Farmhouse and chic are probably not two words you hear that often when thinking of new interior design ideas.  When one thinks of “farmhouse,” images of ruggedness, rustic and weathered come to mind.  Images of modernity, simplicity and style come to mind when one thinks of “chic.”  But make no mistake, even farmhouses, barns, cottages and the like can be chic, modern, and fashionable.  Even if you are not lucky enough to live in a converted farmhouse or barn, the look can still be recreated.  Fill your home with vintage items and other home décor antiques.  In the kitchen, consider using a weathered wooden picnic table and matching benches.  Any color palette works within farmhouse chic interiors: neutral or colorful.

The designer and owner of this hamlet in Virgina calls the decor, “Modern Barn.”  It is actually a converted 19th century farmhouse and it's quite easy to see that while there is a rustic, hardy feel to the place, it's anything but Old MacDonald.  A neutral palette, a cowhide rug, a lot of weathered wood, and a sofa finished in leather and linen keep this farmhouse modern.

Painted white trusses, and a grand stone-covered fireplace are the central focus in this converted farmhouse.  But notice how teal-colored, velvet wingback chairs, bright canary yellow pillows and a striped rug, add to the rustic, chic look of this living room.  One of the keys to achieving the farmhouse chic look is mix fabric, color, texture or all of them.
When it comes to recreating these interior design ideas into your home, stick to a lot of weathered or vintage pieces, but don't be afraid of color.  And remember that you can really be stylish and rugged at the same time.
