Farmhouse Bedroom Fireplace
If you’re lucky enough to have a fireplace in your bedroom, like in the serene farmhouse bedroom shown here, you’re already halfway to country farmhouse style.

New farmhouse interiors also embrace more pattern and a more personalized style while remaining rustic and cozy.
