One of today’s most popular design aesthetics is farmhouse design, and for good reason: it’s a harmonious blend of modern and rustic, creating welcoming, bright, and often eco-friendly spaces. This aesthetic celebrates simplicity, warmth, and natural elements, making it a popular choice for homeowners looking to infuse their spaces with a welcoming, timeless charm.
Farmhouse decor is easy to spot, with key features like shiplap walls, sliding barn doors, porcelain farmhouse sinks, and woven elements defining the style. Designers such as Chip and Joanna Gaines, and Studio McGee have also popularized this look, offering home décor products and design inspiration that show how versatile and accessible farmhouse style can be, whether you’re in a city apartment or own a country home.
Natural wood, wrought iron, and reclaimed materials are all hallmarks of farmhouse decor, and another essential material that perfectly complements this aesthetic is brick. Brick brings a sense of durability and organic texture that enhances farmhouse design’s rustic yet refined feel. Incorporating brick with other farmhouse staples like vintage furnishings, neutral color palettes, and natural materials like wood and steel creates a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. From white-painted brick walls to exposed brick fireplaces, brick helps capture the essence of modern farmhouse style.
Here are four of our favorite ways to use brick in farmhouse décor:
Farmhouse White Brick Exterior
This classic farmhouse features an all-white brick exterior from the Old Bailey collection, available in shades like Savannah Ivory or Coosa Cream. Paired with a traditional red roof and wooden design accents along the roofline, the white brick creates a striking contrast that highlights the home’s architectural features. Against a backdrop of rural charm, this combination of materials and colors evokes a sense of rustic elegance, paying homage to the farmhouse’s traditional heritage.
Farmhouse Living Room
This charming cottagecore-meets-farmhouse living room features vintage artwork and furnishings to create an atmosphere of timeless nostalgia. The room’s focal point is the brick fireplace with brick from the Ironworks collection that exudes rustic charm and warmth, while exposed wood beams overhead add a touch of natural beauty. The white open shelving showcases treasured heirlooms and curated collections, enhancing the room’s cozy ambiance. A lacquered wood shelf above the fireplace contrasts the rustic brick, offering a spot for displaying cherished mementos. Vintage ottomans and a painted distressed wood Japanese screen add layers of history and intrigue, blending seamlessly with the room’s eclectic charm. With its blend of cottagecore whimsy and farmhouse elegance, this living room captures the essence of cozy living with a refined take on rustic style.
Modern Farmhouse Kitchen
This inviting modern farmhouse kitchen seamlessly blends rustic charm with contemporary elegance. The open-plan layout integrates the kitchen, dining area, and living room, fostering a sense of connection and warmth. Against exposed brick archways, the kitchen exudes timeless appeal with a modern twist. Brass fixtures and chandeliers add a touch of glamour, while pendant lighting illuminates the spacious kitchen island, perfect for gathering and entertaining. A brass hood over the range serves as a striking focal point, complementing the earthy tones of the Towerbridge brick used throughout the space. At the same time, a wood farmhouse-style table offers a casual dining spot with modern chairs vs. a bench for a contemporary flair. With its emphasis on natural materials and thoughtful design details, this stylish modern farmhouse kitchen has warmth and character, inviting family and guests to enjoy the comforts of home.
Barnhouse Gameroom with Brick
Every detail of this barnhouse-turned-modern farmhouse gameroom exudes rustic charm and contemporary flair. Exposed wooden beams stretch across the ceiling, adding a touch of authenticity to the space while framing the room with natural warmth. Above the kitchen area, a large farmhouse sign offers a nostalgic nod to simpler times. The steel fridge and hood over the range add a sleek, industrial edge, juxtaposing beautifully with the traditional farmhouse porcelain sink. But the brick fireplace, adorned with a treasured Moosehead and flanked by plush white couches, steals the show. Crafted from Cypress Point brick, its weathered texture and earthy tones infuse the room with a cozy ambiance, inviting guests to gather and make memories in this stylish yet inviting space.
