Farmhouse Wall Decor Ideas

Practical things

A homesteading mama always needs practical things around.

But that doesn’t have to equal boring or ugly by any means.

Hanging my cast iron or copper pans on the wall is one of my favorite things for the kitchen. I also have my antique bone saw hung in the kitchen, easy to find when its butchering day.

We will discuss plates later, but they also fall under this category. My two favorite large serving plates are always displayed under my cabinets on the wall until I need them, because they are amazingly detailed and have my favorite colors. When I need to use them, I take them down, give them a wash with some soapy water, because lets be honest, dust and dirt is a serious battle in a farmhouse.

Cutting boards, rolling pins, hats, coat hangers, and baskets are some more ideas for you. Both practical and beautiful.

Framed art prints & paintings

I do have a confession to make about this.

I am slightly addicted to thrifting for framed antique art prints.

They just make my heart so happy.

I have too many currently for what we use, but that ok, because I have a little stash to pull from as I need them.

I’ve been collecting antique frames from antique stores, thrift stores, and yard sales for years now. I started even before I really had much of a place to put them. But a girl can dream.

If it was cute and around ten dollars, I would snatch it up for sure. If it was especially amazing and really spoke to me then I’d spend a little bit more.

These can just go anywhere and I especially love to make little gallery wall arrangements around the house with them. That’s another reason I like to have so many on hand, to be able to creatively change around gallery walls as I have sparks of inspiration.

Dried fruit

This is so beautiful.

Something about the simplicity. God’s artwork is really the best of all.

Any natural substance I can bring in and decorate with makes me so happy and just takes it to a whole new level of cozy and peaceful.

My favorite is using citrus and dehydrating them in slices and then stringing them along our walls, but you really could use lots of different types of fruit for this if you have them to spare.

Hooks & peg racks

Hooks or wooden peg racks are another practical way to add a layer of beauty and coziness.

You can use them practically to hang jackets, hats, and bags. Or you can use them to hang decor like bundles of herbs to dry, small picture frames, rolling pins, etc.

China

I daresay I’ve used this one a bit too much.

Or is that even really a thing?

Can you really have too many beautiful plates hanging around your home?

I’ve utilized platters, plates, and terrine lids around the house and they are just perfect!

Dried herbs & botanicals

If you live on a farm, I’d venture to say that maybe you grow herbs in your garden. They are one of my favorite things to grow and usually so easy.

Once they grow all summer and reach their prime you can really easily cut off big bunches, tie them with twine, and hang them around the house to dry.

Not only are you saving medicinal herbs and cooking spices for your family to use soon, but you are beautifying your home in a really simple and rustic way.

I’m telling you. Herb bunches really take your kitchen decor to the next level.

They fill in empty blank spaces, add texture and layers, and are still practical!

Dried sunflowers & other seed saving

Do you notice a theme here?

Practicality.

Blended with beauty.

It’s something that happens more naturally on a farm because of activities like food preservation and seed saving.

Last summer we grew a buttload of sunflowers. Then when I harvested them I hung them all on our big wall in the dining room and it was absolutely fabulous. So unique.

We also had a small amount of corn to dry for seeds.

Honestly they all probably dried for too long into the winter. But they were just too pretty to take down! And bonus was, they were NICE and dry! Almost crispy from the insanely dry air we get from having a wood burning stove for heat.

Also it was good timing because when I took them down it was right when I was getting in the zone for spring cleaning and I just scrubbed that whole wall clean.

I attacked it with a vengeance! With all that energy pent up from being stuck inside with this extra cold winter this year.

Needlepoint

Little needlepoint pieces are just the cutest.

I love mixing these in my gallery walls with framed prints and paintings, they just blend together so well.

Another thing I keep my eye out for when I’m thrifting and come across one for a good price.

Tapestries

This is something that’s a bit more new to me, but I was very inspired by Farmhouse Vernacular, before she stepped away from social media, because she had some amazing tapestries. She was amazing at blending them into the farmhouse decor style. This is from Paige at Farmhouse Vernacular where she hung tapestries in their staircase.

I have officially found one tapestry that I want to try to blend into our space somehow. I’m thinking of hanging it on the wall in our bedroom currently.

Antique oil paintings

These are so special to me. Oil paintings are a little more expensive than other framed artwork I’ve used, so it’s more of a splurge. Meaning, I only have a couple of these. I feel like they are more unique, they aren’t mass produced, they have a story, a person made them, not a machine.

Wall candle holders

These are so hard to find.

At least for me. I don’t know about y’all.

But in 6 years of searching, not super actively, but keeping my eye out when I was at the antique or thrift shop, I’ve only found three of these total.

I feel like they add a bit more of a Victorian feel to a room. I love it mixed in with my farmhouse decor.

Not that I’m an expert. By any means.

And blessings.
