Red Thread interiors - A Modern Farmhouse
Entrance Hall by Red Thread Interiors - Pop Light Cluster
The term 'Modern farmhouse' has evolved far beyond its early rustic roots, it has matured into a considered way of living. At its heart, this style balances understated sophistication with everyday comfort. It is elegant and refined, yet relaxed, family-friendly, and practical. Whether nestled in the countryside or reimagined for an urban setting, modern farmhouse brings warmth and ease without ever feeling overly styled. It is less about reclaimed floors or copper pots and more about a thoughtful sensibility that runs through every detail of the home.
These stunning interiors from Red Thread Interiors, founded by Sam Halperin, exemplify how modern farmhouse has grown into a nuanced, contemporary approach. Set in the idyllic Hertfordshire countryside, this family home was conceived with a clear brief: to create a warm, characterful space that honours farmhouse authenticity while embracing modern style, perfectly suited to family life.

Sam aimed to capture the essence of farmhouse sensibilities; warmth, practicality, and authenticity, while reinterpreting them for a modern home. Working closely with the clients from concept to completion, she respected the property’s rural charm while introducing layers of texture, natural finishes, and a soft, earthy palette to accentuate the light-filled interiors.
Architectural features such as exposed vaulted ceilings, polished plaster walls, and warm timber accents provide timeless character, while Rothschild & Bickers' Lighting adds a contemporary, handcrafted elegance. In the stairwell, our Pop Lights introduce a splash of colour and tactile charm, creating a striking focal point. The layout was thoughtfully reimagined to suit the rhythm of family life, while bespoke furnishings and curated styling create a sophisticated yet lived-in atmosphere. This approach thrives on contrast, pairing traditional elements with fresh, forward-looking touches, with Rothschild & Bickers lighting bridging the two beautifully.
The result is a home that feels both timeless and current: a seamless blend of rustic charm, refined sophistication, and contemporary practicality, reflecting the maturity and versatility of modern farmhouse today.
