Many styles have gained popularity in home design over the years. Farmhouse style, in particular, became a favorite thanks to Fixer Upper and Joanna Gaines’ signature touch. Modern farmhouse design blends country charm and natural materials with sleek, contemporary lines, creating a beautiful look that fits seamlessly into any home.
If you are looking for design ideas – here are some photos of the modern farmhouse I’ve recently finished working on.

7 Tips to Turn Your Builder-Grade Home into a Custom Home
The modern farmhouse style combines a classic farmhouse aesthetic – its white walls, neutral color palette, natural elements, and weathered finishes with modern clean lines, marble tiles, dark accent colors, and modern light fixtures. The open-floor concept creates a welcoming space for the family to gather. You’ll find windows everywhere for natural light to pour in!
Yes and no. Its elements will always be timeless and elegant. However, make sure it’s appropriate to the overall style of your home.

Exterior element of the modern farmhouse style
The architectural details such as dark windows, doors, and a roof against light gray rock and walls create a classic timeless look.
The facade features large columns at the front porch entrance. The windows around the custom door make the entry feel grand and airy.
Board and batten siding is a classic farmhouse feature. Boards were used to cover the walls and the battens (the narrow wood) were used to cover the seams. Here is used as an accent on the front wall, entry, and above the garage.

Modern Farmhouse Kitchen
The classic farmhouse style presumes a white kitchen, but the modern take allows for more creativity.
We went for a perfect blend of dark gray (Sherwin Williams Grizzle Gray SW 7068) on the bottom and white on top matching beautifully with the color scheme of the exterior.
Two-tone kitchen cabinets along the main kitchen wall are broken up by the open shelves.
Open shelves in the kitchen provide a place to showcase favorite decor pieces, as well as serve as storage for your dishes or cups.
The farmhouse sink provides ample space for washing and goes along with the modern farmhouse design.
The openness of the kitchen leads to a more spacious living room and dining area.
A bench along the window serves as a decor piece, as well as provides additional seating.
Look how classic and beautiful this kitchen is!
Butler’s pantry and a mudroom
Butler’s pantry is positioned between the kitchen and the laundry/mudroom and provides additional storage space.
A mudroom with a bench serves as the second entrance to the home, making it easy for guests or children to make a quick change before entering the house.
This room houses laundry, a pet shower, and a mudroom. Talk about multitasking!
Living room
This classic neutral tone color living room with Restoration Hardware furniture will stay contemporary for many years to come.
Utilizing a fireplace in the center of this room is a great way to enjoy those cozy winter nights.
Black powder room
Dark colors are accent colors in this house. Horizontal shiplap painted black spices up this small powder room. It’s a great way to make a statement in a small space.
Front sitting room
Everything in this sitting room feels inviting to come and read or just daydream of simpler times…
A large window in the family room takes full advantage of natural light, making this area a great place to gather. While a trunk coffee table gives that rustic touch.
Modern farmhouse bathroom design
This black and white hexagon tile is classic, yet playful. The light fixtures from the Pottery Barn remind of honeycombs and give a fresh spin to the hexagon tile theme. This style is perfect for a teenager.
Master bathroom
This design is popular in modern homes today because it’s chic style yet classic.
The wooden stool in the shower is that rustic accent that adds an extra touch of comfort and elegance to the modern farmhouse bathroom design.
Guest bedroom and bathroom
The style of the guest bedroom combines the “modern” and the “farmhouse” so graciously.
Installing custom cabinets allowed us to reduce the cabinet depth by the toilet and to utilize the whole wall for storage space.
A small bathroom looks more spacious by using light tile and white cabinetry. White subway tile – a classing farmhouse vibe is replaced by marble tile, but it’s still within the neutral color scheme.
Note, how the same tile is used in the shower stall as well as the mirror wall. Using different types of tiles would be too busy for such a small space.
Conclusion
This home is truly stunning and full of character and charm. It evokes the soul of an old farmhouse in rural areas, yet still offers all the modern amenities people desire today.
I hope you have enjoyed a tour of this custom modern farmhouse home.
