The top colours for farmhouse-style walls are white, cream and pastels. These shades create a soft and soothing backdrop for your home! Surprisingly, when used sparingly, black can help create a charming contrast when used in tandem with one of these base colours. Now, just add a few touches of wood, and you're done!In small doses and used judiciously, bright colours also play a role in the farmhouse style.In all its forms, wood is popular as wall covering in the farmhouse style. Spotlight on: panelling! There’s no reason to break the bank to get this look. Indeed, HDF panels are available that imitate various types of wood panelling. Barn wood planks are ideal for installation on a ceiling or a wall.
The key to success is to create groups of vintage items. Many retailers offer a host of antique replicas, which are must-haves! As echoes of the past, they offset the farmhouse décor to perfection. Don’t hesitate to browse bazaars and flea markets where you’re sure to find a myriad of authentic old-fashioned objects! The possibilities are endless. Anything that’s been used in the past can serve a whole new function today. For example, an old ladder can easily be converted into a bathroom towel rack, and old wooden boxes can be repurposed as bookcases or mounted wall shelves. Pallet wood can also be used as a base to create a host of furniture items and homemade decorative objects! DIY suits the farmhouse style very well.

As in the past, use tone-on-tone prints to add texture and richness to the look of your bed.Use the same approach when it comes to the curtains.
