Farmhouse Design Ideas for Every Home: Room by Room

The modern farmhouse is vintage, yet timeless design style that you will love for years to come. It’s so popular with home renovations and DIYers that we couldn’t let you miss out on this trend, it’s everywhere! So much so that you can use this style in any area of your home. We’ve compiled a list of inspiring farmhouse design styles for the most popular areas of your home.

FLOOR TO CEILING

You’ll notice that the farmhouse style incorporates a lot of natural elements such as metal and wood. Whether it’s wood floors styles, wooden planks or beams on the ceiling, and wood paneling on the walls (ship lap).

Here’s a PRO tip: For farmhouse flooring, you don’t have to use actual solid hardwood. You can save money by going with a wood-looking flooring such as laminate, vinyl and wood-looking tiles to get the same farmhouse look you desire.

Farmhouse Foyer

A large chandelier always make a statement in the entry way of your home. You can usually find the farmhouse chandelier lights in a black, gold or wood finish.

Farmhouse Staircase

You will find that farmhouse style staircases are mostly two tones wood or metal and wood combinations that are usually accompanied by shiplap walls and accented with metal light fixtures.

Farmhouse Family Room

Neutral colors and natural elements such as wood style flooring, furniture, ceiling, walls, straw decor, and stone make up this farmhouse family room design.

PRO Tip: When having a wood-looking floor style make sure you bring a bit of coziness to the space by adding a nice neutral area rug.

Farmhouse Dining Room

Wood on wood on wood. This dining room inspiration showcases how you can have wood floors, furniture, and wall decor and still make it look nice.

PRO Tip: Use contrasting colors such as white chairs to go with a natural wood table color. Although this table looks okay with the flooring in this photo, a darker wood style floor will make the furniture stand out a lot more.

Farmhouse Kitchen

To beam or not to beam, that is the question: Whether you’re using wood on the floors or wood on the ceiling, it looks great either way. The most common element for a farmhouse kitchen is the large farmhouse sink.

PRO Tip: To add more lighting in the kitchen, think of adding recess lighting or you can opt for a pendant or chandelier style light over a bar area or an island/bar combination.

Farmhouse Pantry

Dark flooring and a bright and well organized butler style farmhouse pantry makes this pantry both beautiful and unique.

PRO Tip: If you have a small pantry, organizing your items in containers or bins makes your pantry or cabinet look less cluttered and clean.

Farmhouse Bedroom

Carpet? Yes, you can! Carpet looks great in farmhouse designs. You’ll mostly find neutral carpet colors such as tan and gray carpet in the bedroom and other areas of a farmhouse home.

Farmhouse Bathroom

The great thing about bathrooms are the variety in flooring options. Shiplap accent walls seem to be the most common elements for farmhouse bathrooms along with unique light fixtures.

PRO Tip: For a Farmhouse bathroom, you can opt for a waterproof flooring option such as ceramic, stone, and wood-looking porcelain tiles.

Farmhouse Kids Room

The Ultimate Farmhouse Design. This kids room has all the elements of a farmhouse style: barn doors, naturals (wood and greenery), neutrals (white and light carpet), industrial lighting, and shiplap.

Farmhouse Laundry Room

The modern farmhouse design style is one of simplicity using natural material and neutral color tones. This look of clean and organized is picture perfect. No matter what design style you’ll choose for your next home project, think about the timelessness of the Farmhouse style, it never gets old. With that in mind, will you choose a style that you’ll have to change in the next 10 years or will you opt for something of the now and forever? Whatever you choose, make sure you love it!

Floor Installation Process

Modern flooring installation process by Square Circle Interiors.

Flooring Installation Process

How We Install our Flooring Systems

Generally, when you schedule an installation, we determine whether the materials can be delivered the day of installation or if the material must be pre-delivered to allow the material to adjust to the temperatures of your home (also known as acclimation).

Carpet Installation Process

If carpet already exists in the area, then, the carpet as well as the underlayment needs to be removed. This is normally done by using a pair of pliers to pull on the nap of the carpet, starting from any inside corner. Once this is done, the rest of the room can be removed quite easily.

Cutting the rug into 2ft pieces makes the process much easier. Rolling them and tying them with twine, or wrapping them with duct tape, makes for easy transport. A floor scraper can make the removal of the padding, (underlayment) a breeze. Normally, padding is glued to the floor, so the floor scraper comes in quite handy. The tackless around the edges, or border of the room, can remain. This essential component generally lasts the life of the home and may be reused with each successive installation. If any section of the tackless is damaged, decayed, or missing, it can either be replaced, or reinforced by placing another strip behind it.

Once the floor is swept clean of debris, we can now begin installing our new carpeting. All our carpet is installed using the power stretch technique, to ensure that no premature buckling occurs, shortening the life of your new carpet.

Wood Flooring

Wood products differ in relation to other materials when it comes to delivery, in that the wood products must dwell in the area(s) to be installed for a time recommended by the manufacturer.

Recommended Material Acclimation Time:

• Laminate: As little as 3 days
• Engineered Wood: as little as 24 hours
• Solid ¾ Wood or Bamboo: As many as 10 days

You should clear the area of installation to allow storage of the materials for a time prior to the installation date to allow the natural properties of these materials to acclimate to the moisture and temperature conditions of the home. Wood will either expand or contract when exposed to different environments. Therefore, we want this acclimation to take place before we install, not afterwards. This will prevent bridging, or even worse, buckling of the planks later on.

Leaving a slight expansion gap around the border of the room between the wood flooring and the sheetrock or baseboard allows for additional expansion to take place. To cover this gap, we generally install a ¼ quarter round molding onto the baseboards. These are installed pre-painted. Once in place, they are caulked at the seams, and nail holes for that solid picture frame look.

Vinyl & Laminate Flooring

Vinyl installation today is much different than in times past. Much of what we’re installing is what is referred to as a floating floor, meaning that the material is not glued or adhered to the floor in any way. Today’s vinyl products are largely sold in planks, like laminate, and use a similar click-lock system for installation.

Preparing the area(s) for installation is quite similar to any other material, in that, any existing carpet, underlayment, and tackless need to be removed. However, when we are installing in an area where there is existing glued down vinyl, there is no need to remove that material. Because vinyl plank floats atop any other hard surface, so there’s no need to disturb the existing substrate to prepare for new installation. Simply broom sweep, and we’re ready rock n’ roll.

Stone Tile Flooring

For stone tile materials, it’s important to consider the nature of both the tile itself, and thinset mortar used in installation. Tile can only be properly installed atop a concrete slab floor, or cement board substrate. The thinset mortar will need to directly contact the porous surface of the cement to fully cure.

If there is existing vinyl on the floor and wood is your subflooring, then installing a cement board atop the vinyl is the way to go. However if the vinyl substrate is covering a cement slab underneath, this vinyl material will need to be removed by pulling it off the floor, and any remaining material scraped off with a bladed floor scraper. Thus the thinset, (adhesive), will make full contact with both the slab underneath and stone tile above. By setting tile directly atop a wood subfloor today, and cracking grout lines, and possible tiles as well, will most assuredly spoil your hard work later.

Professional Flooring Installation

We’ll do it right the first time. Allowing us time to properly acclimate flooring products and install over the correct subflooring will allow us to do it right the first time. This will prevent damages, buckling, or bridging of your new flooring.
