1. Wall Treatment and Paint Colors
- Install vertical shiplap paneling: Add shiplap panels painted in a light neutral color, such as off-white, soft beige, or light greige.
Instead of paneling, consider painting the walls in warm, earthy tones. use off-whites, soft grays, warm wood browns, and accents of green from plants.
I recommend the following paint colors:
- Alabaster (SW 7008) by Sherwin-Williams – A soft, warm white that adds brightness and warmth to the room without feeling stark. It creates an inviting backdrop that complements wood tones and neutral decor.
Reasons why Alabaster (SW 7008) is a great choice for a modern farmhouse bedroom:
- Soft and Inviting: Unlike stark whites, Alabaster has subtle creamy undertones that create a cozy, lived-in feel, ideal for farmhouse aesthetics.
- Versatile Backdrop: It complements a wide range of materials—such as wood, metal, and natural textiles—allowing rustic elements to stand out without clashing.
- Brightens the Space: Alabaster reflects light beautifully, making bedrooms feel airy and open, even if natural light is limited.
- Works with Neutral Palettes: It pairs effortlessly with popular farmhouse colors, such as grays, beiges, or muted greens, creating a soothing and cohesive design.
- Timeless Appeal: Alabaster’s classic look ensures that your room will stay stylish for years, bridging the gap between traditional farmhouse charm and modern minimalism.
- Repose Gray (SW 7015) by Sherwin-Williams – A light, warm gray with subtle beige undertones. It offers just enough contrast to keep the room cozy and adds a modern touch to farmhouse aesthetics.
Reasons why Repose Gray (SW 7015) is a great choice for a modern farmhouse bedroom:
- Warm Undertones: While it’s primarily a gray, Repose Gray has subtle beige and greige undertones that make it feel soft and cozy—ideal for the inviting, lived-in feel typical of farmhouse interiors.
- Versatile Neutral: It complements a wide range of materials, such as wood tones, metal accents, and natural fabrics, allowing you to mix rustic elements with modern pieces effortlessly.
- Soft and Calming: The slightly muted tone of Repose Gray creates a serene, relaxing environment—perfect for a bedroom retreat.
- Adapts to Lighting: It works beautifully in both natural and artificial light. In brighter rooms, it leans more toward a light gray, while in dimmer spaces, its warm undertones emerge, adding depth without feeling too dark.
- Pairs Well with White Accents: Repose Gray looks stunning next to crisp whites like Alabaster or Simply White, which can be used for trim, bedding, or accent pieces, enhancing the modern farmhouse vibe.

Light bedding balances the rustic wood tones, metal accents, and greenery often seen in farmhouse decor. It also complements modern details, such as black-framed windows or sleek lighting, maintaining harmony between old and new.
