The modern farmhouse style has become one of the most popular interior design aesthetics, and it's easy to see why. This look is a clean and minimalist celebration of texture that effortlessly combines rustic, modern, and contemporary styles for a homey feel. Olivia Culpo's home perfectly captures the modern farmhouse look.
The actress and model took to Instagram to share images of her living room, and fans were stunned by its sleek and timeless appeal. From the white paneled walls to the wagon when chandelier and exposed ceiling beams, it's peak modern farmhouse, and interior design experts agree.
'Olivia Culpo's space embodies the modern farmhouse living room through a combination of rustic elements like the ceiling beams and white wood walls with contemporary touches like the Kelly Wearstler stone side table,' says San-Francisco-based interior designer Soledad Alzaga. She continues, 'Modern farmhouse decor blends the rustic, cozy charm of traditional farmhouse style with contemporary elements to create a fresh, updated look. '

'The balance of natural raw wooden materials, coupled with sculptural furniture pieces, creates a "Modern Farmhouse" feel, which is inviting yet sophisticated,' adds Melissa Read, London-based interior designer and founder of Studio Burntwood.

The farmhouse drama of this space is created mainly by space-enhancing features that call the eyes to the living room ceiling. Melissa tells H&G: 'The exposed interior beams are a charming feature that emphasizes the generous ceiling height. Simultaneously, the oversized plant and strategic window treatment placement draw the eye upward, enhancing the perception of height within the space.' Making the living room ceilings look higher contributes to a more contemporary, airy feel.
Olivia Culpo's living room color palette further creates a stylish, modern farmhouse look. 'The use of white in the space complements this look by adding brightness to the room and being the perfect backdrop for the furniture and decor accents,' says Soledad. She continues, 'This contrast adds visual interest and depth to the space while maintaining a sense of harmony and balance.'
'The simple color palette of whites and neutrals are enhanced through contrasting dark wood and metal furniture and lighting pieces, adding a monochromatic touch,' Melissa adds.
