Rustic farmhouse style typically involves reclaimed or natural wood elements that haven't been sanded smooth. It focuses on the rugged natural beauty of farm elements used for decorative purposes. Modern farmhouse style is similar but tends to use more sleek and clean lines as you find with contemporary interior design. Both styles can be combined to create a cozy aesthetic using natural textures and materials like wood or galvanized steel. Rustic and modern farmhouse style usually consists of warm, earthy and neutral colors, like cream, beige and gray.
