How to Design a Modern Farmhouse Gallery Wall & Living Room<\/h2>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Hi loves, as I’ve shared with you a few times already this year over on my Instagram page<\/a>, simplifying my decor is a priority for me in 2018. I stepped back late last year and decided what goals I wanted to achieve in regards to how I lived. From my health and wellness to how I decorated my home.<\/p>\n

The wall behind my sofa in the living room has always felt incomplete to me. I had a very pretty shelf up there that I really loved, but it didn’t feel like a cohesive space. Once I redecorated my sunroom in a modern farmhouse style<\/a>, I fell in love with the modern vibe that black added to the room. That’s when, deep down, I knew simplifying and modernizing my home a bit more was something I wanted to take baby steps towards. I turned to The Home Depot<\/a> and set out to start making steps towards those goals.<\/p>\n

If you are choosing to design a modern farmhouse gallery wall, there are some things you will want to incorporate to pull this look together the way I did.<\/p>\n

Incorporate Black Frames<\/h3>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Adding the color black to any home instantly adds a modern feel to a space. I chose to add black in the form of framed art. What I love most about these framed pieces of wall art: although they are modern, the print themselves say farmhouse. The Farmer’s Market printed wall art<\/a> is simple and elegant. The photo of the Grange Blanche barn wall art<\/a> takes you back to the farm and visions of a more relaxed farmhouse life.<\/p>\n

Because there was so much black on the farmhouse gallery wall, I also wanted to add more black into the dining room. I brought in this black gate wall art<\/a> door. Not only does it incorporate black, I love the french country look of the door as well. It fits beautifully with some of the French inspired decor I already have. It was the perfect compliment to the empty wall next to the TV.<\/p>\n

Use Various Textures<\/h3>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

I accomplished this with the metal arrows wall sculptures<\/a>. I love that they are lightweight but they add visual appeal, texture and warm tones to the space without being over powering.<\/p>\n

Integrate Visuals That Feel Old\/Vintage<\/h3>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Something you would perhaps pull out of a barn or an old farmhouse. What I added to the wall was an old window frame that I had, but used in another way.<\/p>\n

I re-purposed it to fill the space with a larger sized item but also thought it would make a nice layering piece with the Life is Like a Camera<\/em> wall art<\/a>. I like how it feels like the art is floating on the window, adding visual interest.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

The selection of art wall decor that The Home Depot stocks is very impressive. It was really hard choosing exactly what to pick, but I must say there is something for every style and every budget.<\/p>\n

Incorporate a Rustic Piece<\/h3>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Since I was making small updates to add a more modern feel to our home, I swapped out the ottoman for this refined rustic angle iron barnwood storage coffee table<\/a>. I love the color and grain of the wood and the simple clean lines of the frame.<\/p>\n

The black metal frame is very sturdy (trust me, my hubby stood on it to hang the chandelier and he is 6 ft. 5 in.). The quality and finish on both the wood and metal is beautiful and elegant. The photos don’t give it justice.<\/p>\n

Add Modern Elements<\/h3>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

To add more modern elements to the dining room, I added two bacall natural cream cotton blend high back dining chairs<\/a> to both ends of the table. Before, there was one chair on one side on the dining table which left the room feeling unbalanced to me.<\/p>\n

By adding these chairs with clean lines to my farmhouse table, a modern farmhouse look was instantly achieved. What I love best about my new chairs is the quality and softness of the cotton fabric and that the fabric is removal in case you have to clean it.<\/p>\n

The chair is well built and comes assembled in one piece. You will find these to be a classic and timeless addition to\u00a0 your home that can be enjoyed for years to come.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

My home has typically been decorated in a French farmhouse style. But, I really love the way adding the farmhouse gallery wall and other modern pieces from The Home Depot<\/a> have created a modern farmhouse feel to my home easily and affordably.<\/p>\n
