MODERN FARMHOUSE HOME DECOR IDEAS
Farmhouse home decor has been a favorite for years, and for good reason. Not only are a lot of neutrals used, but natural textures and used (refinished) furniture pieces are a big part of the look. This, of course means that you can add farmhouse decor to your home without breaking the budget.
It just takes a bit of imagination on your part!
Up until several years ago, the farmhouse look was typically neutral, without much added color. Today, it is more common to start with a neutral background (furniture and wall color) and add colors that suit your fancy. This makes it very simple to refresh a room and spend minimal money, since you are only switching out decor pieces as opposed to furniture.
And while we are on the topic, many of those decor pieces can be painted with chalk paint and repurposed in a color you enjoy! Chalk paint works well on wood, glass, and metal and can generally be used with minimal prep work.

FARMHOUSE HOME DECORATING IDEAS
Below you can see one of my favorite colors to add to my own decor: aqua or sea glass. I have two walls in my living room painted this same color. It isn’t intrusive or overly noticeable, but it provides a pallet off of which to play with. This color looks great with pink added throughout the room.
Other great wall colors are navy blue and pink. They all add a richness to the look of a room, and they create a more colorful look than straight neutrals.
Black is also a great color to add to a wall, baseboards, doors, and other decor items. It adds a nice modern touch to a space. Since black is so dark, it also hides smudges and dirt better than white, and I consider that a big bonus!

DIY FARMHOUSE DECOR IDEAS
When it comes to rustic, farmhouse home decor, it is simple to keep within your decorating budget. All it takes is some imagination and a willingness to try new things.
A cheap and easy way to come up with furniture is to buy it at a yard sale or Facebook Marketplace. You will be surprised how little money you will need to spend to get something amazing. I have repurposed furniture throughout my house, and I have never paid more than $5 for a piece. All you need to do is clean it up and paint it with chalk paint to have a whole new piece for your living room or bedroom. You can see a few of my flips here:

All of those flips were simple and easy to do and all of them were cheap. In fact, that is one of my favorite things about farmhouse home decor: the cost is low, and the look is amazing.
Another easy way to transform a room is with paint. For a small room, all you need is a gallon, and you are set! Painting walls is one of the easiest ways to brighten things up, even though, to be honest, it is one of my least favorite things to do. I always remind myself of the benefits of painting in order to talk myself into doing it!

Did you find some inspiration in any of those ideas? I sure hope so!
Adding rustic touches to your bedroom or kitchen, or even throughout your house is easy. I suggest that you pick a pallet to use throughout your home, if you want the look to flow. Then start working one room at a time. Creating a Pinterest board that you can refer to is a huge help when you are planning and shopping.
Be sure to give yourself lots of time to make your project plans into reality. Trying to redecorate your home over a weekend (or even a month) will be frustrating and stressful. A 6-month or year-long timeline is a better way to go, and if you end up finishing early, great!
Many of these ideas can be used in an apartment. Even if you are unable to paint the walls, you can add lots of lovely touches throughout to make the space a little more “YOU”.
Shopping with your Pinterest board ideas will help you to know what to buy for each room. If you are working on the bathroom but find something for the bedroom, buy it and set it aside until you are ready.
Shopping at yard sales, thrift stores, dollar stores, and Facebook Marketplace will all yield budget-friendly results. If you need to, put a limit on the amount you are willing to spend for a piece. My limit is $5 and will only go over that if the piece is amazing. Even then, my limit is $10. I figure something else will come along in my price range if I keep looking.
Happy decorating, friends!
