To keep your living room from feeling washed out, choose dark, rich brown tones over more muted shades. Avoid using too much brown without breaking it up with a contrasting color (white works extremely well).

By getting brown accents from organic materials rather than fabric or paint, you’ll also be adding plenty of interesting texture to your living space.

5. Black Modern Farmhouse Living Room

There’s no better way to add clean lines to your living room idea than with contrasting colors. In the case of modern farmhouse design, black is the shade of choice.

Painting a matte black accent wall can add impact to an otherwise all-white room. If you want to add even more depth, consider mounting wood planks to your accent wall before painting. If you choose to keep your walls entirely white, black furniture and fixtures will create beautiful contrast.

Using black in your modern farmhouse decor is also a great way to blend in large appliances like TVs. If your space has other black elements, your flatscreen TV is less likely to stick out like a sore thumb.

6. Grey Modern Farmhouse Living Room

To bring out the modern side of your living room, try using a grey color palette. Even when combined with traditional farmhouse decor, these shades anchor the entire space in contemporary style.

When leaning more modern with your color palette, look to other areas of your living room to bring in some farmhouse design charm. For example, vaulted ceilings and wooden beams go hand-in-hand with the farmhouse aesthetic.
