Baskets, wood, plants and metal accents are all common. Grey and white are common colors in the farmhouse home decor style, as are green and blue. Less refined furniture and accessories are present.

Here are some of the best farmhouse decor steals that are available on Amazon. These items are all super highly rated and reviewed – so you know that you are getting a quality item.

Rustic Wood Floating Shelves
Nothing says farm decor like rustic wood pieces with metal accents. It’s one of the defining features of the style. These shelves have both the unfinished wood and the metal accent pieces. Also, who doesn’t need more room to store things in their life? These shelves are great for displaying cute plants, pictures, or storing DVD’s.
Rustic Wall Decor
Another key thing you need to get the antique farmhouse feel in your house is rustic wall decor. Cheap farmhouse wall decor is a must have for your house. Think mason jars, wood signs, burlap, and flowers. These mason jar sconces fill all of those qualities! The mason jars have pixie lights in them that automatically turn off after 6 hours. They come with fake hydrangeas in them, but you can swap them out for any flowers that you like easily.
Witty signs and sayings
Another key feature to country farmhouse decor is witting signs and sayings. This is where you will find large wooden signs proclaiming “Welcome!”, or in this case, lamenting a lack of toilet paper. I love the witty signs in the bathroom, they take a traditionally boring space and add some fun to it. This small wooden sign would be great on a shelf in the bathroom, or on top of the toilet.
Mason Jars
Mason jars are everywhere in farmhouse decor. You can find them in the kitchen or bathroom as soap dispensers (with the help of neat addons like these pumps). They also work great on a dining room table holding flowers. You can even use mason jars for their original purpose – canning food. 😉
White Ceramics
White ceramic items are quite popular in farmhouse decor. Rae Dunn inspired items are very popular in farmhouse decor. These items are often quite plain with basic text on them. The messages on the items are usually what it is or what it does, with some items having more witty and charming messages. Since these items are so plain there are quite a few different versions available made by tons of different sellers.
Houseplants
A huge part of the farmhouse home decor trend is indoor plants. You will see succulents, herbs, and all sorts of plants all throughout the house. Often, there will be more than one plant per room. Now, if you have a black thumb like me, or just don’t have the time to care for all of those plants you can go with fake plants. Fake plants have gotten remarkably realistic looking. Take this cute plant in a grey paper pot for example. It is absolutely adorable looking, and you don’t have to worry about killing it! Win!
Plaid fabrics
Remember how I said that the farmhouse decor style was remembering older, long gone days? Well, part of that is plaid. Plaid is quite common in farmhouse decor. You can find it in throw pillows, accent rugs, and hand towels. Basically anywhere that you are using fabric, plaid is a good choice if you are looking for a farmhouse style. Just remember – a little bit of this fabric goes a long way. I would stick to only one or two plaid pieces per room. Otherwise you risk looking like you were invaded by lumberjacks. 🙂
Shiplap
Shiplap is another common decorating trend seen in modern farmhouse decor. Shiplap is a type of wooden board with tongue and groove. It was originally used as exterior siding for buildings like homes, sheds, barns, and outhouses. Today the antique farmhouse style usually incorporates elements of shiplap. This can be a whole wall covered in replica shiplap, a part of the wall covered in thin stick on vinyl panels to give the same effect, or a wooden sign or other element (like this clock) that was made with shiplap.
DIY Farmhouse Decor projects
DIY Farmhouse decor projects are a great way to save money. These are good choices if you have the time to spend on a DIY project. Remember from earlier, you have to consider if the time it takes to do something is worth the savings in money. Sometimes, choosing a DIY home decor project isn’t about saving money, but is about getting something “just right”. Make sure that when you are picking your Farmhouse Decor DIY project that you understand *why* you are choosing to DIY.
