10 Modern Dining Room Ideas With A Farmhouse Twist

If you're anything like us, you probably like more than just one style of design. While this is great for inspiration, it can make things a little challenging when deciding how to style your own space. Luckily, like flavors of ice cream, many design styles blend well with one another so you don't have to feel tied to one look for the rest of your life.

In fact, mixing and matching two of your faves can result in something even better, like modern farmhouse. From contemporary light fixtures to distressed finishes, there's no denying that on-trend decor pairs beautifully with a warm aesthetic. But don't take our word for it, here are 10 modern dining room ideas that look decidedly farmhouse.
