35 Posts From People Who Can’t Stand ‘Live Love Laugh’ Design, As Shared On “The People Against MoDErN fArMhOuSe” Facebook Group
Interview
With the direction that some modern interior and product design styles have taken, when people ask you if you were raised in a barn, you can actually tell them, ‘Why, yes. Yes, I was!’ Welcome to the wonderfully weird and often soulless world of modern farmhouse, a style that is supposed to be cozy, comfy, and charming, but often ends up being commercial, generic, and ridiculously basic.
‘The People Against MoDErN fArMhOuSe’ is a fun and snarky Facebook group whose members do exactly what’s written on the tin: they gently poke fun at the whole modern farmhouse aesthetic by sharing some of the most egregious examples of this style. Scroll down for some of their best pics. Anyone who wants a unique home instead of a mass-produced one might want to look away!
Bored Panda reached out to the team running TPAMF, and the founder of the Facebook group, Katie, was kind enough to answer our questions. She explained how the group is about ‘punching up’ at a style that is, essentially, conformist and dystopian. Read on for our full interview with her.

We were very interested to hear about the history of ‘The People Against MoDErN fArMhOuSe,’ and the founder of the page was happy to walk us through it. The beginning of the story lies in January 2021 when she and her husband bought their first home together.
“As a millennial who had been a renter for well over a decade, I had never really given interior renovation/decor much thought; everywhere I lived up until then had been a transient space that wasn’t really mine. So, I did what every other excited new homeowner does and started binging on HGTV, filling Pinterest boards with home inspo, and, you guessed it—joining DIY Facebook groups,” Katie told Bored Panda.
“After at least a month of interior design and decor content-consuming, I started noticing some really prevalent, nauseatingly repetitive trends: Everyone had white shaker cabinets in their white kitchens.” However, white shaker cabinets and white kitchens were just the tip of the Iceberg of Tastelessness.

also, airing the bed(bedding) - light helps keep the bugs at bay. I'd like it more if the entire side of the bed would be openable (I know, not a word...) The old beds used to have a curtain you could slide all the way to the side.

Ok, I know that a lot of people wouldn't like this setup, but to me, this would be awesome. I get migraines a lot, and I'm also autistic and have sensory issues, so the protection this would provide from light and sound would be very helpful. I've also always found small spaces comforting. When I would have meltdowns as a little kid, I would always calm down by hiding in a cabinet or under my bed. Enclosed spaces like that have always made me feel weirdly comforted and safe.

Ok, if they had portholes on the end this COULD actually be great. Except trying to clean and change them. That would still be a nightmare, but for the kids these hold a ton of imaginative play potential. Still ugly though.

I watch that reality show called "Doubling Down with the Derricos" and in one episode they went on a short break and rented this house to stay in, I think it was in Utah maybe. But this place was absolutely gorgeous, every inch of it was spectacular. But the best bit in it, in my opinion, was the kids room that had built in bunk beds in it and they were amazing! If you're familiar with the show you'll know the episode I mean. I absolutely loved those bunk beds lol. If I ever win the lottery I'm definitely going to be tracking down the owners of that house to buy it lol.

Changing sheets and making the bed would be horrible. Unless you just use some straw or cedar chips for bedding since they resemble dog crates.

It looks kinda cringe… but also like something I would love to have had. It’s a closed in space, which is what I always looked/look for when I am overstimulated (I’m an introvert) or having a panic attack. For some people it would be the reverse, but for me, small, dark, and closed in can be very comforting.

My sister and I used to regularly put a sheet across the bed, creating our own DIY enclosed safe space.

These types of beds were very common in Europe, UK and Scotland for many years. They were called Box Beds and were particularly useful when there were either many people in a room (often used by servants in big estates) as it provided privacy to the occupant, and considering that heating wasn’t what it was in today’s standards, enclosing the bed like this (or for the aristocratic class with heavy drapes) kept more heat in.

They're isn't a kid on the planet that wouldn't love to sleep in those bunk beds. Private spaceship style sleeping quarters, no light pollution waking you up before you're ready, a door you can close that will protect you from every monster that might go into your closet... Pyysshh, all day long baby
SageHare37 3 years ago
I know so many people that love sleeping in cubbies, I can't say it's terrible with some modifications. Having the end open like a door for ease of cleaning and changing the mattress. Plus literal break away panels so a sharp kick opens the side to prevent fear of being trapped. It does look like a pet crate though.

This is probably a godsend for kids that have to share a room, it might be small but they have a place where they can close themselves off from the sibling

Beds like these are hundreds of years old, and they're more efficient than having to heat the whole room at night, and we're also helpful by giving people a place of privacy in homes that were often just big rooms. They would have shelves inside for your belongings and a lamp or candles to not only light it but heat it. I had an apartment that had a bed enclosed within three walls and a couple of folding doors, right in the livingroom. It was especially warm during the winters, just me and two cats and a couple of candles which, along with our body heat, kept it cozy. Really miss having an enclosed bed like that, tbh!

These bunks are going to be really warm and cosy in a cold winter. There's been examples of box beds throughout history - people finding ways to keep warm in winter. I've seen Scottish and Dutch ones. There's Japanese and Chinese versions too, and I'm sure they were used in lots of other cultures.

“You were nobody if you didn’t have white quartz countertops. Get a white farmhouse sink, they’re so ‘unique and charming.’ Brown anything be damned; gray all the way. Why not tear out your historic wood floors and put in some gray luxury vinyl plank? Make sure your bathroom is covered in white (and only white) subway tile, or you’re doing it all wrong,” the founder of ‘The People Against MoDErN fArMhOuSe’ revealed what the trends were like at the time.
“When you’re done with all of that, be sure to choose from about 3 of the same matte black light fixtures from your local Home Depot. And sprinkle the place with cheugy word signs commanding you to ‘EAT,’ a boatload of white Rae Dunn word pottery, and maybe ruin a good piece of historic wood furniture by chalk painting it to make it look ‘rustic.’ And while you’re at it, go ahead and paint your brick fireplace. Boom—you’re a farmhouse influencer now, whether you live on an actual farm or not. Your home’s history has no place in the dystopian universe that is Modern Farmhouse.”

It Took My Brain Entirely Too Long To See That I Was Looking At A Table And Chairs Rather Than Some Weird Things Scattered On The Floor
All of this really started to make the woman aggravated and she started asking the real, tough questions. “Where was the color? The antiques and heirlooms, the personality? Was there any originality at all whatsoever present in DIY groups? No, there really wasn’t.” That’s what inspired her to start ‘The People Against MoDErN fArMhOuSe,’ as a joke. She explained to Bored Panda that the upper and lowercase letter alterations were “ an homage to the illegible cursive lettering seen on everything basic over the last 5- 10 years.”
Katie made the group in just 5 minutes, and she started posting about it in some of the largest DIY groups on social media that she was in. “I wrote something like, ‘Tired of everything generic? Join the revolution: The People Against MoDErN fArMhOuSe.’ I got booted out of some of the groups pretty quickly, but not before a handful of members came along for the ride. The group became a space to hate on Modern Farmhouse decor and all things basic and cheugy, but also to celebrate and define styles that are MfH’s polar opposites. Over a handful of months, the group gained traction, and eventually, we had over 160,000 fiery and passionate members worldwide.”

Meanwhile, we were curious as to why the content shared on the group resonates with so many people around the globe.
“There are more people than I expected who are tired of all things bland. MfH is so basic. It’s regressive, lacking creativity, mass-produced, and it’s conformist,” the founder shared with Bored Panda.
“There’s also something to be said about the white, middle-class women who were mean girls in high school flocking to that decor style. You know the type I’m talking about. The Venn diagram between MfH lovers and women who call themselves ‘Boy Mom’ is a circle,” she quipped.
“In this group, members are all about ‘punching up,’ meaning we poke fun at the oppressive majority. That’s not to say we don’t also roast one another, though. It’s all in good fun.”

A Friend Got Me A Mfh Sign That Said "In This Kitchen, We Lick The Spoon". In Two Different Fonts Of Course
My boss got a Cricut for some branding at our office and put me in charge of learning how to use it. One of the first things I did was repaint over that sign and make a new quote for it. It's from the movie The Witch in one of the final scenes the devil is asking the girl "Wouldst thou like the taste of butter? A pretty new dress? Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?"
So I think this is a better kitchen sign.

Found In The Wild Of My Local Marketplace, It Says Boho But I Have A Feeling Someone Is Going To Get This To Match Their Highland Cow Ottoman
According to the founder of ‘The People Against MoDErN fArMhOuSe,’ the society we live in has “long operated with a herd mentality.” Social media really hasn’t helped any of that!
“Now, more than ever, it seems that fitting in and belonging matters a whole lot to folks. Influencers and HGTV stylists could start decorating homes to literally look like the Shrine Circus and I guarantee that the same people who love Modern Farmhouse would be totally on board,” she explained.
“Over the last decade or so, mass appeal decor has had a narrow space to diversify with these particular trends in place, so much so, that people are just riffing on the same lame themes over, and over again. This is why we end up with tacky word signs with only slight variations of the same ‘gather’ and ‘live laugh love’ sentiments at art fairs now. There’s no place for real art in MfH; that would be far too expressive.”

In the group founder’s opinion, people have to actively say ‘no’ to the modern farmhouse aesthetic. “It dominates retail; it’s easy, accessible, and in your face, whether you like it or not. Anyone who has set foot in a HomeGoods or Target knows this all too well.”
Katie opened up to Bored Panda that she never expected the Facebook group to become what it is today. “The People Against MoDErN fArMhOuSe, despite being huge, has become a super tight-knit international internet family of hilarious weirdos. I have an incredible admin team across the U.S. who I’ve become so close with, despite having never met in person before,” she shared.
“The memes and inside jokes that have come out of the group’s digital time together have made the last couple of years much more bearable. Lots of our humor has made its way to a merch line designed by a handful of us. We launched the shop last year, and proceeds were donated to the Architects Foundation Diversity Advancement Scholarship. We’re excited to find foundations with similar missions to support this year to help diversify design.”
Anyone who wants to donate to the Foundation can do so over here.

Modern Farmhouse Taxidermy?
The best way to instantly 'get' what the modern farmhouse style of home decor is all about is to think about the phrase ‘live laugh love.’ Your imagination should do all the work for you!
‘The People Against MoDErN fArMhOuSe’ Facebook group was founded a couple of years ago, in late March of 2021. In that time, it’s grown considerably and now houses 162.4k interior and snarky product design critics who love to gently poke fun at the latest modern farmhouse trends. Why? “Because the world would be more original with less living, laughing, and loving,” that’s why.
Despite the fact that the entire point of the Facebook group is to be snarky and critical of the design style, there’s absolutely no room for personal attacks or degrading comments. Yes, you’ll see some members shaming interiors, cushions, dishes, and more, but it’s all done within the boundaries of decency.
The team running the page also asks its members to try and be as original as possible and avoid posting what's already been shared time and again. Original content is king, and that won’t change anytime soon!

Modern farmhouse is (at least in theory) all about creating a sense of comfort and coziness while mixing tradition with modernity. ‘The Spruce’ points out that the style was mostly a response to the minimalist trend that was popular back in the ‘90s and early 2000s. Instead of austerity, you have quaint charm and warmth that’s supposed to make you want to relax and stay a while with your feet up.
That’s a lovely atmosphere to evoke. However, in recent years, some people feel like the style has become incredibly cheesy and overdone to the point of ridiculousness.
Now, there’s nothing objectively wrong with modern farmhouse style in and of itself, from a purely design-focused perspective. However, it’s become widespread and overused to the point that it makes some design and architecture lovers roll their eyes. There's also a very obvious commercial and low-effort element to all of it.
If you, your neighbors, and all of your friends are living in identical homes filled with cushions with cheesy phrases and giant spoons nailed to the walls (which, of course, are made of reclaimed wood), what actually makes your life unique? And it's not just interior design that's falling prey to this trend of spreading generic designs: you can see it pretty much everywhere.

It’s Not Just The Cabinets, But The Butthole On The Countertop That Does It For Me
GenericPanda09 3 years ago
The cabinets aren't to my taste but the b******e thing on the counter just looks like one of those felt doohickeys you put between pans when you're stacking them so they don't f**k up the non stick.
Some people find joy in having so much in common with everyone else living in their local area. And that’s perfectly fine. However, many others don’t want to live in generic, mass-produced interiors. It’s normal to want to stand out and impress others.
It’s far harder to leave a lasting impression on your guests when your kitchen and living room look almost identical to theirs. Who knows, you might have bought all of your knick-knacks from the same home decor store!
Modern farmhouse is all about bringing rustic and vintage interior decisions to the 21st century. There’s a focus on neutral color schemes, smooth lines, and adding contemporary touches to what could otherwise be considered a traditional approach to design. It’s about finding a balance between coziness without over-cluttering your home.
Or, in less flowy terms, you make your home look like a chic barn that’s soft, gentle, and makes you want to invite your neighbors over for a slice of warm apple pie… just like practically every other home in your neighborhood!
According to ‘The Spruce,’ some of the most common elements of the modern farmhouse style include reclaimed wood, barnboard details, big comfortable and/or pine furniture, wide plank floors, wrought iron accents, and vintage accessories. Individually, these are all aspects that we enjoy quite a bit. However, we’re not sure if this is how we’d personally want to decorate the entirety of our homes.

This Was Just Posted On A Home Remodeling Group I'm In. Apparently, The Home Owner Has Slight Regrets On Their Bathroom Tile Choice Now That It Has Been Installed And Is Seeking Suggestions On How To "Tone It Down."
There’s a certain sense of beauty and wholesomeness when all the separate elements of your home match. At the same time, there’s a feeling of sterility and fakeness that comes with that, too: your home is where you actually live. It might not feel like that if everything’s ‘perfect,’ matching, and orderly. Then again, it really depends on what you personally value the most. Some people enjoy a bit of light chaos. Others want everything to be neat, tidy, and covered in neutral colors.
As we’ve written earlier here on Bored Panda, your main focus as the owner of your house is to make sure that you’re happy with your living space. For example, if you think that creating an atmosphere of comfort is the most important thing, then the modern farmhouse style might actually be for you (though many people would think that you deserve better). Meanwhile, if you place a lot of importance on creating a home for yourself that is unlike any other, then focus on that, instead of buying what everyone else is.

However, don’t for a minute assume that you’ll wow absolutely everyone with your sense of aesthetics. There will always be someone who has an issue with your interior and knick-knacks, no matter how carefully you’ve selected everything. That’s why it’s important to know for a fact that you love where you live. Otherwise, if you aim to please everyone, you might end up disappointed if your giant wall spoons and wrought metal accents (bought on sale, probably) don’t make them as happy as you wanted them to be.

Not the same thing. That's a sentimental thing that specific to your family. It's not a decorating idea that you're trying to get others to follow along with. My dad made a bassinet for me when I was born that swings back and forth. Each end was a giant bunny beautifully hand-painted, and the bassinet had a pole on each end that would rest between each Bunny's ears so that the bassinet could swing back and forth so I could be rocked to sleep. I have one of those 4 ft tall plywood bunnies hanging on the wall in my house. The bunny is wearing overalls. I love it dearly.

This list is strange. Some of these things are great - the crate shelves? The private bunkbeds? the cast iron pans up on the wall? Awesome. I would've killed for bunk beds like that over the summer where I had to sleep on the top bunk and consistently disturb someone. Some things are a little.....weird/not my taste but don't hurt anybody. And then some things...what are they doing on this list? A giant cobra chair? Ben Franklin wallpaper? That's modern farmhouse?

I'm with you, the more intricate it is, the more nooks and crannies it has, the harder it is to keep clean. Get it out of here. --- in my twenties I invested in a beautiful end table with a Japanese design. It had basically a wooden web design between the side of each leg and the top. So eight web pieces. Nothing but dust in those holes. I was happy when I got rid of it. I bet I can find a picture of something similar.

The content came from an online "hate" group of mfh design that points out it's overuse of various elements. I didn't dislike mfh until my neighbors remodeled their entire house in the style. Everything is white, grey, clunky and impersonal. I'm glad they didn't do the cutesy sayings all over. That being said, I loved the pipe shelving with wooden boxes and cast iron cooking display. In that pic they were pointing out the mismatched "word" pics on the soffit.

Though the modern farmhouse look isn’t my favorite, almost none of these photos actually showed that design aesthetic. These all showed things that fell more under rustic, shabby chic, or steam punk. I had to say it.

There is no steampunk in these pictures even the "steampunk" vanity isn't anywhere near steampunk .(shortened list)

I can just imagine what y'all would think of my painted portrait of Big Bird that's hanging in my living room.😂 Everyone else would probably question our sanity, but he was my husband's childhood hero and it was a gift that he cherishes.

Not the same thing. That's a sentimental thing that specific to your family. It's not a decorating idea that you're trying to get others to follow along with. My dad made a bassinet for me when I was born that swings back and forth. Each end was a giant bunny beautifully hand-painted, and the bassinet had a pole on each end that would rest between each Bunny's ears so that the bassinet could swing back and forth so I could be rocked to sleep. I have one of those 4 ft tall plywood bunnies hanging on the wall in my house. The bunny is wearing overalls. I love it dearly.

This list is strange. Some of these things are great - the crate shelves? The private bunkbeds? the cast iron pans up on the wall? Awesome. I would've killed for bunk beds like that over the summer where I had to sleep on the top bunk and consistently disturb someone. Some things are a little.....weird/not my taste but don't hurt anybody. And then some things...what are they doing on this list? A giant cobra chair? Ben Franklin wallpaper? That's modern farmhouse?

My reaction? If I can't clean it, it is banned. Otherwise please yourself. Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn. But I do have a hate on for grubby unfinished wooden crates in kitchens. Only suitable for student book collections when you can't even afford Ikea .

I'm with you, the more intricate it is, the more nooks and crannies it has, the harder it is to keep clean. Get it out of here. --- in my twenties I invested in a beautiful end table with a Japanese design. It had basically a wooden web design between the side of each leg and the top. So eight web pieces. Nothing but dust in those holes. I was happy when I got rid of it. I bet I can find a picture of something similar.

The content came from an online "hate" group of mfh design that points out it's overuse of various elements. I didn't dislike mfh until my neighbors remodeled their entire house in the style. Everything is white, grey, clunky and impersonal. I'm glad they didn't do the cutesy sayings all over. That being said, I loved the pipe shelving with wooden boxes and cast iron cooking display. In that pic they were pointing out the mismatched "word" pics on the soffit.

Alot of these aren't even bad, it's just normal stuff or even pretty cool decorations that I'd have in my home
