Where To Find Farmhouse Decorating Ideas on a Budget

Don't Forget to Stack Your Discounts!

When you've found that piece that you can't live without, don't forget to get the best deals by doing the following:

• Buy it when it's on sale (I know, it's hard to wait!)
• Scour Google for discount codes or coupons.
• Use cashback apps like:
  • TopCashBack
  • Ibotta
  • Rakuten
  • Paribus
• Sign up for the store's free rewards programs to snag extra discounts
• Try the cart abandonment method (put the item in your cart, get to the point where you enter your email address, and leave the site; stores will often email you or spam you with ads on social media containing a discount code)

Or, Try Your Own DIY Farmhouse Decor Ideas

If you can't find exactly what you're looking for, you create some diy farmhouse projects! The best part of a farmhouse or country look is that you can often use old items you already have and repurpose. Talk about an easy way to score a modern farmhouse look for cheap!

One of my favorite things to do is refurbish items with chalk paint. Chalk paint can give you the smooth or chippy look of farmhouse furniture, depending upon how you use it.

Chalk paint also covers just about anything - and without having to sand or prime first! Less work to create something crafty and beautiful? I'll take it!

I've used chalk paint on frames, dressers, bookcases, signs, and more. It's easy to layer colors and waxes, so the possibilities are endless. For some specific ideas on how to use chalk paint, check out these posts:

• Scour thrift stores for old crockery, baskets, and decor
• Repurpose items from other areas of the house

• Repurpose barrels, buckets, or cans into planters for live houseplants

What trend is replacing farmhouse?

While the Cottagecore style is beginning to trend, don't worry. Not only is it very similar to modern farmhouse design, but both decor trends have a classic, neutral look that's much less likely to look dated. Farmhouse decor will be "in" for a long time to come, so don't worry about it looking dated in six months.
