Creating a Modern Farmhouse Design with Window Shutters

Use Wood Plantation Shutters on Your Windows

One of the keys to creating a modern farmhouse aesthetic is using a variety of rustic and modern materials, including natural elements and colors, to create a warm and inviting space. If you are interested in this design style, a great way to add natural texture and farmhouse vibes into your home is with wood plantation shutters.

You can do this using Hunter Douglas Heritance® Wood Shutters or NewStyle® Composite Shutters. These options are durable and are made with Truemill® dovetail construction, the same joinery as fine furnishings, so they will last the test of time and help to create that effortless modern farmhouse vibe.

• Heritance® Wood Shutters are genuine basswood or poplar hardwood shutters that come from sustainably managed forests. These shutters come in 2 ½", 3 ½" or 4 ½" louver sizes and can be stained in over 20 different finishes or painted a custom color of your choice.
• NewStyle® Composite Shutters are modern plantation shutters made from a wood composite that mimics real wood and is finished to look like it with our low-luster Finetech® finish.

Use Barn Doors for a Modern Farmhouse Design

Wooden window coverings are one way to infuse the modern farmhouse style into your space. If you have barn doors from a previous home or that you’ve found somewhere and restored, they can look truly incredible.

You can use barn doors as an accent piece, for example as a pocket door on a track so they open or close easily. They’re wonderful for privacy and make a wonderful statement piece. You could also:

Add the Finishing Touches to Your Modern Farmhouse Design

Combine your plantation shutters and barn door accents shutters with other elements, like a wood table, a stone (or faux stone) fireplace, leather couches, and shiny metal hardware on cabinets or faucets. In kitchens, porcelain apron sinks go great with the lines of shutters for that perfect picture window. These elements all come together to give your space a rustic but modern ambiance that’s functional and stylish.
