If the Y2K-era Tuscan revival and a bright, breezy Mediterranean villa had a baby, it would be 'Spanish farmhouse.' The former can feel a little too terracotta, too top-heavy in dark wood and weathered leather; the latter, a touch too devoted to old-world earthiness. Spanish farmhouse lands neatly in between. It’s less a new design style than an old one, rediscovered.
From California hacienda homesteads circa 1600 to today, design’s biggest names are bringing back the once-over-done vintage look. Celebrity-loved studio Pierce & Ward recently debuted a fleet of feel-good ceramics covered in warm botanical florals, while the familiar heft of wrought iron is being softened in unexpected ways: Nate Berkus translates its handwrought character into wool for Rugs USA, and Sarah Sherman Samuel recasts the classic candelabra silhouette in airy white resin.
The more obvious hallmarks remain, too – only lighter. Tapestry-inspired prints, woven textures, and artisanal finishes are still threaded throughout, though today’s takes on the 'trend' favor wicker over stucco and embroidered cotton curtains over weightier linens, courtesy of everyone from Anthropologie to Quince.
Why should French farmhouses get all the love? These 16 pieces prove Spanish farmhouse deserves some time in the spotlight.
