While fashions change minute-to-minute, our collective love for nature and nostalgia endures, and Farmhouse Decor is the epitome of both. Unaffected, rustic, with an emphasis on "making do," it prioritizes comfort, practicality, and simplicity, blending vintage and modern elements. Recent years have seen Farmhouse Decor inspire many internet aesthetics, like of cottagecore and even dark academia.

You don't need to live in a barn to enjoy a little farmhouse decor magic! A careful use of materials, textures and vintage accents are all you need to create a classic, cozy aesthetic in your home.

Today, we're going through our favourite Pinterest Picks to find out how to bring pastoral charm to your home.

Natural Materials:

Natural materials are the cornerstone of farmhouse decor. After all, humans have used them for centuries as they are durable, reliable and sustainable. Use wood, stone, and metal as accents and don't be afraid to try upcycling vintage pieces so they serve your needs.

The Alexander (Atlas) Brass Salt and Pepper Mill set exudes old-world charm and is, in many ways, the ultimate piece of Farmhouse Decor. Its shiny, earthy color breathes warmth and tradition into a space and it remains a bestselling heirloom gift, wedding gift and housewarming gift. 

This Mango Wood bowl is also featured on our Farmhouse decor Pinterest board. This ancient wood is widely used in India and each piece features a unique grain pattern. Classified as a dark wood, Mango wood is durable and more sustainable than oak or teak due to its fast growth cycle. It blends seamlessly with ornate and minimalist interiors. Speaking of which... 

Neutral Colors:

Some home makers love farmhouse charm and choose it as the central theme of their home. But if you're starting slowly, that's ok. Minimalists can also enjoy some cozy comfort as soft, neutral shades (like whites, creams, beiges, and grays) pair well with the earthy tones and occasional pops of color that characterise the farmhouse style. 

This Figaro Olive Oil Bottle adds a touch of lived-in, artisanal charm to your space whilst blending seamlessly with a minimalist decor theme. 

Vintage Accents:

If you're a returning Maple Kitchen Goods customer, you will be familiar with our passion for genuine French vintage decor. But if you're new to this style, don't be afraid to start small. A careful use of small vintage pieces will accent your overall theme.

Textures:

We are often so preoccupied with how a space looks, that we forget how they feel. If you're crafting a farmhouse-inspired space, don't forget to make use of textures and natural textiles like linen, cotton, and wool. 

This Alpes Merino Wool Throw is available from our new Fall decor collection in the colour nougat. 100% natural, it features double face-felted wool for supreme softness and ultimate comfort.
