You’ll definitely read blurbs about modern farmhouse style being over, but thousands of its fans will tell you it aint. A casual approach, incorporating freshened traditional country aesthetic with modern amenities is both livable and welcoming. So we’ll revisit this beautiful old yet new home with modern farmhouse interiors (find the exterior details here).
Our 1875 Modern Farmhouse Interior Design Tour explores minimal luxe industrial farmhouse interiors of a house restored and built by my close friends in Barrington, IL. We’ll peek at their rustic living spaces, dining area, and unique kitchen with its bespoke and timeless design. This lovely vintage modern farmhouse living room belongs to dear friends.
This modern farmhouse underwent a complete restoration and expansion in 2008 to become the treasure it is today. With quality craftsmanship and thoughtful classic design, the home seems destined to outlast generations.
Refurbished and doubled in size, no modern amenity or detail has been overlooked. In case you admire modern farmhouse decor, neutral colors, clean lines, and sophistication. Location…609 South Grove in beautiful Barrington, IL, is surrounded by well-cared for historical homes with so much charm. I love how this rustic restored farmhouse is within walking distance of charming downtown Barrington.
Walk to wonderful schools, family restaurants, boutiques, and thriving businesses. High Quality Finishes…From the exceptional quality of the architectural design (Glen Ellyn architect, Jamie Simoneit, of Z+O architecture + interiors) to the discerning choice of rich textures and construction materials, the bar was set high for this restoration and new build.
With an eye to the future, the homeowners invested in durable, long lasting design elements. In case you admire cozy modern farmhouse interior design. Would you head in a modern crisp white direction and add pops of color with art? Each room is so rich with textures and architectural interest that its good bones would suit any number of interpretations.
Design elements inside create a cozy mix working beautifully as a whole, and you may be surprised about accents that are NOT here: shiplap! My friends painstakingly sacrificed and persevered for years to give the almost 150-year old beauty a second life. A whole bunch of sweet gatherings happened here, and I’m grateful for the special memories. Let’s begin with an important design choice you may be happy to learn: Unveiled in 1976 to celebrate the US bicentennial, a collection of 191 colors inspired by America’s historic landmarks. For my 50th birthday party here a few years back, the homeowners built a custom industrial farmhouse bar counter.

If you expand the photo above, you’ll see one of my mixed media collages on the coffee table.
Below is the hallway with plenty of gorgeous schoolhouse pendant lights connecting the antique original traditional farmhouse to the new.
Note reflective ebonized wood floors and light fixtures which lend such age. The elegance and warmth of black hardwood floors and a neutral color palette bring this modern farmhouse design to life.
I love the departure in this classic home from overused elements in modern farmhouse interiors such as barn doors. A bank of windows ensures the modern farmhouse style passage never feels dreary or cut off.
This table gets prettily layered with candlelight, fresh flowers, and if we’re lucky…bundt cakes (yum! No sliding barn door but note the painted wood beams in the dining area with beige upholstered chairs.
A collection of dishwashers (yep, three) with stainless steel appliances since they entertain large groups of people often. This gorgeous scullery off the dining room is also the perfect place to arrange flowers and store seasonal items.
I remember when we were designing our first home (the French country manor one) at the time this modern farmhouse kitchen was under construction. (Below) Also note the breakfast bar, sited between the kitchen and family room. Additionally, get that industrial farmhouse look with stainless steel kitchen possibilities here. Order samples with Samplize and have them delivered straight to your door.
On a marble shelf, a very subtle mixed media piece by me (with Langston Hughes poetry) with collected peace signs. How cute are those glass canisters we typically see in the kitchen with bits and bobs?
