Anyone familiar with Joanna Gaines knows she has a knack for creating modern farmhouse spaces that are warm and welcoming. One would think that the abundant use of shiplap and rustic woods throughout the homes she and husband, Chip, remodel would look cold and stark, but they don’t. The finished product always remains soft and comfortable. The secret? Textiles! Let’s talk about 5 important textile uses for achieving Joanna Gaines’ Fixer Upper style in your home.
Window Treatments
Window treatments are a wonderful way to add softness to a modern farmhouse home. No-nonsense cotton in neutral shades, linen, and burlap are all wonderful choices. To keep that casual and comfortable look, make sure you hang drapery high, letting the bottom pool slightly on the floor. Roman shades are another great option. If you go with a patterned fabric, choose something that blends in nicely with the rest of the palette.
Upholstery
When it comes to furniture in a rustic farmhouse, the goal is to keep it looking clean but inviting. This is easy to when furniture is upholstered in soft, muted neutrals. Another suggestion would be to invest in a fitted white or ivory slipcover. To ensure farmhouse style comfort, opt for a natural cotton fabric.
Accent Pillows
To top off that comfortable furniture, buy some quality accent pillows. Muted colors are best to keep with the simplistic theme farmhouse style is so well known for. To get you started, we now carry a gorgeous selection of pillows. You can order custom pillow in the fabric of your choice
Rugs
Area rugs protect your floor but they also add an extra layer of color and texture to a room. If the majority of the space is neutral, you may want to go a tad bit bolder on the rug choice. If not, stick with something that blends into the environment. Wide selection of rugs is available at our stores for you to purchase for your home.
Towels
Plush, luxurious towels are a definite way to finish off that Fixer Upper farmhouse style in your home. Not only do they look good, they feel good!
