Modern Farmhouse Interiors by Bria Hammel
Nothing says home sweet home better than a cozy farmhouse! And since the defining characteristic of the farmhouse aesthetic is comfort, it’s no surprise that many of today’s top designers have been looking to this beloved style for inspiration. Modern Farmhouse style is known for its warmth and simplicity, characterized by natural textures, a neutral color palette of brown, white and black with pops of color, and embracing nature indoors.
This post features modern farmhouse interiors created by Interior Designer, Bria Hammel and her design team. Bria is the Creative Director and CEO of Bria Hammel Interiors, the CEO of Brooke & Lou Home Decor and Co-Creator of Hammel House & Co. She leads a fresh, talented team of women who are dedicated to designing beautiful, inviting homes for clients. For Bria, every project is about creating a home filled with surprising, thoughtful spaces that lead to unexpected moments. She has an incredible eye for detail and has a passion for designing spaces that tell her clients’ stories.
Bria and her design team have always been drawn to vintage details, but this year their focus is on bringing in a vintage touch beyond accessories alone through specific elements such as pleated lamp shades, flange welts and traditional prints.
“By incorporating vintage pieces, it adds a “lived in” element to a space and strays away from spaces feeling too perfect. With the right pieces, we love how we can seamlessly blend vintage and modern elements to create a healthy balance of old and new.”
They’ve also been shifting to warm, organic textures and stains. As a rule of thumb, they aim to have a healthy balance of warm and cool, so no matter the trend, their designs never go out of style. Bria also is known for adding millwork to high-traffic areas (such as kids spaces, bathrooms, foyers, mudrooms, etc.) as it is much more durable than sheetrock and can easily be cleaned.
Here are a few of some of my favorite interiors designed by Bria. I hope you find plenty of ideas and inspiration for your own home!
White Farmhouse Kitchen
The kitchen cabinets were painted the same color as the walls to draw your eye up. The over-sized light fixtures that hang over the island were then installed. As a finishing touch a few textured and vintage Brooke & Lou accessories were brought in to help create the collected, farmhouse feel of the home.
Bright and Airy Farmhouse Dining Room
In order to balance the scale of the room, the light fixtures are massive, oversized lanterns chosen in a finish that would pop against the white. The dining area has a warm and inviting design.
Farmhouse Living Room with Plenty of Texture
The dining room and kitchen open up to the main living room so it was important to tie in certain aspects of all of these spaces to have it feel cohesive (i.e. the brick of the fireplace matches the brick from the mudroom floor).
Serene Farmhouse Bathroom in White
This large farmhouse-style bathroom has a separate vanity on each side of the tub that is situated in front of a window with breathtaking views of the surrounding forest.

Rustic Christmas Home Tour
This rustic Christmas home tour was inspired by the design work of Ken Fulk, who is renowned for his layered interiors, high-concept hospitality brands and unforgettable parties. Ken Fulk grew up surrounded by beautiful, rural landscapes in Virginia justifying the designer’s passion for snowy wonderlands and sung hearth sides. He has appointed himself as master of ceremonies for his family’s holiday celebrations and it's easy to see why. For favorite clients, Ken Fulk not only crafts a cozy guesthouse in the Montana mountains, but also oversees an array of holiday festivities—proving he is as much impresario as decorator.
Ranch Style House Home Tour
This stunning ranch style house is perched high on a hilltop and nestled among the trees claiming its rightful place on a scenic 200-acre property in Texas. The owner desired an ample yet understated home with natural and simple architectural expression that would blend effortlessly into the landscape that surrounds it. Heavy timber columns and stone walls ground the home to the site. Reclaimed siding and simple barn-like structures give the architecture a sense of history and regional belonging. Referencing the owner’s love of the old west, many of the interior walls showcase the same stone and wood that is on the exterior of the home. This gesture alludes to a time when materials were not mass produced but simply gathered from the area and formed as needed.
Beautiful Country Homes Tour
This post features tours of beautiful country homes designed by Beth Webb, an internationally recognized interior designer admired for her tactile, serene, and dynamic spaces. Beth believes beauty only works if it is calibrated by ease, and that elegance is rooted in simplicity. “Texture is my color palette,” says Beth, who uses a variety of materials and objects to create interest in a room. She mingles sinuous profiles with hard lines, juxtaposing masculine and feminine silhouettes to create compelling, sensual spaces. Layered light is another crucial element bringing a sense of warmth, romance and contentment to Beth’s interiors.
Atlanta Traditional Country Home
Today we begin a tour of a stunning Atlanta home where the pallet was inspired by the home owner’s (Jane Hight) vast collection of blue-and-white Imari porcelain inherited from her mother and grandmother. Having served as the accountant for interior designer Lauren DeLoach for several years, it was natural for Hight to enlist the designer’s help when decorating her home. When it came to a color palette, the pair looked no further than Hight’s beloved family porcelain. “While we knew we would use blue, finding the right shade took some study,” says DeLoach. “We didn’t want a too-saturated hue, but we didn’t want it too pale. We also needed another color to add punctuation marks here and there, so the salmon hue came from the Imari porcelain.”
Country Home Tour
The small and compact English-style country home is 1,400-square-feet and situated on a sweeping pasture across from the Inn at Brays Island in South Carolina. The owners hired Interior Designer, Beth Webb to create a pastoral blend of Anglo and Low Country traditions. “It’s interesting how a house this tiny can be so INCREDIBLY LIVABLE. Inside, all that extreme verticality means the rooms feel neither contained or compressed. Plus the house has a beautiful orientation on the property, so there’s a lovely dappling of light morning, afternoon, and evening. We took advantage of this as much as possible, especially in the galley kitchen, which we designed as kind of a non-kitchen kitchen, a space that looks more like a sun-splashed garden room with that huge window.”
