Countless ink has been spilled rejoicing the 'death' of the modern farmhouse aesthetic, but there is one problem: many elements of the style are utterly timeless. Though shiplap walls and all-gray furnishings are unlikely to continue into the next decade, the artful use of white, warm woods, and round shapes is perpetually chic. So, how do you make modern farmhouse look stylish, not dated in 2026? Here, Lauren Conrad provides a masterclass.
The actress shared a photo of the neutral living room in her light-filled Pacific Palisades home on Instagram in 2016, and 10 years later, it's still just as stunning. Lauren created the clean and polished look of the modern farmhouse home with interior designer Katherine Carter, focusing on combining her California roots and elevated style. White walls, curved furnishings, and a glass coffee table anchor the space in a traditional farmhouse aesthetic, but vintage accents like the rattan chair and light sconce add warmth and personality.
