Modern Farmhouse Office

Are  you ready for some modern farmhouse decor ideas? I am beyond excited to share with you my new colorful modern farmhouse office decorating ideas  (which happens to be in my grandfather’s old bedroom) today and I love how it turned out.

A couple of months ago Kelly from Kelly Elco  invited us, along with 9 other bloggers, to be a part of her Color Lovers Summer Series which is sponsored by Birch Lane, The Mine and Minted.

It couldn’t have come at a better time because as many of you know, I recently took over the space above our garage and am in the process of renovating it as my work studio for blogging, photography projects and prop storage.

I wanted to incorporated a large rustic table as my desk and this Oliver Writing desk  from Birch Lane by far, exceeding my expectations. At first I wasn’t sure if my room was big enough to have a desk floating in the middle of the floor but once I got the desk in the space, it worked perfectly.

I wanted to be able to see out the window and view the door into the room as well and this layout achieved both. Colorful Modern Farmhouse Office Decorating Ideas | How to create a modern farmhouse office | Rustic + Industrial + Modern Office

The ivory and yellow geometric rug from The Mine infused a gorgeous pop of neutral color. I love how the rug brings out the warm brown tones in the desk.

The modern oversized lateral filing cabinets (maple color) from The Mine are beautiful and added the modern warm element to the room I was looking for. The desk doesn’t have any closed storage so I wanted to make sure I had enough storage space in filing cabinets.

While these cabinets are meant for hanging files, I plan on using one of them for photography stuff and lens storage.  All of the colorful wall art is from Minted and I love how the pops of blue and pink colors look against the neutral white walls.

The beautiful slipcovered linen armless chair is from The Mine and is actually a dining room accent chair. Many times office chairs look like “office chairs.” I wanted a fabric furniture piece as my desk chair and didn’t chair about wheels on the chair so I opted to take the dining room chair route.

Kind of cute right?  It’s super comfortable and is the perfect height.

I have a ton of cooking and decorating books and the industrial styled hanging metal rack from Birch Lane was the perfect choice to store these items while keeping with the farmhouse theme.

Mixing metals, rustic wood tones and modern elements will help you achieve this farmhouse look.

The smaller seagrass basket from Birch Lane worked out perfectly as a trash basket and the larger ones are perfect for the corners near the filing cabinets. You can never have enough storage in an office!

SHOP THE ROOM:

Many times, Modern Farmhouse design features neutral off white colors but for me, I wanted to incorporate color so I did this by adding a colorful rug, pictures, books planters and fresh flowers.

There you have it, my new colorful modern farmhouse office space. Hopefully you found some office decorating ideas that you too, can incorporate in your own office. Special thanks to The Mine, Birch Lane and Minted for sponsoring the series and the complementary furniture.
