The farmhouse style continues to be popular in many homes. If that’s how you’ve styled your home, you need the right paint colors to match the look. Professional painting companies have to keep up with the trends to give their customers the best advice when their homes need a refresh. If you look at catalogues and style magazines, you’ll see a lot of farmhouse-style homes that have a lot of white, but that isn’t your only option.
Are you ready to repaint your farmhouse-style home? Here are the colors that painting companies recommend for this decor style.
Whites & Off-Whites
They may not be the most exciting colors, but they do work with the modern farmhouse aesthetic. If you want a bright and clean look, crisp whites are the way to go. For a cozier vibe, go with an off-white. Off-whites can have either warm or cool undertones, but warmer colors fit the traditional farmhouse look better.
Greens & Blues
If you prefer color on your walls and cabinets, there are several shades of blue and green that fit the farmhouse aesthetic. For example, sage green is a perfect match for natural wood. Lighter shades offer a warmer, energetic feel, while darker shades create a moody and cozy vibe. Deep greens look great against white, such as green cabinets with white countertops and walls. Olive green is somewhere in between with a slightly earthier look.
Blue has just as many options that work in a farmhouse-style home. Soft blues (like pastels) add gentle color to kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and more. If you prefer something bolder, dark blues are the way to go. Muted hues prevent your home from leaning into the “coastal” look.
Bright Red
When used sparingly, bright red can be the perfect color to liven up your home. Traditionally, barns were painted bright red, so why not bring that color into your farmhouse home? Use it on your front door, on an accent wall, for cabinet doors, or to transform ordinary furniture into an accent piece. Because it’s such a bold color, you’ll want to use it sparingly, but it brings life and classic charm to the often muted modern farmhouse look.
