If there’s one particular decorating style that’s fresh and inviting, it’s Farmhouse. But in order to get the optimal look, it requires the right fabric choices. After all, you won’t necessarily achieve that farmhouse charm with velvet or damask, right? So, let’s take a quick look at what the best choices are when it comes to creating a comfortable and welcoming farmhouse-style interior.
1. Buffalo Check and Gingham
Buffalo check and gingham are two patterns that scream farmhouse! While similar in nature, these two patterns are not one and the same. Buffalo check is a much larger pattern whereas gingham runs on the smaller side. Table runners, pillows, napkins, and blankets are just some of the ways you can incorporate these beautiful patterns into your home.
2. Ticking and Stripes
If you want a pattern that’s timeless, you can’t go wrong with a stripe. Hands down, stripes are so versatile that they will mesh well with any decor style you send their way. The good news is that they look especially great in farmhouse-style interiors! 
In regards to ticking, that’s not a term that’s as familiar as “stripe.” Ticking fabric can be described as heavy, tightly woven cotton or linen. It’s often known as being “feather-proof”, in that that does not allow feathers to penetrate it. However, the term may also refer to a striped pattern that is used for décor purposes, like drapery, upholstery, slipcovers, tablecloths, and throw pillows. Commonly, ticking stripes are commonly navy on a cream background, or they can come in solid white or natural.
3. Plaid
Who doesn’t love a good plaid pattern? Although plaid is often associated with fall and winter, it’s a pattern that can work all year long in farmhouse decor, especially when in neutral shades. Since plaid can stand well on its own, there’s really no need to mix it with another pattern unless you just really want to.
4. Grain Sack
Grain Sack is a staple pattern when it comes to farmhouse decorating style — and while it might not be as easy to find as the other above-referenced patterns, it is out there. A lot of times, it can be found at antique stores or flea markets. With that said, being that this decorating style has become so popular, it is becoming more readily available. 
5. Whites
Of course, farmhouse just isn’t farmhouse without hints of white. White looks great whether you use it on upholstery or as an accent.
When using white in a farmhouse-style interior, be sure not to shy away from texture. Textured fabric, especially when solid in color, keeps the space interesting with its visual appeal.
