Farmhouse Living Room Finds You Will Adore
Click on the pictures to see about pricing and purchasing!
- Two-Toned Baskets: These are not only functional for your living room but stylish in the most farmhouse sort of way. You can use them to store just about anything! I like to use them to store my kid’s toys, the select few that are ALLOWED to stay in the living room. You can always use them for my favorite function: putting real or faux plants inside! This duo is perfect if you want that farmhouse but even more earthy vibe (good vibes only hehe!)
2. Antique Sign: Okay now farmhouse signs are just a staple. SO if you want that cute farmhouse look, I recommend you start with this really fun “Antiques” sign! I love putting signs above dressers or cabinets or above doorways! Also, This sign is ONLY 10 bucks right now. So make sure to grab it now before it’s gone!
3. Farmhouse Wreath: Wreaths are a good piece to start with when looking for farmhouse decor. They add nice greenery to your space and really “liven” it up!
4. Grain Sack Pillows: These grain sack looking pillows are p-e-r-f-e-c-t for your rustic/farmhouse area. They resemble normal grain sacks used for storing feed for animals back in the day. Again, it adds a rustic feel but it’s also old-timey.
5. Rustic Cabinet: Farmhouse furniture can make or break your space. So I have linked a better-priced cabinet for you guys.
BUT if you want to know how I got my old antique cabinet FOR FREE then head over to this post.
6. The Trusty Jute Rug: This may not be your style, I know when I first thought about adding a jute rug to my living room I scoffed. Too many boho vibes for me. (I do like boho, but I like farmhouse more.) But when my good friend, Jade got one for her room, I fell in love with it! I purchased one off my favorite place to shop, FB Marketplace! Originally $100 I got mine for $30! If you want to see what my living room looks like with this type of rug then head over to my Instagram HERE.
And that’s it for now! I will definitely be writing more about my decor finds. And even decor finds for other styles as well!
Let me know in the comments which home decor style you would like me to write about next!

Other interior designers say farm house has worn out its welcome but I still love it. Do you think that if you decorate with farmhouse style, it has to be the same throughout your home? I also love coastal design and have it in my sunroom. I used touches of turquoise but when I tried to incorporate it with my farm house (cream, black and gold), it felt disjointed. What are your thoughts?
Hi Cathy,
Oh my gosh, I love that you asked!—and I completely understand where you’re coming from.
Farmhouse absolutely still has a place if it feels like you.
Trends are always gonna change, but I personally think the best homes are the ones that reflect YOU!
And YES—you can mix styles in your home!
I actually really like when people are combining styles like farmhouse and coastal. It can be sooo beautiful when done in a way that “flows”, if that makes sense.
The key is to create a thread of cohesiveness that gently ties the spaces together, even if they have different “personalities.”
Here are a few tips to make farmhouse + coastal feel more connected:
* Find overlap in tone or texture. Both styles love natural elements—you could do woods, wovens, cottons, and weathered finishes. That common ground texture is the secret!
* Create a palette that bridges the gap. If your coastal space uses turquoise, try weaving that color (or a dustier, softer version of it) into your farmhouse rooms in small accents—pillows, artwork, or even flowers. And let some of that farmhouse cream or gold show up in your coastal room to return the favor.
* Repeat elements to create rhythm. It’s totally okay for your sunroom to feel a bit more coastal while the kitchen leans farmhouse—but repeating certain finishes (like black iron or light woods) helps everything feel like it’s part of the same story.
The goal isn’t to match—it’s to coordinate. And it sounds like you already have a great eye for what you love. 💛
If you ever want help pulling it all together, I actually teach this in my mini course “Coordinate Your Home: Achieving the Flow”—all about making your home feel like you from room to room without it being chaotic I suppose.
Sorry for the long reply, haha!
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment—I’m cheering you on and am more than happy to help even more, Cathy!
