Farmhouse decor will never go out of style, even if trendy aspects of it will (sorry, cowhide rugs). It's rustic and cozy and echoes the past in a comforting way — not to mention it pairs perfectly with the vintage trend that's hot rn. But it can also feel dated without a few upgrades for 2023. Think European influences, black and white contrast, color, and Scandi-modern style, and you'll be able to elevate your farmhouse look easily. Here are 30 inspiring photos from some of our favorite designers to reboot your decor for a fresh farmhouse look.
