Modern farmhouse virtual staging uses linen or slipcovered sofas, rustic wood tables, black metal accents and woven baskets in a light palette. It suits suburban and semi-rural new builds, especially those with board-and-batten siding, black window frames or a big kitchen island. In a city condo, it looks wrong. Real Estate Camera offers it as one of 8 styles, at 2 credits a room.

Real Estate Camera is our app. Weigh my view of it with that in mind.

What a Modern Farmhouse room looks like

Modern Farmhouse pairs a light palette with rustic wood and black metal. Expect a white, cream or light gray slipcovered sofa and a chunky wood table with visible grain. Black metal lamps or chair legs, woven baskets and a wool or jute rug fill out the room. Modern Farmhouse is one of Real Estate Camera's 8 styles, at 2 credits per room.

  • A linen or slipcovered sofa in white, cream or light gray.
  • A chunky wood coffee table or dining table with visible grain.
  • Black metal in lamps, frames or chair legs.
  • Woven baskets and a neutral wool or jute rug.

Where it fits and where it doesn't

Modern Farmhouse fits suburban new builds with black window frames and semi-rural homes with a big kitchen island. It looks out of place in a downtown condo. Try Modern or Scandinavian there. A 1960s ranch usually suits Mid-Century better. For a beach town cottage, Coastal is lighter than Modern Farmhouse and looks more at home.
