Hey friend,

One of the essential components of the modern farmhouse style is wood.

You see, the type of wood you use dictates the look and feel of your home,

So here are the top 5 modern farmhouse wood types we recommend.

1. Reclaimed Wood

Popular for its rustic charm and environmental sustainability, reclaimed wood comes from various sources, such as old barns, warehouses, and other structures. It adds a sense of history and character with its weathered appearance and imperfections.

2. Pine

Pine is a softwood that's widely available and often used for its affordability. It's particularly favored in modern farmhouse designs for its light color and visible grain and knots, which can contribute to a cozy, rustic feel.

3. Oak

Known for its strength and durability, oak is a common choice for flooring, cabinetry, and furniture. It has a prominent grain pattern and comes in a range of colors from light to dark. White oak, in particular, is often used for its versatility and subtle grain.

4. Maple

Maple is a hardwood with a fine, consistent grain, making it suitable for a more polished, smooth look. It's often chosen for its light color, which can be stained for a variety of finishes. Maple is commonly used in cabinetry and furniture within modern farmhouses.

5. Walnut

Walnut is a luxurious hardwood known for its rich, dark color and fine grain. It's often used in statement pieces or accents within a modern farmhouse to add depth and elegance to the space.

And that was it friend,

All you gotta do now is pick your favorite one in the poll down below,

And remember, choosing the right one will not only influence the aesthetics but also the warmth and the very soul of your home.

So pick wisely!
