What's not to love about the modern farmhouse decorating style? Simplistic, warm, and inviting, the farmhouse style continues to be a popular choice in interior design. Using custom mirrors throughout a modern farmhouse home will enhance the natural beauty and inviting style of the modern farmhouse look.

Mirrors in the Entryway

Make a memorable first impression by creating a welcoming entryway in your farmhouse home. Mirrors add depth to a small entryway and will give your guests a place to freshen up when arriving at your home. A stand mirror placed next to a wooden coat rack and deacon's bench makes a perfect and inviting addition to a farmhouse entryway.

Mirrors framed in weathered wood or distressed finishes will maintain the simple farmhouse style. Choose mirror shapes to contrast with wall décor, such as using oval mirrors with square or rectangle pictures, etc. And what could be more inviting than mirrors reflecting the candlelight from an adjacent wall decorated with candle sconces?

Mirrors in the Living Room

Create a grouping of mirrors in various shapes and sizes to add life to a staircase wall. Mix and match rustic wood frames with antique metal frames to create the ultimate in farmhouse appeal. Add framed family portraits to your collage of mirrors to complete the look.

Create a living room focal point by decorating a fireplace mantel with distressed mirrors, candles, antique clocks, and a few swags of greenery. Replacing a wooden coffee table with a custom glass top is another way to create a focal point in the living room. Add a stack of old books, a vase of flowers, and a candle to the tabletop for a touch of ambiance.

Mirrors in the Kitchen or Dining Room

Nothing says home like a farmhouse kitchen and mirrors will enhance the feeling of hominess. With appliances and gadgets vying for attention, kitchens can appear busy and cluttered. Tone down the busyness by adding simple mirrors in unexpected places, such as between two cupboards or above the refrigerator.

A little goes a long way when it comes to mirrors in the kitchen. Choose small to medium mirrors in oval or circular shapes to contrast with square appliances and cupboards. Choose thin-framed mirrors rather than wide ones to achieve a calming effect in a busy room.

Mirrors in the Bathroom

In a large bathroom with a double sink, install one large mirror above each sink to break up the vastness of the room and create a cozy effect. A small bathroom will benefit from one large mirror installed above the vanity to make the room appear larger. For something unique, consider hanging custom mirrors suspended from the ceiling on an iron pulley with ropes.

Bathroom elements can appear cold and uninviting. Choose mirrors framed with rustic or weathered wood materials to help soften the look and bring a touch of warmth to the room.

Mirrors in the Bedroom

Install a mantel above the headboard of a bed. Arrange a grouping of mirrors on the mantel to create a soothing focal point in the room. Install a large window-like custom mirror above a dresser and fill the dresser top with green plants to create a peaceful farmhouse sanctuary.

Decorate the corner of a farmhouse bedroom with a rocking chair, full-length stand mirror, and an antique lantern. Brighten up a wood wardrobe by installing custom mirrors along one side of the wardrobe. Install mirrors along an entire wall of a small bedroom to reflect the beauty of your farmhouse bedroom decor and open up the room.

Adding custom mirrors to your modern farmhouse style home will reflect all the great things you love about farmhouse living. From the entryway to the bedroom, mirrors will highlight the beauty and simplicity of farmhouse furnishings and décor.
