While wood is a very prominent texture in farmhouse style, the use of metal comes in at a close second. There are a number of fun ways to bring metal into your farmhouse style home decor.

5. Accessorize with Rustic Textiles

With hard textures like wood and metal, most farmhouse style rooms also need some softer textiles to balance the space.

Cozy wool blankets, rustic handmade quilts, and homey cotton tablecloths are all great ways to introduce rustic textiles into your home decor.

Throw pillows and area rugs more great options for adding rustic farmhouse charm to a room.
