How to get the cosy Soho Farmhouse look at home
A perennially popular style, modern farmhouse decor continues to go from strength to strength. And Soho House’s Oxfordshire retreat, Soho Farmhouse, has to be one of the most gorgeous examples of the style. Luckily, you don’t need a 100-acre estate in the Cotswolds to bring the House’s rustic charm into your home. With the help of Soho Home, Soho House’s very own interiors and homeware brand, now you can recreate Soho Farmhouse’s cosy, country feel yourself. So, whether you’re living in the city or the countryside, here’s how to get the look.
Beige 02 Soho Farmhouse paint
Channelling that traditional yellow limestone that can be spotted throughout the Cotswolds, Beige 02 Soho Farmhouse is a soft, buff-brown with yellow undertones, making it instantly warming and packed with character. Its gentle grey notes will ground you, evoking the peace and quiet of a country escape. Inspired by the rustic interiors of Soho Farmhouse, this colour draws you in and makes you feel cosy and cocooned. Great for warming up darker spaces, we recommend using it on your walls, your panelling, or on your cabinets for a gorgeous modern farmhouse kitchen.

Large patterned rugs
When it comes to rugs, we always say the bigger the better. And with Soho Home’s Jaipur rug and Bresle rug’s natural tones, you really can go big. Their neutral patterns will create layers of texture without overpowering your decor. Plus, they’ll feel warm and cosy underfoot. Alternatively, if you want to create more of a traditional farmhouse style, then think about incorporating reds and blues into your textiles.
Neutral and natural sofas
If there’s one item of furniture that Soho Farmhouse has in abundance, it’s comfy sofas. You’re never too far away from a sink-into seat that you can relax in with a drink. Creating cosy nooks is what farmhouse decor is all about and natural, neutral furnishings are how it’s achieved. Inspired by the open-plan barn spaces at Soho Farmhouse, the Roma 3-seater sofa in natural linen is a perfect example of a statement living room sofa that you can throw piles of throws and scatter cushions on, making a real focal point in a modern farmhouse living room. Whilst the Sydney cane sofa is more for occasional seating, made out of rattan cane, it’s an elegant combination of natural materials and artisanal craftsmanship.
Layering of natural woods and textures
Whether through gorgeous views or organic materials, Soho Farmhouse is all about embracing the natural world. One way this is achieved is by layering on natural woods and textures. Look for sturdy, chunky furniture that will stand the test of time and create a sense of permanence and groundedness in your home. Soho Home’s Matis dining table has an understated grandeur to it and will allow you to get the whole family (and a few friends) around it. Or, for the living room, the Barrel coffee table’s cylindrical shape allows you to gather around it, encouraging a sense of togetherness.
Layered, cosy lighting
Getting that Soho Farmhouse look at home is all about creating a warm and inviting space and one of the best ways to do that is with lots of layered, cosy lighting. The best way to do this is to have multiple lighting points, rather than one main light fitting. Use lampshades—particularly pleated shades, for a more traditional decor style—to prevent any glare and create a more gentle effect. Soho Home’s Antero Floor Lamp takes inspiration from the styles seen in the Main Barn at Soho Farmhouse. Its blackened brass frame gives it an antique feel which will develop a beautiful patina over time, adding character to both new and old homes. The Isobella chandelier is a statement light fixture made up of multiple smaller lamps that will cast a soft, warm glow over any living room or dining table.
Scents inspired by nature
The interiors at Soho Farmhouse are a celebration of the natural world. Whether you’re living in the countryside or the city, you can bring the outdoors in by filling the air with scents inspired by nature. With aromatic notes of rosemary, clove, and cedarwood, this Soho Home Remo pine candle will ignite your olfactory senses and transport you to Christmas time at Soho Farmhouse. There are few places we’d rather be.
