    My Paradissi

    If you’re lucky enough to have a fireplace in your bedroom, like in the serene farmhouse bedroom shown here, you’re already halfway to country farmhouse style.

    Repurpose Found Objects

    Wall covered with shutters

    Thistlewood Farms

    Repurposing, recycling, and “making do” are ways of life on the farm, and that outlook extends to the decor. While old shutters are a great substitute for a traditional headboard, you can take the idea even further, as decorating blog Thistlewood Farms did here.

    An entire wall of old shutters is an unexpected—and entirely wonderful—way to add whimsy and eye-catching style to a farmhouse bedroom.

    Add Cafe Curtains

    Becca Interiors

    Cafe curtains in the window above the bed of this farmhouse bedroom from Becca Interiors lend the space a timeless feel while gently filtering natural light.

    About This Term: Primary Bedroom

    Many real estate associations as well as the Real Estate Standards Organization have classified the term "Master Bedroom" as potentially discriminatory. "Primary Bedroom" is the name now widely used among the real estate community and better reflects the purpose of the room.

Layering a quilt over a bedspread, as in the room shown here, is another hallmark of the farmhouse style.

FAQ
  • What is farmhouse style decor?

  • Can you mix farmhouse style with another style of decor?

    Old frames, shelves with vintage items, wood signs, mirrors framed with reclaimed wood, and mason jar sconces are just a few thoughts for wall hangings to put in a farmhouse style room.
