Here, we've rounded up our favorite modern rustic ideas and inspirations for kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, and more, all featuring a spin on the farmhouse design you've already come to know and love. And to sweeten the deal, we've even included a few shoppable finds so you can get the look almost as soon as you fall in love with it.

Modern Rustic Laundry Room

These rolling baskets are more than just visually striking; they can also be divvied up among your family members for easy sorting. Alternatively, designer Emily Henderson (the mastermind behind this laundry haven) suggests using one for dirty laundry and another for clean.

Modern Rustic Kitchen Decor

A large farmhouse table, butcher block countertops, and vintage-inspired kitchen canisters all point to rustic, and yet this bright, sunny kitchen by deVOL Kitchens comes across as distinctly modern thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, subway tile, and trendy black paint.

Modern Rustic Outdoor Entertaining

In our opinion, this bar cart toes the line between "trendy" and "traditional" flawlessly with an unfinished look that feels wholly rustic. Add barware and a few antique touches, as Emily Henderson Design did with those copper lanterns, and you've got yourself the ultimate entertaining space.

Modern Den With Rustic Details

The jaw-dropping detail in this Massachusetts cabin den? A striking stone fireplace. The rest of the space is kept simple and sleek, with slipcovered CB2 sofas, a handblown glass vase, and a tray resting on a wooden pouf from Roost, so as not to overdo the rustic appeal.

Rustic Kitchen With Modern Touches

Marble and gold accents are the surprisingly modern features in this otherwise rustic kitchen by deVOL Kitchens. A great big wooden table and bench, an antique hutch, and even decorative plates on the walls (just like Grandma used to do!) give the space a fresh farmhouse feel.

Get the Look: Mid-Century Modern Legs

Industrial By Design

Industrial, mid-century modern legs are an easy way to transform a classic farmhouse table into something a little funkier. (And at $30 for a set of four, the price on these really can't be beat.)

Modern Bedroom With Rustic Accents

Perhaps the most foolproof way to instantly modernize a space is with a fresh, white color palette. Shiplap walls and a single wooden beam (would you believe it's faux?!) keep this bedroom by Love Grows Wild down to earth.

Get the Look: Faux Wooden Beams

No exposed beams? No problem. Follow Liz's lead by installing a faux beam, like this one from The Home Depot.

Rustic-Modern Kitchen Decor

The Spanish-inspired tile backsplash in this California bungalow's kitchen recalls a bygone era, while the farmhouse sink imparts a rustic feel. But in our opinion, it's those little modern touches—like open shelving and concrete flooring—that really elevate this kitchen, bringing it back to the present day.
