We’ve always believed that a beautifully designed home should feel as effortless as it does elevated, and that’s exactly what inspired the launch of our Signature Styles at Olivia’s.

Carefully created by our in-house team, these six core aesthetics reflect the heartbeat of Olivia’s. They’re more than just visual inspiration, they’re a shortcut to finding your personal style and shopping it with ease. Whether you’re drawn to sculptural minimalism or love the romance of vintage glamour, we’ve curated product collections around each signature look to make it simple to bring your vision to life.

Today, we’re spotlighting one of the most timeless and characterful styles in the mix, the Modern Farmhouse.

The Rise of Modern Farmhouse: Rooted in Comfort, Refined in Style

What began as a celebration of rustic living, worn woods, cosy corners, and countryside charm, has gradually evolved into a style that’s both grounded and elevated. The Modern Farmhouse look merges raw textures with refined design, giving you the best of both worlds.

Natural materials like weathered oak, jute, hemp and rattan still form the foundation, but the modern iteration takes things further: bold contrasts with black iron, unexpected colour palettes, and quirky layering that feels curated, not chaotic.

You only need to step inside Soho Farmhouse to understand the appeal. A true blueprint of the modern farmhouse aesthetic, it mixes statement lighting with reclaimed materials, bold prints with time-worn finishes, and vintage-inspired silhouettes with modern form. It’s a design language that whispers comfort, while still feeling utterly intentional.

Curated by Olivia’s: Your Modern Farmhouse Destination

At Olivia’s, we’ve built a considered collection of pieces that define the modern farmhouse mood, a blend of timeless textures, tailored forms, and heritage-inspired design that feels both functional and fashionable.

Let’s talk textures first. From tactile linen upholstery to handwoven rope and rustic woodgrain, we’ve selected materials that celebrate authenticity. Take Gallery Interiors, for example. Their natural finishes make them a go-to for modern farmhouse foundations, think wooden sideboards or pared-back oak coffee tables that invite slow mornings.

Then there’s Olivia’s Studio, our in-house label, designed to sit at the intersection of trend and timelessness. Many of our signature pieces, from sculptural accent chairs to statement lighting, come from this collection, offering versatile design with the quality and price point our customers love. In the modern farmhouse collection, you’ll spot our signature use of boucle, slatted wood details, and shapely silhouettes that feel classic with a twist.

We’ve also layered in pieces from Keiichi, whose tactile textures and artistic edge add a modern sensibility to farmhouse interiors. Their soft furnishings and home accents bring a sense of curated imperfection, that perfectly undone look that defines the modern take on rustic.

For lighting and finishing touches, Hill Interiors and O&Co lead the way. With industrial-inspired metalwork and aged finishes, these brands know how to bring farmhouse nostalgia into the now. Picture a raw brass floor lamp next to a linen-upholstered armchair, relaxed, refined and just a little rebellious.

And for a polished edge? Liang & Eimil inject a dose of contemporary contrast with sleek black frames, marble tops and refined proportions that keep the look feeling crisp, not cluttered.

How to Style the Look: Layered, Loved, and Lived-In

Creating your own modern farmhouse interior is all about balance. It’s the interplay between old and new, clean and cosy, structure and softness.

Start with your anchors, a solid wood dining table, a tactile boucle sofa, or a classic spindle-back chair. Then build in contrast: a bold black mirror, a graphic-patterned cushion, or a sculptural iron light fitting. Play with texture at every turn. Linen, rattan, raw wood, forged metal, the magic is in the mix.

And remember, this style is all about storytelling. Let your pieces speak to each other, and to you. A weathered sideboard that looks like it’s been passed down. A throw that feels like it belongs in a cabin in the Cotswolds. A lamp that reminds you of a boutique stay in the countryside. That’s where the soul of modern farmhouse lies, in the thoughtful blend of nostalgia, personality, and design.
