A repurposed barn door or shiplap wall can add the perfect amount of rustic decor to a space. Cast iron fixtures will also ensure your farmhouse-inspired decor doesn’t get lost in the more modern color scheme. All in all, no detail is too small.

7. Sectional Modern Farmhouse Living Room

The sectional might be a recent invention, but you’d be hard-pressed not to find this piece of furniture in most American homes. Built for friends and family to gather and unwind, sectionals often take up more floor space than any other living room furniture piece.

To incorporate a sectional into your modern farmhouse decor, focus on the overall shape and fabric. Choose neutral colors that suit your room’s overall color scheme. Textured fabrics like suede, leather, and canvas are always a great choice. Rustic throw pillows and blankets will provide the finishing touch.

8. Leather Modern Farmhouse Living Room

Countless folks avoid farmhouse decor for fear of stepping into “shabby chic” territory. But there’s much more to this interior design style than burlap and lace. For example, leather is a timeless textile with authentic ties to the farmhouse aesthetic.

Adding a leather sofa, armchair, or another piece of furniture to your living room can completely transform the space. To really bring out the rustic feel, choose warm brown shades over cream or black. If you want to get really creative with leather in your modern farmhouse living room, look for accent pillows made of black-and-white cowhide.
