A 9 Part Series we review key design styles commonly seen here in Bend, Oregon.
8 of 9 – Farmhouse Design emphasizes natural materials, vintage elements, and a balance between old and new for a relaxed yet functional atmosphere.
Here are some material suggestions to bring this style to life
• Wood Flooring: Reclaimed or distressed wood in warm tones like hickory, walnut, or oak. Wide planks enhance the rustic, old-world vibe.
• Carpet: Neutral, textured area rugs such as woven wool or jute. Subtle patterns like stripes or vintage-inspired designs add warmth and character.
• Tile: Classic white subway tiles, often with soft gray grout for a vintage touch. Stone-look tiles work well for fireplaces or entryways to add rustic texture.
• Slab: Marble or quartz countertops in white or soft gray with subtle veining. For a more authentic farmhouse feel, soapstone or butcher block countertops are great options.
• Wallpaper: Textured or shiplap-patterned wallpaper for accent walls. Vintage-inspired prints, soft plaids, or neutral geometrics complement the rustic materials beautifully.
This style can also be given a modern twist by incorporating clean-lined furniture and black metal accents, creating a polished, contemporary farmhouse look. Large windows and warm lighting complete the cozy, light-filled ambiance.
