If the living room in a farmhouse is all about gathering, I’ve found the farmhouse bedroom is really where things slow down. This is where traditional farmhouse style becomes deeply personal for me — quiet, comforting, and filled with the kind of nostalgia that feels warm rather than dated.
I always think back to the bedrooms from my childhood, floral quilts layered just right, patterned pillows, soft lamplight, and pieces of furniture that didn’t feel new, but felt perfect. That’s the kind of feeling I wanted to capture here.
The “grandma’s house” inspiration plays out a little differently in the bedroom. It’s not about bold pattern clashes, it’s about soft repetition. I lean into delicate florals, stripes, and checks as accents, not centerpieces. And for me, layers are everything. It’s not about contrast, it’s about creating something that feels gently styled, never overdone.
Comfort really is the cornerstone. I use natural fabrics, warm wood tones, and pieces that feel instantly familiar. Nothing is rushed. Nothing feels overly designed. Even the patterns seem to flow in a way that’s naturally calming, like they just belong together.
This collection is my way of showing how to create a bedroom that feels lived-in from the start, a space that invites early nights, lazy mornings, and that unmistakable feeling of being wrapped up in something familiar and comforting.
In my experience as a stylist for Design Lab by Livingetc, the best farmhouse bedrooms aren’t built overnight. I started with one floral cushion, then added a patterned throw, and finally found the perfect bedside lamp that glows softly at night. It’s these small, intentional choices that make the room feel layered and personal.
You don’t have to dive into a full makeover to get this look. Start with the textiles. Add a little pattern with your bedding or maybe a vintage-style rug.
And if you’re looking for a little guidance to pull everything together into a space that feels cozy, nostalgic, and effortlessly beautiful, the Design Lab by Livingetc is an incredible resource. We can help you find the right pieces, one thoughtful layer at a time.
