25 Farmhouse Decor Ideas That Perfectly Blend Old and New Styles (2024)

Large wooden beams make an all-white room cozy enough for late night hangs. Tie in baskets and mantel decorations in a similar wood type and finish.

A room full of windows makes decorating difficult. While it'll give guests a nature-filled view, it leaves little room to hang mirrors, shelves, or artwork — unless you hang them from the ceiling with an iron pulley and sturdy rope.

Leave shiplap to Chip and Joanna Gaines: Lighten up your kitchen with white paint, tile, and a whitewashed wooden island. If you have open shelves, fill 'em with your prettiest fine China and most-used serveware for instant decoration.

Nail reclaimed wood panels on one wall for an easy statement. Warm up the space by dressing the bed with light colors, patterned pillows, and cozy throws.

A blank canvas is the perfect opportunity to test your DIY skills. If you have an empty wall, nail battery-operated lanterns in evenly spaced rows to illuminate any room.

Create clean lines by nailing shiplap to the walls and ceiling. Hang a black metal chandelier for a nice contrast.

Add an unexpected pop of color by painting half — yes, just half! — of paintings, chairs, shelves, or table legs a vibrant color. Consider it the easiest way to upgrade attic finds that have seen better days.

Turn old barn doors, floor boards, and wood scraps into floating shelves. And if you come across larger wood pieces, use them to make custom benches, tables, and chairs.

Bring in different textures and materials to balance out your home's country charm. Pair an understated metal desk with an antique wooden chair for a country-chic look.

What happens in the pantry, stays in the pantry, especially when you close it off with these frosted French doors. Personalize it with stick-on decals.

If your space is on the smaller side, open it up with light-colored fabrics, curtains, and furniture. Offset the linen with a wicker basket-turned-coffee table and a basket weave jute rug.

Mix and match pillows, throws, and rugs in complementary patterns and colors. But if you really want to make a statement, hang a brass chandelier in the middle of a shiplap-covered ceiling.

Even a farmhouse can have a glimmer of elegance. Just pair the crown molding with peel-and-stick floral wallpaper in a monochromatic hue.

Since your family is the heart of the home, give everyone a place at the table by turning a blank wall into a breakfast nook, complete with a chalkboard for schedules, grocery lists, love notes, and doodles.

A gold pendant light is a subtle way to add sparkle to an otherwise rustic space, like this shiplap-covered bedroom.
