If you're already imagining the decor of your dreams, look no further than these stylish ideas that you can apply to your home.
Weathered Wood
Farmhouse and rustic design are in a perpetual love relationship. That’s why, we highly recommend letting your wood ceiling beams or wall panels shine with their organic look. If you don’t have these features, you can easily find them at your local carpenter to give your ceiling more character. The more weathered the wood pieces are, the merrier. Whether it’s in the shape of wooden foundations, walls, or beams, it would be an alluring addition to your space.

With a simple hardware kit, you can install your door that would look nice in the laundry room, hallway, and even in the living room as a space divider.

Neutral Colour Accent
When playing it safe, we tend to go for neutral colour, right? To amplify and intensify the natural lighting. Go with silvery moon grey, rock white, or grey stone wall paint colour to make you feel calm and welcome at home. And for an attractive farmhouse decor flair, feel free to mismatch the furniture in a contrasting yet harmonious tone of bright green or navy blue. These hues would go well with fresh plants or flowers too.
Wall of Mirrors
Who says mirror, mirror, on the wall is only for the evil queen? This farmhouse decor idea proves otherwise. You can assemble a series of vintage mirrors, antique serving trays and platters to create a "farm-chic" aesthetic, and perhaps most importantly it could quite significantly enlarge your space, thanks to the optical illusion that's strikingly appealing.
Step-ladder Shelf
Step-ladder shelf is one of the easiest farmhouse decors to craft. In no time, you can make your DIY leaning ladder shelf by simply dragging the old ladder out of the attic. Once you’re done cleaning and polishing it, place it in any room you want and hang all your lovely belongings here.

Raw Hanging Shelves
Space-savvy hanging shelves can add a touch of ultra-chic design in any room when done right. Use a natural wooden slab and create holes in each of the four corners, then loop the rope through each side of the board and tie them nicely on the bottom side. When you manage to craft this storage hack, it can hold your favourite books or terrariums. Our tip is to choose a secondary colour and find decorative pieces in this colour to bring your little corner to live.

Shiplaps are interlocking board walls made of wood that are commonly found in barns, farmhouses and other rustic spaces. A bright wall shiplap escalates the room to look even more airy and bright. The good news is, you can also place shiplaps on ceilings, because why not? Our tip is to opt for pine floor, which has the character to match the country setting for a cohesive look.

Opt for an antique, wooden hutch, that you can use to arrange your body care products for a neat display. Now you can enjoy a relaxing and pleasing bathing experience with dedicated space for a glass of red, your favourite read and an aromatic candle.
