Modern Farmhouse style takes the cozy and rustic charm from the past and blends it with the clean and bold trends of the present! It is the best of both worlds and works in all types of homes–no actual farmhouse required. 🙂 This spring, Better Homes & Gardens at Walmart has some exciting new items, including graphic and bold prints, global and chic décor, and sleek and comfy furniture. I picked out a bunch of fresh spring products to create a blue and white tablescape that is both beautiful and obtainable! Here are 5 tips for creating an affordable modern farmhouse tablescape of your own!
Modern Farmhouse Tablescape Tip 1: Mix and match your dish patterns.
Mixing dish patterns is a playful way of adding a modern spin to a farmhouse look. When mixing dishes, I recommend choosing a tight color palette using no more than two colors. Blue and white is always on trend and is reminiscent of cottage and farmhouse decor. However, instead of choosing traditional blue and white spode or Delftware, consider modernizing the look by incorporating bolder geometric prints and patterns.
The Better Homes & Gardens Piers Mix and Match dishes are a great option and do all the hard work of pattern mixing for you! Better yet, they are incredibly affordable.
Modern Farmhouse Tablescape Tip 2: Keep it casual.
The farmhouse look is never stuffy. It’s always cozy, approachable, inviting and casual. Think pitchers of sweet tea, baskets of bread, and room at the table for unexpected guests! Beverage dispensers aren’t just for outdoor parties. Place one at the end of the table, or on a nearby server, so thirsty guests can help themselves. The Better Homes & Gardens Mason Jar Beverage Dispenser with Galvanized Round Stand/Bucket is perfect for the job!
Modern Farmhouse Tablescape Tip 3: Use galvanized metal.
Nothing says “farmhouse” better than rustic galvanized metal! Use galvanized serveware on your modern farmhouse table to incorporate a bit of rustic charm. On my table, I used the Galvanized Oval Tray, Galvanized 2 Tier Round Serving Tray, and the Galvanized Round Stand/Bucket. These pieces transition seamlessly from outdoors to indoors and look great as decor when not in use.
Modern Farmhouse Tablescape Tip 4: Keep Table Decor Simple
A few vases of flowers, or potted plants is all you need for your farmhouse table. Keep your centerpieces simple so that the focus is on the food and conversation.
Modern Farmhouse Tablescape Tip 5: Serve guests family style.
Place silverware and napkins in the center of the table to make setting the table a breeze. This also sets the tone to a “help yourself” meal and allows guests to grab items as needed.
