Designing a farmhouse-style home that feels both chic and timeless may seem daunting, but Meg Ryan has shown it’s entirely achievable – and the key is a classic monochromatic color scheme.
Although this post is a few years old, the idea remains just as relevant today. In her black and white kitchen, created with Santa Barbara-based Becker Studios, Meg carried the black-and-white scheme into her open-plan living area. The architecture leans industrial farmhouse, with high wooden beams, a textured brick wall, and a large fireplace – yet the simple contrast of black and white instantly modernizes the space while letting the rustic textures shine.
