The Best Farmhouse Décor Design Ideas, Tips & Tricks
Farmhouse décor has always been popular and now you can give your home some rustic charm with some easy tricks.
The Finest Farmhouse Kitchen Decor
Farmhouse kitchen décor is by far the most popular home improvement project for DIYers. While classic looks are great, we loved this coastal twist from Beth. Starting with an all-white farmhouse kitchen, Beth added her own touches. To achieve her coastal farmhouse look, adding mint green to the lower cabinets was crucial. From there, a rope-look chandelier and subway tiles completed the look. For us, this blend of styles produces a fresh but classic vibe. Get tutorial here

Top Farmhouse Wall Decor Ideas
If you don’t want to decorate an entire room, focusing on a single wall can have just as much impact. As you can see, this farmhouse wall decor required just three materials. After sourcing 900 square feet of ¼” pine for free, Caroline cut the boards into random lengths. Nailing them to the wall, the fits were deliberately left less than perfect. Finished in watered-down white ceiling paint, the end result is brilliantly barn-like. Get tutorial here
Stylish Farmhouse Decor Shutters
Opening up a whole new look is easy when you make your own farmhouse shutters. Installing a barndoor is impractical but shutters are a viable alternative. Essentially scaled down doors, these wall features can bring some texture to any room. As Colleen’s project shows, a flea market bargain can be upcycled with white paint, sandpaper and old drain pipe fashioned into a faux flowerpot. Get tutorial here
Uplifting Farmhouse Stair Styling
Don’t think you can finesse your stairs with the farmhouse look? Think again… Hometalker Tara’s farmhouse was almost perfect. However, with stairs covered in old carpet, she wanted to bring back some authenticity. Removing the material, she replaced the plywood steps with unfinished pine. After staining and coating with urethane, the edges were painted white to make the wood pop. This contrast in colors made her farmhouse stairs look extremely stylish. Get tutorial here

Like walls, farmhouse decor furniture projects can make a huge statement with very little effort. Sometimes all you need to upscale some old furniture is paint. As you can see from this cabinet, pastel colors are perfect for farmhouse makeovers. After purchasing the unit for $35, Colleen filled any holes and layered on Silverplate paint. Then, using 120 sandpaper, she created patches of light and dark for a real rustic vibe. Get tutorial here
