1. Choose the right color: A hutch in muted or distressed white or cream color is perfect for a farmhouse design. You can also opt for wood tones that compliment your dining table.
2. Mix with textured materials: Add texture to the room with linens, baskets, and other natural accents like basketry, jute, and burlap.
3. Display vintage pieces: Fill the hutch with vintage crockery, goblets, and serving bowls. This will bring an authentic and vintage feel to the space.
4. Add greenery: Top the hutch with greenery such as stems of eucalyptus or sprigs of lavender. Houseplants like ivy or ferns can also be placed in baskets or pots on the shelves.
5. Utilize lighting: Incorporate natural lighting with windows and pendant lighting above the dining table. You can also string rustic lighting on the hutch, adding an extra homey touch to the farmhouse design.
6. Accentuate with borders: Borders in contrasting colors and textures will emphasize the hutch and add rustic charm to the room. Borders in wood, metal, or even distressed textures are perfect.
7. Accessorize with other farmhouse pieces: Add other farmhouse accents, such as vintage signs, wicker chairs, or a reclaimed wood table, to amplify the farmhouse aesthetic.
