Rustic Farmhouse Is the #1 Summer Home Trend of 2025—Here’s How to Nail It

You know how linen pants are suddenly everywhere again? Or how butter yellow is the vibe of summer? That’s what’s happening with rustic farmhouse decor right now. It’s charming. It’s cozy. It’s cool in that laid-back, lived-in kind of way.

According to Pinterest (and basically every design board we’ve peeked at lately), rustic farmhouse is having a serious moment in 2025. And honestly? We're not surprised. This aesthetic is equal parts warm, welcoming, and wonderfully nostalgic—without looking dated. Let’s break it down and show you how to bring it home (literally).

What Is Rustic Farmhouse, Anyway?

Think of it as the love child of cottagecore and modern minimalism. Rustic farmhouse blends weathered wood, natural materials, cozy textiles, and vintage touches with a clean, curated vibe. It’s not cluttered or overly country—it’s about making your home feel grounded, relaxed, and rel.

The new 2025 version of rustic farmhouse is:

• Earthy and raw, but elevated

• Neutral-heavy, with pops of warm hues like terracotta and caramel

• Stylishly imperfect—hello, patina and texture!

• Big on mixing old with new (antiques meet Amazon)

Why It’s The Summer Look of 2025

• It’s adaptable: Rustic farmhouse works in apartments, modern homes, fixer-uppers—you name it.

• It’s season-friendly: Light linens, faded woods, and soft greenery? Perfect for a sunlit summer vibe.

• It’s wellness-approved: Earth tones and natural materials make your space feel grounded and serene.

• It’s budget-flexible: You don’t need a renovation. A few well-placed pieces can totally transform your space.

How to Get the Rustic Farmhouse Look at Home

1. Start with a Neutral Base

Opt for creamy whites, soft greys, or warm beiges for your walls. Think of it like setting the stage for your cozy performance.

Pro Tip: Not sure which shade works best with your space? Our Spacejoy designers can recommend the perfect palette—and even show you how it’ll look in 3D.

2. Add Warm Woods & Worn Textures

We’re talking reclaimed wood dining tables, shiplap walls, chunky knit throws, and woven baskets. Look for oak, walnut, and pine finishes.

3. Mix in Black or Industrial Accents

This keeps it modern and prevents your space from going too “grandma’s cottage” (unless that’s your thing—zero judgment). Try matte black light fixtures, metal table legs, or aged iron hardware.

4. Layer In Vintage Finds

Whether it’s an old barn door, a patinaed mirror, or flea market pottery, farmhouse style loves a little history. Bonus: You’ll instantly add character to your space.

5. Let Greenery Steal the Show

Rustic spaces feel more alive with a little foliage. Think: olive trees, eucalyptus bunches, or even faux plants if you don’t have a green thumb.

Real Spacejoy Room: Rustic Done Right

We recently designed a dreamy farmhouse living room for a Spacejoy client. They wanted a kid-friendly, budget-conscious layout that still gave off Fixer Upper charm. We mixed a linen slipcovered sofa with a chunky wood coffee table, added layered jute and wool rugs, and pulled in vintage-style wall art to finish the look. The result? Rustic, but make it elegant.
