Farmhouse style is a timeless look that's popping up everywhere in the interior design world right now. You've probably seen beautiful farmhouse tables and DIY projects all over Instagram, Pinterest, and HGTV lately. But how do you bring farmhouse style into your home? One of the easiest ways is with a farmhouse table. 
 
In this guide, you’ll learn the basics of farmhouse style and how you can use farmhouse tables in your home. Just one farmhouse-style piece of furniture can create the rustic vibe that you've been dreaming about. 
<h2>What is farmhouse style?</h2>
Farmhouse style emphasizes rustic decor with neutral colors, cozy warmth, and a relaxing, practical approach to furniture. Even though it has a bit of a vintage feel, you can combine farmhouse home decor with modern styling for an updated sensibility. This look is known as modern farmhouse style. Farmhouse style can also integrate with other interior themes, such as <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/add-an-industrial-edge-to-any-space">industrial</a> or boho chic. 
<h3>Basics of farmhouse style</h3>
As its name suggests, farmhouse style is inspired by traditional farmhouse design. Most farmhouse spaces feature white or off-white walls with an earthy, toned-down palette. Pops of color are limited and intentional, bringing attention to various aspects of the room. Solid wood and other nature-based elements are almost always the stars of the show, and they're essential to the farmhouse look. 
 
Spaces are decorated to feel warm and cozy, and they prioritize function and comfort over a sophisticated look. Most farmhouse dining tables feature exposed wood grain on the tabletop and rustic-style chairs or benches. 
<h3>A look at the farmhouse table</h3>
Farmhouse tables set the mood for many rustic dining areas. They're typically vintage-inspired and heavy-duty, made with solid wood table tops and a natural wood finish. Though the dining space is the most common spot for these beauties, it doesn't stop there. You can also use a farmhouse table in the living room instead of a coffee table. 
<h3>What type of chair goes with a farmhouse dining room table? </h3>
You can use almost any chair with a farmhouse table. It all depends on the overall look you want to achieve in your home. The best part about a farmhouse table — and the farmhouse style in general — is that you can style it in various ways to suit your tastes. 
 
Use a farmhouse table to change things up and create some contrast. Mixing and matching is an excellent way to do this — check out our <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/dining-chairs">tutorial on mixing and matching dining chairs </a>for more inspiration. Mixing helps you avoid the matchy-matchy look that wood chairs around a wood table can sometimes create (unless that's your thing, of course). 
 
To get started, consider these simple ideas for farmhouse kitchen and dining room chairs: 
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Linen slipcovers for a formal, country-style look</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/windsor-side-chairs-natural-brown-and-white-set-of-4">Spindle chairs</a> for a modern farmhouse look</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Matching benches for family-friendly style </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">One farmhouse bench paired with farmhouse chairs for versatility </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Mix and match chairs with the end chairs differing from those on the sides of the table</li>
</ul>
<h3>Accents and styling </h3>
If you want a full farmhouse look around your farmhouse table, add accents that fit the theme — for example, a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/search?q=farmhouse-style%20chandelier">farmhouse-style chandelier</a>, breadboard, or <a href="https://www.etsy.com/search?q=farmhouse-style%20centerpiece">centerpiece</a>. If you're up for a little sanding and woodworking, you might also try making a DIY centerpiece made from barn wood or reclaimed pine wood. A rustic table runner or tablecloth is a lovely way to protect and decorate your tabletop for formal occasions.
