1. Farmhouse Paint Colour Ideas
Whether you’re painting walls, furniture or cabinets, the modern farmhouse look is taking the country by storm and raising country style to a whole new level. And when I say storm, I’m not kidding! The modern farmhouse style is dominated by stormy grays, greiges, purple, blues, and other colors with subtle, and not so subtle, gray undertones. Along with those stormy tones we’re seeing drops of pastel, vintage, and lived-in colors with old-school charm.

2. What are Farmhouse Paint Colors?
Generally speaking, they’re colors that give the illusion they’ve been ‘lived in for a while and not the ‘kids fingerprints plastered up your stairwell’ kind of lived-in, but rather the slightly worn look that gives a sense of history to a room.

3. Farmhouse Decor Ideas
3.1. Earthy Color Palette
When it comes to choosing paint colors for your farmhouse-style home, neutral and earth tones work best because they make rooms appear brighter, larger, and more inviting. Go with shades of beige, tan, brown, and white. If you need accent colors, opt for light blues, yellows, and greens.

3.2. Expose Ceiling Beams
Inspired by the look of a barn, farmhouse design utilizes exposed ceiling beams to incorporate a natural feel and stark lines to make rooms appear larger than they are. You can show off this design element in your kitchen, living room, and even your bedroom!

3.3. Add Shiplap to Walls
You can’t have a farmhouse without a shiplap! Whether you want to transform an entire room or just a small area of your home, this design trend is easy to do yourself! Create an accent wall in your living room or kitchen, or completely redo your entryway for a seamless look!

3.4. Install Barn Doors
Sliding barn doors are a simple way to get a farmhouse interior without having to do any costly renovations or a complete overhaul of your home. Swap out an old kitchen pantry door or install sliding barn doors between two areas to create separate rooms.

3.5. Hang Up Chandeliers
Not sure how to include farmhouse-style lighting in your home? Consider chandeliers! Place white, whimsical light fixtures in a bedroom or dining room for a chic look, or opt for something more industrial with a black matte finish to create a modern farmhouse design in your kitchen.

4.1. Benjamin Moore Army Green 2141-30
For a rich, grounded green look, look no further than Army Green. Whether it’s for a kitchen island or feature wall, Army Green will add just the right dose of color, without overwhelming a space. I also love the darker, more neutral approach of Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze.

With a wink bluer than the average gray paint color, Silver Gray is a beautiful way to create a soft, cool backdrop for your room. It would be especially nice in a warm, south-facing room.
