A Farmhouse Dining Room for Color Lovers

Do you have trouble balancing your love of soft, neutral, Chip and Jo farmhouse style with your love of bold color? Well, relax! Here's how to create a chic farmhouse look and satisfy your color cravings all at the same time.

Adding a vivid color, like this saturated blue, to the walls gives the room a sophisticated vibe. Thanks to the white wainscoting on the lower part of the walls, the color isn't overpowering.

You don't have to necessarily go floor-to-ceiling shiplap to get a farmhouse vibe. This high wainscoting gives the room that "they don't build them like this anymore" charm that works with just about any decor. And if you're on a budget you can always create faux wainscoting with white paint and minimal trim.

Don't let that high wainscoting throw you off your A-game when it comes to wall decor. Hang pieces at eye level, which not only makes it easier to appreciate the art but also softens all the horizontal lines in the room.
