The modern farmhouse style took hold around 2010, and you can no longer go from block to block without seeing this unique housing style. But around 2024, I’ve noticed that more and more designers and decorators are moving away from this run-of-the-mill style to something a little more unique. HGTV star Joanna Gaines defends the release.
Known for her early modern farmhouse style, Gaines has transitioned into a more grown-up, classy style in recent years, and this mid-century modern marvel with a touch of Spanish Revival is perhaps her best bet. It’s the best design ever. It tells the story…

“It always starts with the story of a house. How can we excavate it and bring it back to life?” Joanna explained in a conversation with Architectural Digest.
In the case of Joanna Gaines Lake House, the original owners wanted to combine two of their favorite styles: midcentury modern and Spanish Revival. It was important to Gaines to respect the original 1965 architecture rather than convert the house into a farmhouse. The designers leaned into this and the final result is certainly impressive.

With its classic look and pared-down style, midcentury modern decor is a perennial favorite, and it’s easy to see why this look is still so highly regarded today. However, it’s one of the most difficult looks to get right.
Spanning the decade from the ’30s to the ’70s, the simple shapes of this era were inspired by earlier design movements, such as Germany’s Bauhaus school. The use of materials such as molded plastic has allowed the world’s best interior designers to explore new textures, colors, and shapes.
Combined with modern Spanish Revival styles (terracotta tiles, plaster walls, curves, arches, etc.), the fusion of these two styles creates an unexpected but surprising effect in the living room of Joanna Gaines’ lake house. I am demonstrating.
The beauty of the surrounding landscape, with its panoramic views of Lake Waco, provided further inspiration to fuse the two seemingly incompatible styles. It turned out to be a match made in heaven.

My favorite elements in this room are those that relate to the overall story. Rustic wall decor, touches of brown accents, and a patterned rug underfoot are all standout details. Warm up your mid-century aesthetic.
