Katie T’s Farmhouse Home Fun Fact #6

Before I jump into how an accent chair can upgrade your farmhouse living room, I want to mention a fun fact about myself! This is a new section I’m including on my blog posts so my readers can get to know me on a personal level!

So, for my sixth fun fact, I want to share that I LOVE shopping at Marshall’s! 

A few months ago, I made a reel directed toward men who struggle to find a gift for the woman in their lives. I said all you need to do is go to Marshalls and pick something out in the home goods section!

Of course, my husband didn’t think it would be that easy. That he couldn’t just “pick something”. So he tested it out the following Christmas. He got me mason jars with glass lids as a stocking stuffer. 

He got some funny looks from the cashiers when he was purchasing them, but I do love them! I kind of wish he bought more!

Choosing the Perfect Farmhouse Accent Chair

Before you start searching for an accent chair, you must consider the area it will reside in. If you have a small farmhouse living room, space will be limited so, you’ll want to make sure the dimensions of the chair will fill the space appropriately.

5 Steps to Transform Your Living Room with a Luxury Accent Chair

On the flip side, if you have a large area to fill, you’ll want to opt for a chair that accounts for the additional space. If the chair is too small, it will look odd and out of place.

You’ll also need to consider if there will be any additions to the accent chair such as a plant, mirror, lamp, basket, etc. These decorations will also help fill the space and add those extra touches to make the accent chair look welcoming and inviting. 

Blending Rustic and Modern Elements

When choosing the perfect farmhouse accent chair, it’s important to consider how to blend rustic and modern elements seamlessly. This balance between the old and the new will help create a unique and visually appealing look for your living room. 

By carefully selecting pieces that incorporate both rustic and modern design elements, you can achieve a charming and sophisticated aesthetic that is both timeless and on-trend.

One approach to blending rustic and modern elements is to focus on the materials and finishes of the accent chair. Look for chairs that feature natural, distressed, or reclaimed wood frames, which add a rustic touch to the overall design. 

5 Steps to Transform Your Living Room with a Farmhouse Accent Chair

Combine this with sleek and clean-lined upholstery in neutral colors or modern patterns to incorporate the modern aesthetic. This juxtaposition of textures creates a visually interesting and dynamic piece that captures the essence of a modern farmhouse.

Another way to achieve the perfect blend is by considering the shape and silhouette of the accent chair. Traditional farmhouse chairs often feature cozy and oversized designs, while modern chairs tend to have more streamlined and minimalist forms. 

By selecting a chair that merges these characteristics, such as a modern chair with a slightly oversized frame or a traditional chair with sleek upholstery, you can achieve the desired balance between rustic and modern elements.

Additionally, don’t forget to pay attention to the details.

Enhancing Comfort and Functionality

Once you have found the perfect blend of rustic and modern elements in your accent chair, you can move on to enhancing comfort and functionality in your modern farmhouse living room. This ensures your space is visually appealing and also practical and enjoyable for everyday living. 

In a modern farmhouse living room, comfort is key. After all, this is a space where you’ll spend countless hours relaxing, entertaining, and unwinding. 

With the right accent chair, you can create a cozy and inviting atmosphere that encourages relaxation and guests to stay awhile.

Consider opting for an accent chair with plush cushions and deep seating. This will not only provide a comfortable place to sit, but it will also add an element of warmth and softness to the overall design. 

Look for chairs upholstered in durable fabrics that can withstand everyday use, such as linen or cotton blends, which are both stylish and practical choices for a farmhouse aesthetic.

Cozy Modern Farmhouse Accent Chair Transforms Living Room

Functionality is also important when it comes to choosing an accent chair for your modern farmhouse living room. Think about how you plan to use the space and what activities will take place there. 

If you enjoy reading or curling up with a good book, a chair with a built-in reading lamp and side pockets for storing books may be a great addition. 

Alternatively, if you often host gatherings or have a large family, consider selecting chairs with armrests and sturdy frames to accommodate all your guests comfortably.

Creating a Focal Point in Your Living Room

Consideration of the accent chair’s placement within your living room layout is essential to create a focal point that truly transforms the space. 

While you want the chair to stand out, it should also seamlessly integrate with the existing furniture. 

Experiment with various placement options to strike the perfect balance between enhancing the overall design and maximizing functionality. 

By achieving a harmonious combination of comfort, functionality, and aesthetics, your modern farmhouse living room will become a practical and enjoyable space for everyday living. 

Styling Tips for the Ultimate Farmhouse Look

First and foremost, it’s important to consider the color palette. Opt for neutral tones, such as whites, beiges, grays, browns, and muted earthy hues. 

How an Accent Chair Can Transform Your Living Room

These colors provide a blank canvas that allows other elements in the room to shine, while also evoking a sense of simplicity and warmth that is characteristic of farmhouse style. 

To add visual interest and depth to the space, incorporate textures and materials. Think reclaimed wood, wicker baskets, and cozy fabrics like a chunky knit blanket. These elements will give your living room that rustic farmhouse vibe, creating an atmosphere that feels both lived-in and elegant.

Lastly, don’t underestimate the power of lighting. Farmhouse style is all about creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, so opt for soft, ambient lighting. 

Consider adding a statement floor lamp with a bronze finish or a set of vintage-inspired wall sconces. These lighting fixtures will provide ample illumination and serve as decorative elements that tie the entire room together.

How an Accent Chair Can Transform Your Modern Farmhouse Living Room

Now you know how an accent chair can transform your modern farmhouse living room! By carefully selecting the perfect chair that blends rustic and modern elements, enhancing comfort and functionality, and creating a focal point, you can achieve the ultimate farmhouse look.

Essential Items for the Kitchen

When setting up your new home, one area that deserves special attention is the kitchen. As the heart of the home, the kitchen is where delicious meals are prepared, memories are made, and conversations flow.

First and foremost, investing in high-quality cookware is a must. A set of stainless steel frying pans, saucepans in various sizes, and a sturdy stockpot will cover all your basic cooking needs. Don’t forget to include a baking sheet and a casserole dish. 

No kitchen is complete without utensils and gadgets to help you whip up culinary masterpieces. Make sure your kitchen drawer is stocked with essentials like spatulas, whisks, tongs, and a can opener. Utensils such as a peeler, grater, and garlic press will come in handy for effortless meal preparation.

To tackle any recipe, you’ll need a reliable set of knives.

Invest in a chef’s knife, a serrated bread knife, and a paring knife to cover all your cutting and slicing needs. Don’t forget to include a cutting board for a safe and hygienic food preparation surface.

When it comes to food prep and storage, airtight containers are a game-changer. They not only keep your pantry staples fresh but also help you stay organized. Stock up on storage containers in various sizes to store leftovers, dry ingredients, and snacks. A set of glass food storage containers is a sustainable and stylish alternative.

Don’t forget to invest in a set of dinnerware including plates, bowls, and glasses to set a beautiful table for your family and guests.

In addition to the basics, there are a few additional items that can enhance your kitchen experience.

Consider adding a blender for refreshing smoothies, a coffee maker for that much-needed caffeine fix, and a toaster for crispy morning toast. A set of measuring cups and spoons, a kitchen-aid, and oven mitts to retrieve your delicious recipes.

Creating a Cozy and Functional Dining Room

First and foremost, a dining table and chairs set the foundation for your dining room. Choose a style and size that suits your space and personal taste. Whether you prefer a rustic farmhouse table or a sleek modern design, make sure it’s sturdy and comfortable.

Next, lighting is key to creating the right ambiance in your dining room. Consider a statement chandelier or pendant light to hang above the table, adding both functionality and visual appeal. If your dining area is smaller or lacks overhead lighting, wall sconces or floor lamps can provide the perfect solution.

Storage is another important aspect of a functional dining room. A buffet not only offers extra space for storage, but it can also serve as a stylish focal point. Opt for a piece that complements the style of your dining table and chairs.

To complete the cozy vibe, add some softness underfoot with an area rug. Not only will it visually anchor the dining space, but it will also provide warmth and comfort.

Choose a rug that is durable and easy to clean, as it’s bound to experience spills and food stains.

Lastly, don’t forget about the little touches that can make a big difference. Decorative accents such as artwork, mirrors, and plants can add personality and warmth to your dining room.

And of course, no dining room is complete without tableware and serving pieces. Invest in a set of quality dinnerware, silverware, and glassware that suits your style and the type of entertaining you enjoy.

Bathroom Necessities for Your Everyday Routine

By paying attention to the smaller details, you can transform your bathroom into a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation. Whether you’re starting your day with a refreshing shower or winding down with a luxurious bath, having the right bathroom necessities can make all the difference. From practical items to luxury, here’s a checklist of must-haves for your everyday bathroom routine.

First and foremost, stock up on the basics. Make sure you have an ample supply of towels, hand towels, and washcloths. Investing in soft and absorbent materials will enhance your daily routine. Consider having different sets of towels for different purposes, such as a set specifically for guests.

Next, give some thought to bathroom storage. Having a designated place for all your toiletries and essentials will help keep your space organized and clutter-free.

Install shelves or cabinets to store items like extra toilet paper, towels, and cleaning supplies. A stylish vanity or storage unit can also serve as a focal point in your bathroom while providing functional storage.

No bathroom is complete without the essential toiletries. Keep your cabinets stocked with items like toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo, conditioner, and any other personal care products.

Consider investing in quality products that cater to your specific needs, whether it’s sensitive skin or a particular hair type.

In addition to the basics, consider adding a touch of luxury to your bathroom. Treat yourself to some indulgent bath products like bath bombs, scented candles, or bath oils. These little luxuries can make your bathing experience feel like a spa retreat. Don’t forget to include a plush bath mat and a shower caddy to keep everything within easy reach.

Finally, pay attention to the details that can enhance the ambiance of your bathroom. Consider adding a stylish shower curtain and matching accessories for those moments of ultimate relaxation. Plants can also bring life and freshness to your bathroom, creating a soothing atmosphere.

Bedroom Essentials for a Restful Retreat

Now it’s time to focus on your bedroom. Invest in a high-quality mattress that suits your preferred level of firmness. Remember, a good night’s sleep starts with the right foundation.

Pair your mattress with a set of soft, breathable sheets and a cozy duvet or comforter. Opt for bedding that not only feels great against your skin but also complements the overall aesthetic of your bedroom.

To enhance the ambiance, lighting plays a crucial role. Consider installing dimmer switches or using bedside lamps with adjustable brightness levels. This way, you can create a soothing atmosphere that promotes relaxation. Additionally, blackout curtains or blinds can help block out unwanted light, ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep.

Storage solutions are essential for maintaining a clutter-free and serene bedroom. Look for dressers, wardrobes, or under-bed storage options that provide ample space for your clothes, shoes, and personal belongings.

Keeping your bedroom organized and tidy will contribute to a stress-free environment.

Lastly, think about incorporating elements that add a touch of luxury and relaxation. Soft rugs or carpets under your feet provide a cozy feeling, especially when you first step out of bed. Consider adding decorative throw pillows or cushions to your bed, providing both comfort and style. A cozy reading nook with a comfortable chair and a small side table can also create a peaceful corner for unwinding before bedtime.

Living Room Comfort and Entertaining

Now, let’s turn our attention to the heart of the home: the living room. This is where you’ll spend countless hours relaxing, entertaining guests, and creating lasting memories. To ensure your living room is a haven of comfort and a hub of entertainment, there are a few must-have items to consider.

First, a comfortable seating arrangement is essential. Whether it’s a plush sofa, a set of cozy armchairs, or a combination of both, make sure you choose pieces that not only look inviting but also provide ample support. Consider the size of your space and the number of people you typically host to determine the right seating configuration for your needs.

Next, let’s talk about entertainment. A television accompanied by a quality sound system, can take your living room to the next level. Whether you’re hosting movie nights with friends or enjoying a quiet evening curled up with a good book, having a reliable source of entertainment can enhance your overall living room experience.

In addition to the visual and auditory elements, don’t forget about the ambiance. Soft lighting, such as table lamps or floor lamps, can create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Speaking of ambiance, don’t underestimate the power of decor. Wall art, decorative pillows, cozy blankets, and accent pieces can all contribute to the overall comfort and aesthetic appeal of your living room.

Lastly, let’s not forget about storage. A well-organized living room can make a world of difference. Consider investing in a stylish media console or shelving unit to keep your electronics, books, and other items neatly stored away. This not only helps to maintain a clutter-free space but also adds a touch of sophistication to your living room.

Laundry Room Must-Haves for Effortless Cleaning

A well-organized and functional laundry room can make the daunting task of cleaning clothes feel a little less overwhelming. As you settle into your new home, it’s important to ensure that your laundry room is equipped. From practical tools to convenient storage solutions, here are a few essential laundry room must-haves that will help you achieve effortless cleaning.

First, investing in a reliable washer and dryer set is crucial. Look for models that offer various washing and drying options to accommodate different fabric types and load sizes. Consider energy-efficient machines that can help you save on utility bills in the long run. 

In addition to the washer and dryer, having a laundry hamper is also a must-have. 

When it comes to efficient cleaning, having the right cleaning supplies is a must. Make sure you have a stock of laundry detergent, fabric softener, stain removers, and dryer sheets on hand. It’s also a good idea to invest in a drying rack or clothesline for air-drying delicate items or when you want to save energy by avoiding the dryer.

Lastly, don’t overlook the importance of storage in your laundry room. Consider installing shelves or cabinets where you can store extra detergent, cleaning supplies, and other laundry essentials. This will help keep your laundry room tidy and functional, allowing you to easily access everything you need.

Organizational Tools for the Garage

With all the excitement of moving into a new home and settling in, it’s easy to overlook the garage. But, as any homeowner knows, the garage can quickly become a catch-all for all sorts of items. Whether it’s tools, sporting equipment, holiday decorations, or gardening supplies it can get cluttered. To ensure that your garage remains an organized and functional space, it’s essential to invest in a few key organizational tools.

First and foremost, consider installing shelving units or cabinets in your garage. These will provide valuable vertical storage space and allow you to keep items off the floor. You can use these shelves to store tools, paint cans, and other frequently used items, keeping them within easy reach.

Investing in clear plastic storage bins is also a smart move. These bins are ideal for storing seasonal items, such as holiday decorations or summer/winter gear.

Labeling each bin will help you quickly identify its contents. This makes it a breeze to locate items when you need them.

Additionally, using stackable bins will maximize your available storage space. Allowing you to efficiently store a large number of items without taking up too much floor space.

Finally, don’t forget to include a workbench or a dedicated workspace in your garage. This will provide a designated area for DIY projects, repairs, or simply having a place to work on hobbies. With a sturdy workbench, you can keep your tools organized and have a surface for various tasks.

Click here for a full list of essential tools every homeowner should have.

Setting Up a Productive Home Office

Having a designated space for work will not only help you stay focused and organized but also create a clear boundary between your professional and personal life.

Start by choosing a room or area in your new home that can be dedicated solely to work. Ideally, this space should be separate from the distractions of daily household activities. A spare bedroom, a corner in the living room, or even a section of your basement can be transformed into an office.

Now that you’ve identified the location, it’s time to furnish your home office with the essentials. First and foremost, invest in a comfortable and ergonomically designed chair that provides proper support for your back. Remember, you’ll be spending a significant amount of time sitting, so prioritizing comfort is essential for long-term productivity.

Next, consider your work surface.

A spacious desk with ample surface area will allow you to spread out your documents.

It also allows you to set up your computer, and have room for any additional equipment you may need. Additionally, incorporating storage solutions into your desk, such as drawers or shelves, will help keep your workspace organized and clutter-free.

In addition to furniture and a work surface, ensure that your home office is equipped with the necessary technology. A reliable internet connection, a printer/scanner, and a personalized desktop are all standard requirements for most professionals. 

Finally, don’t forget to personalize your home office with items that inspire and motivate you. Plants, artwork, or even a vision board can add a touch of creativity and make your workspace feel more inviting. Remember, your home office should reflect your personality. Create a space where you feel energized and ready to tackle any task.

5 Modern Farmhouse Living room ideas

Striking Color Combinations

One of the key aspects of a modern farmhouse living room design in 2023 is the use of striking color combinations. This trend allows homeowners to infuse their spaces with personality and create a visual impact that is sure to impress.

In 2023, modern farmhouse living rooms are all about embracing a natural pallet with an accompanying bold and vibrant hue. 

Unique Bookshelf Décor and Book Aesthetic

One popular use of this combination is pairing neutral tones with bold-colored decor. This combination creates a striking contrast that adds depth and visual interest to the space. Consider incorporating vibrant accents through throw pillows or seasonal decor. 

For those who prefer a more dramatic look, deep matte blacks and vibrant gold/copper tones go a long way.

This striking color combination creates a luxurious and contemporary feel in a modern farmhouse living room. 

Copper Tea Pot with Books for Bookshelf Aesthetic

Consider incorporating matte black, gold, or copper through a curtain rod, picture frame, lamp, or decor. It doesn’t have to be an excessive color throughout the living room, just something to accent with.

Mixing Old with New

Mixing old with new is a timeless design concept that adds character and depth to any space. It’s especially fitting for a modern farmhouse living room in 2023. 

By combining traditional farmhouse elements with contemporary touches, you can create a unique and eclectic space. This space showcases your style and tells a story.

One way to achieve this mix of old and new is through furniture selection. Consider incorporating vintage pieces like a distressed leather armchair or a reclaimed wood coffee table.

DIY Farmhouse Side Table After
Alongside the vintage pieces add modern items such as a sleek sectional or a minimalist bookshelf.

This blend of styles adds visual interest and creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Another way to bring together old and new is through the use of contrasting textures. Pairing rough-hewn wood beams with smooth and glossy surfaces creates a captivating juxtaposition. This combination not only adds visual appeal but also engages the senses, making the room feel dynamic and multi-dimensional.

Brick Fireplace for Modern Farmhouse Living Room

Incorporating antique or vintage accessories is another effective way to infuse a sense of history into a modern farmhouse living room. Consider displaying a collection of old maps or vintage photographs on the walls, or adding a weathered wooden sign.

In my case, I added a vintage bucket and teapot. These timeless pieces not only add charm and nostalgia to the space but also serve as conversation starters.

Embracing Natural Materials

By seamlessly blending classic and contemporary elements, your modern farmhouse living room already exudes a unique charm. However, going a step further and embracing natural materials can elevate the overall aesthetic and ambiance of your space. 

Natural materials add freshness, depth, and stability to the room by connecting you with the beauty of the outdoors.

One way to incorporate natural materials is by introducing wooden elements into your living room. Consider opting for reclaimed wood furniture pieces or adding wooden beams to the ceiling for an authentic farmhouse feel. The rich grain and earthy tones of wood instantly create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

In addition to wood, stone and brick accents can further enhance the natural appeal of your living room. Exposed brick walls or a stone fireplace not only add a rustic touch but also serve as striking focal points.

These natural elements bring a sense of timelessness and authenticity to the space, reminding us of the farmhouse roots while staying in line with modern design sensibilities.

Adding plants is another great way to bring the outdoors in.

For example, my fig tree and peace lily are some of the many plants I own. I love the feeling I get when I walk into the room because of the benefits they produce. 

By embracing natural materials in your modern farmhouse living room, you create a harmonious blend of classic and contemporary styles. This seamless integration sets the stage for the next section, where we explore how cozy textures and fabrics can add depth and comfort to your living space in 2023.

Cozy Textures and Fabrics

By incorporating cozy textures and fabrics into your modern farmhouse living room, you can elevate the comfort and warmth of the space to new heights. Soft and plush materials not only add a touch of luxury but also create an inviting atmosphere that encourages relaxation and coziness.

One way to introduce cozy textures and fabrics is through your choice of seating. Depending on the size of your living room, opt for oversized and overstuffed sofas and armchairs, upholstered in inviting fabrics.

These materials not only provide a tactile experience but also add a sense of opulence and coziness to the room. Pair these pieces with richly textured throw pillows and blankets in warm hues and earthy tones to create a welcoming and snug environment.

In addition to seating, consider incorporating textured elements throughout the room. A plush rug made from natural fibers like wool or jute can add warmth underfoot and create a cozy foundation for the space. Layering multiple rugs with different textures can also add visual interest and depth to the room.

Another thing to consider when it comes to window treatments is using fabrics with a soft and tactile feel. Opt for curtains or blinds made from materials like linen or cotton, which not only enhance the natural aesthetic of your modern farmhouse living room but also add a touch of coziness. These light and airy fabrics allow ample natural light to flood the space, creating a welcoming and spacious ambiance.

By embracing cozy textures, you can transform your modern farmhouse living room into a haven of comfort and relaxation. The seamless integration of natural materials and plush textiles sets the stage for exploring personalized and eclectic touches. These integrations further enhance the charm and character of your living space.

Personalized and Eclectic Touches

Adding personalized and eclectic touches to your beautiful modern farmhouse living room allows you to infuse your unique style and personality into the space. 

One way to achieve this is by incorporating one-of-a-kind vintage pieces. Hunt for treasures at flea markets or antique stores and showcase them as focal points in your living room. 

Modern Farmhouse Stove in the Livingroom

Whether it’s a vintage coffee table chest or, like in my case, a coal stove in the fireplace. These distinct items will add a sense of history and intrigue to your space.

Another way to bring personalized touches to your living room is through art and accessories. Displaying artwork that reflects your interests and passions can instantly create a sense of authenticity and individuality. 

Consider showcasing a collection of modern abstract paintings that resonate with your aesthetic or a realistic piece. For example, I painted this creative when I was in college. It’s one of my favorite pieces and was even on display in an art show!

Lastly, don’t forget about the power of personal mementos and family heirlooms. Displaying cherished photographs, heirlooms, or sentimental items can help create a warm and inviting atmosphere. 

Whether it’s a collection of framed family photos or a beloved gift from a family member. These personal touches add depth and meaning to your modern farmhouse living room.

Unique Book Aesthetic as your Bookshelf Décor

By infusing your unique style and incorporating elements that hold sentimental value, you can transform your living room into a space that is not only visually appealing but also deeply personal. 

5 Modern Farmhouse Living Room Ideas for 2023

Incorporating these 5 modern farmhouse living room ideas for 2023 will transform your space into a haven that effortlessly balances elegance and comfort. By experimenting with striking color combinations, mixing old with new, embracing natural materials, incorporating cozy textures and fabrics, and adding personalized and eclectic touches, you can create a living room that truly represents your unique style and taste.

Essential Decorating Techniques to Implement

The core fundamentals of design are emphasis, alignment/balance, contrast, repetition, movement, proportion, and white space. These fundamentals are the foundation of the 7 techniques I have shared below.

Escape the “Uniform” Look

You want your decorations to have a balanced feel without being uniform. The fundamentals of design apply to this technique.

For example, my built-in shelves have an array of different decorations. I’ve implemented the following techniques:

Fall Bookshelf Décor with Spray Painted Books
  • Alignment/Balance: Some decorations are towards the front, others towards the back. 
  • Proportion: The decorations are all sorts of shapes and sizes
  • White Space: Especially near the larger items, there is space so the decorations are not overly crowded. Notice that some decorations have more white space than others to avoid the uniform look.

Whether it’s your kitchen shelves, built-ins, or even a flower arrangement, you want to space things out so they complement each other without looking uniform.

Stay with a Color Pallet

Sticking with a similar color pallet throughout the house is an important technique as well! Obviously, if you’re renting or aren’t in a position to renovate, then this technique might be a little tricker. But don’t worry because there are ways around it! For example, a throw rug is the perfect way to add a different color to the floor. 

Coffee Bar Décor for a Modern Farmhouse

My coffee station is an example of where I stay with the same color pallet. The whites and neutrals all work together for the feel of perfection. The fundamentals that I implemented here in relation to staying within the same color pallet are: 

  • Emphasis: the color orange on the tea tin and caramel container pops out against the whites and neutrals. 
  • Alignment/balance: all the colors work together and balance each other out.
  • Contrast: the black farmhouse hardware against the white paint of the furniture.

Incorporate Textures

Textures are another technique when it comes to decorating. For example, I have added pillows and a rug to my screened-in porch to add texture.

Cozy Farmhouse Living Space Outside

In relation to this decorating technique, the top fundamentals of design I have implemented on my screened-in porch are: 

  • Emphasis: the softness of the cushions emphasizes the desire to sit and enjoy the moment.
  • Contrast: the rug and flag texture breaks up the surface to attract the eye to the change.

Odd Numbers are the Way to Go

Not always, but often decorating with odd numbers is the best way to go. You have to evaluate the situation, but typically speaking, if you decorate with an even amount of decorations, you run the risk of it being too balanced.

5 Farmhouse Master Bedroom Decor Styling Ideas- Katie T's Home

For example, the whiskey barrel in the master bedroom has 3 items on it. The odd number of decorations helps balance the whiskey barrel.

In relation to the odd numbers technique, my whiskey barrel exemplifies these fundamentals of design:

  • Alignment/Balance: the barrel has 3 items to balance the overall appeal.
  • Proportion: the plants and candle balance the large whiskey barrel.

Storage is Your Friend

Don’t forget about storage! Yes, this can be a decorating hack! For example, I recently refurbished my bookshelf headboard and added barn doors to give it the farmhouse look. This technique is one of my favorites because its functional while appealing to the visual sense.

Creative DIY Headboard Makeover Idea

It doesn’t have to be a huge closet, but even a small area where certain items have a designated space. This way, you can stay organized and minimize the quantity of stuff because it will exceed the storage space you have set aside. 

For my farmhouse headboard, I used:

  • Alignment/Balance: the doors balance each other because they are on both sides.
  • Proportion: the doors are the perfect size requirements for what we need.
  • Movement: the hardware allows the door to slide, making the storage easy to get to.
  • White Space: there are no barn doors in the center, allowing the middle storage section to cater to more decorations.

Everyday Items can be Utilized

Yes, you better believe it! Everyday items can be used to decorate! Here is a sneak peek of my built-in kitchen shelves that I recently decorated. This is the perfect example of this decorating technique. 

Farmhouse Kitchen Shelves

The fundamentals of design I used for this technique are:

  • Emphasis: the kitchen items stand out as opposed to the living room shelves I mentioned earlier. This makes it known that these shelves are in the kitchen (well, technically, it’s in the dining room, but you get the picture). 
  • Repetition: again the kitchen/dining room items (for example the placemats) make it clear where this shelf belongs in a house.

Don’t Go Overboard

This sounds so simple, but it can be so easy to do!! I recently decorated my entryway bench for summer and this is the perfect example. You don’t want to go overboard with the decorations.

Summer Farmhouse Entryway Bench Ideas

I could have added a larger bin for shoes or more plants in my entryway, but this is plenty.

The last fundamentals I showcase for this technique are:

  • Emphasis: The primary item (the bench) is the main focal point. Everything else is extra.
  • Alignment/Balance: there is a large plant and a small table on either side of the bench.

Bookshelf Décor Tips 

There are a few things to consider when you start the decorating process on your bookcase. I have grouped the big-ticket items into 7 different categories below.

Dimensions of the Bookcase

First, you’ll need to consider the width, height, and depth of your bookcase. How many shelves are there? Is there room for tall items? Or does the height of the bookshelf limit the size of the décor? Do you have side-by-side bookcases? 

All the above questions matter because these factors can limit you in different capacities. For example, my bookshelves have different heights between the shelves. The bottom shelf has the most space in between. 

Vintage Copper Bucket

Because the heights between my shelves are different, I have arranged the decorations methodically. For example, the copper bucket is on the bottom because it takes up the most height out of all my decorations. 

Also, if you have side-by-side bookcases, you’ll need to be mindful of the space. Personally, I would want to leave room between the decorations so it’s not crowded. However, if that is the look you’re going for, then go for it!

Color Pallet of the Bookshelf

Another tip to consider is the color of your bookshelf. Is it a neutral color? Or is it a painted bookshelf? Is it on the lighter side or the darker side? 

In my opinion, a bookshelf can never be too white. You can put white décor pieces on a white bookshelf and it’ll look pretty. 

Unique Bookshelf Décor and Book Aesthetic

Because the bookshelves in this house are so dark, I have to limit how many dark décor pieces I use. The goal here would be to brighten the bookshelves as much as possible. 

Decorating Style

Style is huge when it comes to how you decorate your bookshelves. Are you going for a modern look? What about the farmhouse, boho, contemporary, minimalistic, or vintage? Or perhaps a combination of a few. Whatever look you are going for, make it yours! 

Copper Tea Pot with Books for Bookshelf Aesthetic

In my example, I have some farmhouse and vintage pieces. The copper tea kettle and bucket lean more on the vintage side. The wood slabs, light holders, and picture frames are more farmhouse.

Decoration Seasonality

Another thing to consider when decorating your bookshelf is if seasonality will come into play. Are you looking for decorations that will last year-round? or do you like to switch it up? Personally, I like to add some seasonal decorations to switch the decorations up.

Unique Book Aesthetic as your Bookshelf Décor

Function

How do you want your bookshelf to function? Is it just purely decoration? Or are there going to be functional items as well? For example, I LOVE wicker baskets, and I think adding these is a great way to store those little nick-nack items. 

Copper Tea Pot and Spray Painted Books for Bookshelf Décor

For example, I have 3 wicker baskets in total on my shelves. One has a projector that we have for game/movie nights and an Aurora Borealis light. Another basket has a speaker, and the last basket has religious items like small figurines or rosaries. All are conveniently located and organized. 

Décor you Already Have on Hand

I am a huge advocate of using what you already have on hand. I mean don’t get me wrong, I love browsing Amazon or going to Marshalls and getting new decorations. But, there is something so satisfying about using that random fan that you didn’t know what to do with. The giddy realization that the fan perfectly balances the new copper bucket decoration. Take my word on this one. So satisfying.

Surroundings Around the Bookshelf

The last consideration out of the 7 bookshelf décor tips and tricks is what is surrounding the bookshelves. Is it a TV? Fireplace? Something else?

Summer Mantle Decorating Ideas

Summer Mantle Decorating Idea

I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned this on the blog, but I had 2 weddings at different times of the year. I was a Covid bride and married my husband in January 2021. We had a small wedding and reception. Later once Covid died down, we had a larger reception in May 2022.

The original theme of my actual wedding was a Christmas tree farm because my husband proposed at one. Plus, I’m a sucker for a Christmas tree farm-themed wedding, so it was perfect!

Mantle Decorating Ideas

To be able to use a lot of the same decorations for the reception in May, I tweaked the theme to be more of a mountain-themed wedding. As a result, we inherited different décor (like the vines), and I made decorations too (S’mores sign).

Mantle Decorating 101

I didn’t want to spend money on new decorations (even though I’m loving the lemon summer décor), so I used what I had on hand. By using what I already had and mixing it with a little bit of creativity, I ended up with a finished decorated mantle!

Mountain Themed Mantle

Whenever you want to decorate a mantle, you need to consider a few things:

  • Size: Do you have the width and height to add big decorations? Or is it best to stick with smaller ones?
  • Color: What colors are surrounding the mantle and the mantle itself? Stick with colors that complement one another. In my case, I wouldn’t want any of the decorations to be bold or neon because it would be fighting the color of the brick.
  • Style: what’s your style? Do you like the farmhouse look? Or more contemporary? Stick with the overall theme of what’s already in the house or the direction you want to take it.
  • Non-Seasonal Décor: A mantle should always have those “non-seasonal decorations”. So, in my case, the candlesticks and the mirrors are non-seasonal because I can use them any time of the year. If you want your mantle to have that seasonal touch, add seasonal décor too!
  • Balance: Work with odd numbers of decorations and try your best to balance the height.
  • Use what you have: I am a huge fan of using items that once served a purpose but for some reason, you can’t use it anymore. So, for example, the tea kettle was a gift, but the paint ended up chipping on the inside. I didn’t want to use it for its original purpose, but it is too cute to throw away, so décor it is! The same idea applies to the little lantern. It was a gift to my husband, but it’s so unique. We don’t use lanterns often, so instead of sitting in a closet waiting for its moment to shine, I think it serves a multipurpose use as a decoration on the mantle!
