Trends: Today & Tomorrow By Becky Tyre

Farmhouse Fresh

Rocking chairs on a porch and clawfoot tubs are elements of farmhouse styling but a simpler way of life is what it’s really about and that is not exclusive to country homes. The farmhouse look embodies old-fashioned simplicity and minimalist designs that encourage simple values, family time, good friends and a sense of community. This trend meets retail through shop local efforts and local farm-to-table initiatives.
