Farmhouse and contemporary don’t usually go in the same sentence but the ‘modern farmhouse’ trend has been one of the defining styles of the last decade. Whether Irish, American, British or Scandinavian, it’s a versatile, durable trend that’s both chic and sophisticated yet relaxed and cosy, making it popular with families who desire the imperfect, low-maintenance look. Every now and again, it’s taken to loftier heights by designers and celebrities and their McMansions: who can forget the flood of images of Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis’s LA farmhouse a gigantic converted barn that is both rustic, bright and contemporary in spirit and manages to feel traditional and modern at once.
Grey, sodden summers feel somewhat retro. A washout summer is a throwback to childhood holiday memories: I’m thinking of all those soggy sandwiches eaten under raincoats on windswept Irish beaches in the 1980s.
