Natural Textures

Farmhouses are intrinsically tied to a remote location and are abound with organic elements with delicate aged characteristics, so what better scheme than a rustic chic to decorate the calm surroundings? You could use bare natural stones to enhance the rural setting for the exterior facades. It will help to achieve contextuality in design.

Vintage Furniture

The use of vintage furniture is a more sustainable decor approach. You do not need to throw away your old furniture because this is where it can come handy. Instead, you can repaint the pieces with shades that emphasize the retro style. Besides, you can customize furniture if you do not have old pieces. Timber palettes for chairs and beds would be a perfect option. Plain timber in its natural form or with chalk furniture paint is an immense beauty on its own. It is even more cost-effective to get timber pallets than the complete sets of sofa seats or contemporary beds.
