DIY Farmhouse Inspired Kitchen Projects
Updated on March 4, 2022
Our home kitchen has long had a slightly rustic inspired and farmhouse influenced aesthetic about it, but lately we’ve been trying to make that a little more explicit and established looking. We want a consistent style, not just a subtle hint of what we like! That’s why we’ve been spending a bit of time each day looking for cute homemade farmhouse kitchen decor that will help us get the look we’ve been dreaming of.
Just in case you love the idea of making a pretty but firmly DIY farmhouse inspired kitchen aesthetic in your home just as much as we do, if not more, here are 15 of the very best ideas, designs, and tutorials that we’ve come across so far in our search for inspiration!
1. DIY paint stick bushel basket
Have you always loved the idea of going to a farmer’s market to the point that you sometimes pretend that’s what you’re really doing when you’re at the grocery store? Then we have a feeling this first idea fromDeco Art will have alot of appeal to you. Check out their tutorial to see how they made a lovely bushel styled basket for fruit using leftover wooden paint sticks!
2. Easy farmhouse kitchen wall hanger
Have you ever come across a photo or a piece of digital art that you loved so much and that really fit your home’s decor style, but that you wanted to present more stylishly than just printing it off the computer and sticking the paper in a frame? Well, that’s precisely howRaggedy Bits ended up writing this tutorial on how to turn an image into a wonderfully large farmhouse style print that looks great hanging on a kitchen well! It’ll look just as good no matter what image you choose.
3. Farmhouse market produce rack
Did we really catch your attention when we started talking about fruit baskets and farmer’s markets, but you’re the kind of fruits and veggies enthusiast that needs space for more than just a few apples on hand?
In that case, we think you just might be the perfect person to give this awesome wall-mounted produce rack project from Addicted 2 DIY a try! We love the way they used vintage wire shopping baskets to really bring home the idea of an old-fashioned country produce section. And it’s a fantastic pantry organization idea.
