In the modern world of design where natural elements are becoming a decor staple and the rustic chic look is coveted, it’s no surprise that farmhouse tables are becoming incredibly popular. The farmhouse table is large, imperfect, and generally made from reclaimed wood. So why does it work so well in the modern home?
Farmhouse tables can often be found at flea markets, but more often than not they’re custom made for a space using reclaimed wood. Some people even choose to go the DIY route! This is where the imperfections come from. The wood itself characterizes the table and the natural beauty of the piece is brought to the forefront. The texture and the remnants of a past life make the farmhouse table seem timeless. They’re the perfect table for family gatherings because the table seems to carry the same rich sense of history as the family itself.
The farmhouse table is also very versatile. It will look just as good with high-backed, modern chairs as it will with low, wooden benches. Another benefit of the farmhouse table is that it is perfect for the outdoors. Mix things up by having an outdoor picnic complete with wool blankets and pillows. The natural aspect of the table matches the organic aesthetic of nature and creates a magical effect. It’s perfect for an autumnal dinner party!
