There are several intricacies involved with modernizing your farmhouse master bedroom décor. If shiplap, distressed furniture, and neutral colors such as whites, tans, and creams are your first love, this is the place for you. In modern farmhouse décor, the central theme is the same, but contemporary changes such as bolder metals, warmer tones, and simplistic lines provide a mature and sophisticated ambiance to your well-curated spaces.
In place of larger bedframes, consider using a board and batten wall as a clean backdrop, or a four-poster bed. Instead of hanging art made of wood and the spoken word, watercolors, and abstract art can inform the rest of your color palette. Blues, greens, and pinks of all hues are gorgeous against naturally occurring tones like black, brown, and cream. When all you need is to add a bit of revitalization to the spaces you’ve already created, rely on this collection to provide the inspiration you are searching for in achieving a modern farmhouse master bedroom.
