The modern farmhouse look has captured our hearts for its blend of rustic charm and clean, contemporary lines. It’s a style that feels both timeless and fresh, and it’s perfectly suited to the gracious homes we have here in the Midlands. To achieve this look, think about a color palette of soft whites, muted greens, and warm wood tones, with pops of traditional orange for that quintessential autumn feel.
Start with a foundation of white and heirloom pumpkins in various sizes. These are a staple of the farmhouse style and create a beautiful, neutral base. We love to source our pumpkins from local growers, and a trip to a nearby pumpkin patch like Clinton Sease Farm in Lexington is a wonderful way to kick off the fall season. Arrange your pumpkins in clusters on your steps and around your doorway, mixing in some gourds for added texture and interest.
Next, incorporate natural elements like corn stalks and hay bales. A few corn stalks tied to your porch columns can add height and drama, while a small hay bale can serve as a rustic perch for a pumpkin or a pot of mums. Speaking of mums, they are an absolute must for a farmhouse porch. Choose mums in shades of white, yellow, or deep burgundy to complement your color palette. You can place them in galvanized metal tubs or rustic wooden crates for that authentic farmhouse feel.
A beautiful wreath on your front door is the finishing touch. Look for a wreath made from natural materials like grapevine, with accents of eucalyptus, cotton bolls, and perhaps a few small white pumpkins. A simple burlap or plaid ribbon can add a touch of rustic elegance.
