1. Incorporate multiple tones.

When choosing paint colors, instead of going all white and airy, consider darker tones and maybe even play with texture on the walls like this studio does. Reclaimed wood panels in fun patterns will work, too.

2. Go edgy with the lighting.

When choosing light fixtures for your industrial farmhouse aesthetic, consider using exposed filament bulbs and metal lamps for an edgy look. To keep things feeling relaxed, go for informal wall art and a few dried florals or greenery.

7. Take the style outside.

Bring the industrial farmhouse look to your backyard. You can keep the outside space relatively simple with a large farmhouse table, metal stools, and a wood bench. And this look is even more special because of the pergola. It's ready for all those summer dinners under the stars.

8. Try some textiles and texture.
