Natural grain wood is in farmhouse deco style furniture’s key player – its nod to shaker style showing up in turned legs and curved lines. Upholstery is neutral or pastel, in washed greens, pinks, yellows and blues, while curtains are light and sheer, and rugs are flatwoven and layered over large-plank wood flooring. It’s naturally simple.

It’s in farmhouse deco style accessories that nature is most in evidence – whether in hung dried flowers, windowsills of plants, smaller woven basketry, or patterned decorative wall hangings. Collections are also key, especially of treasures foraged from nature. Which means display hutches and open shelving are, too.

Take a light touch to the living room, with farmhouse deco style. Vintage-style furniture finds easy company with rattan basketry and warm-hued blonde wood. Cotton and linen curtains drape across windows, both softening the light and letting it flood the space, while pastels tie it all together – with well-placed accents in sunflower yellow or cherry red. Freshening things up is as simple as gathering grasses and reeds for fuss-free arrangements in glass jars and bottles.

White, cream, warm grey – these are the light neutrals found in farmhouse deco style bedrooms. As their centrepiece, the bed combines graphic black cast iron with crisp white bedding and cushions in slubby, natural linens and bold, monochrome ticking stripes. Walls are minimally dressed – think a single feature wall hanging and/or smaller gallery picture collection. In the farmhouse-style bedroom, less is more.

Nature is a big feature in the farmhouse deco style bathroom, together with clear-cut or fluted glass, and sanitary ware and bathroom textiles in crisp white. Taken together, it all feels fresh and clean.

In the farmhouse deco kitchen, the light woods of this style appear as accents in functional essentials such as cooking spoons, chopping boards and washing-up brushes. These sit against light and simple backdrops, freshened with growing herbs and green plants, and softened with raw linens, both plain and striped.
