail.

5. Kitchen Modern Farmhouse Decor

A modern farmhouse kitchen will be the heart of any home. Kitchen tile is a great material for incorporating different textures and shapes into a neutral color scheme. A chevron or herringbone backsplash in variegated shades of gray works well with a quartz countertop. Floor tile designed to replicate hardwood flooring is a good choice in the farmhouse kitchen.

A farmhouse sink is the signature of this kitchen design style. Wide, rectangular, and usually without a central divider, these spacious sinks are useful and beautiful. Farmhouse kitchen sinks are available in various materials and finishes, including ceramic, porcelain, slate, and copper. Give a nod to traditional barn doors when choosing your cabinetry or pantry doors.

A large central island flanked with metal stools is another signature of modern farmhouse style. Butcher block or another type of wood is ideal for these huge work surfaces, but stainless steel is the best surface for industrial farmhouse kitchens. Metal trays, flower-filled mason jars, and flour-sack towels round out the modern farmhouse kitchen look.
