Brick is usually seen in traditional or rustic spaces, but the newer, safer versions of fireplace elements Furniture Country in Gainesville offers look fabulous in your modern farmhouse-style living room as a sleek treatment of style and function. If you do have a brick fireplace you can even paint the bricks of your fireplace white to add a warm and contemporary touch to your living room, or you can pair it with your wood floor to add ultimate visual warmth to space. 

Windows to the World

Your windows are your home's gates to the outer world. They reflect style and architecture and let sunlight and fresh air complement your interior. Two over two windows or the double-hung windows give a classic look and go well for a living room with modern farmhouse architecture, as the style will help add a farmhouse vibe while remaining classic. Two over two windows have two sashes that slide vertically up and down. These are very appealing windows and can be customized with internal grilles for extra architectural appeal. Having these windows can also increase the value of your home for future buyers.

Exposed Beam

While designing in a modern farmhouse style, focusing on your four walls can make you miss a significant design opportunity. The fifth wall – your ceiling! A ceiling of a living room sets the tone for the whole space. It really creates an architectural impact adding more texture and depth to the area. Exposed ceiling beams can change an ordinary room remarkably. Exposed beams draw the eyes up, creating an illusion of spaciousness while making a big design splash without consuming any square footage. 

If you want a modern farmhouse feel in your living room, exposed ceiling beams can give you exactly that. You can transform your living room by using exposed beams in various ways. From rustic pine beams to massive metal spans, exposed beam ceilings add drama and reveal architecture that is sometimes too easily overlooked from a home's interior.

Wood Floors

The natural wood floor is the epitome of a modern farmhouse-style living room. It's earthy, simple, and practical and looks great when carries through the entire home – including the kitchen!

To achieve a modern farmhouse look, you want to use neutral, i.e., natural wood finishes,white-wash or some gray mixes.  Light and muted color mixes tend to work best for this style.  Also, they make your space look airier, lighter, and spacious.  And, they also tend to show less dirt and scratches on the surface.

Wicker Furniture

If you've been looking for furniture that makes an aesthetic statement without adding a ton of visual weight to your space, wicker is for you.  It is one of the more modern trends in decorating informal spaces to bring nature home. Wicker furniture creates a pleasant cottage decor feel in your modern farmhouse-style living rooms. This furniture reminds of sunny summer days and brings coziness and a stress-free atmosphere of homes' outdoor into living rooms. Through wicker furniture, you can beautify and soften the modern interior of your living room by adding natural textures, comfortable brown or gray colors, and handmade designs. Wicker furniture is inviting, familiar, and brings a nostalgic feel of country home decoration into modern living rooms.

A Nod to the Past 

With a nod to the past but strongly planted in the present, the modern farmhouse-style living room offers a trendy way to attain an ageless setting. And despite having attributes, such as the use of neutral colors and organic materials like exposed beams and wicker furniture — today's farmhouse style also incorporates modern updates, making it an attractive option for homeowners.
