1. White Wash Finish: A whitewashed finish is a classic look for farmhouse style furniture. You can achieve this by painting the dresser a light color and then sanding it down to create a weathered, worn look.
2. Rustic Hardware: Replace standard hardware with knobs and pulls that are rustic and distressed to give your farmhouse dresser its character.
3. Natural Wood: Natural wood finishes are a staple in farmhouse design. A stained dresser with visible wood grain adds texture and charm to a farmhouse living space.
4. Distressed Paint: Give the dresser a vintage farmhouse look by using a sander to distress the paint and reveal the material underneath.
5. Balanced Design: Keep in mind the scale and proportion of your farmhouse-style dresser. Pair the piece with other farm-inspired items like woven baskets, galvanized metal decor and light grey or soft white linens.
6. Character in Decor: Add accessories and decor such as fresh-cut flowers, candles in mason jars, copper-topped glass jars with antique-style labels, or cream bottles to really play up the farmhouse allure on top of the dresser.
