Farmhouse Living Room Ideas

One of my earliest memories is sitting on the living room sofa at my grandmother’s house reading one of those Golden books. I think it was The Pokey Little Puppy! The sofa was cozy and comfortable – the kind you just sink right into and feel instantly at home. Around the room were knick-knacks that she’d gathered over her lifetime – all slightly weathered and worn from years of handling and love. The collection of textures and colors in the room made it a peaceful haven. It wasn’t until later that I understood that the farmhouse style my grandmother had perfected was intentional.

As a mom, the thing that I love the most about a farmhouse living room – and let’s be honest here, an entire house full of farmhouse style! – is that it’s approachable. It just calls for lounging and beckons my family to come together. And while it’s been planned and the decorations are intentional, it’s never pretentious. My kids can stretch out on the wooden floors with the sofa pillows and sip lemonade at the coffee table that’s meant to hold cups of coffee and sweet tea. The farmhouse living room is meant to be lived in, to make memories in, and to build a family in.

And that’s just what my grandmother’s farmhouse living room did.
