Light And Airy: Farmhouse Decor Ideas For Your Home

If a feeling of cosiness and love for natural elements are what you yearn for, then farmhouse-style decor is the perfect choice for your home

As the name suggests, farmhouse decor is a laidback decor style that oozes warmth and comfort to your home and has a natural vibe. Probably that’s why it is considered one of the most popular house decorating styles around in many urban Indian homes.

Here are a few more reasons to add to the style’s popularity:

• It is pretty versatile as it can easily blend in with your home’s existing decor and design theme.
• It is a family-friendly, down to earth and very approachable interior decorating style. 
• It considers practicality, functionality and simplicity as priorities and decoration as the secondary objective. 
• It has many different substyles, each of which has its unique defining characteristics. Some of them are:

1. Scandinavian farmhouse style (minimalistic, less cluttered, breezy look, sleek lines)
2. Industrial farmhouse style (refurbished and repurposed furniture pieces, more masculine look)
3. Rustic farmhouse style (lived-in look, weathered furniture pieces made of natural wood)
4. French farmhouse style (provincial-inspired countryside vibes, simple yet romantic and classy look)
