This easy to live with style is not so much a trend but a lifestyle which can easily be adapted to the suburbs. 

The bedroom image above is the perfect example of modern farmhouse style.

A luxurious wrap-around velvet headboard is an up-to-date look, paired with clean lined iron and wood side tables the space definitely leans towards modern farmhouse.
