COTTAGE FARMHOUSE DECOR CAPSULE 

Hey friends!
Okay, so y’all know I’ve done the capsule wardrobe lifestyle for almost six years now, and I thought it might be fun to try and apply it to home decor!  The purpose of a capsule wardrobe is to curate a closet full of only the pieces you truly love and feel beautiful wearing…so why not do the same with home decor?  Having a focused grouping of lovely, beautiful and coordinating pieces means you can mix, match and restyle any space and it will always create a result you love!

For this home decor capsule, I decided to go around my own cottage farmhouse style home and narrow down which pieces I would say I use and reuse most often.  This solid cottage farmhouse decor base allows me to constantly play and restyle spaces in my home that go and flow, because all of the curated capsule items vibe with each other and play nicely together room to room!  Of course, adding in fresh pieces is always fun to spice things up, but this neutral and lovely baseline keeps things cohesive and quite cottage farmhouse-y!  (It’s a word.  Let’s just go with it.  😉)

As you can see above, the base of the cottage farmhouse home decor capsule is pretty neutral with lots of warm woods, soft textures and pale greens to add a pop.  Grouping multiples of these items is one of my favorite ways to create major visual interest and loads of texture…all without too much busy color in keeping with this specific design style.  See below how I’ve used my cottage farmhouse capsule items in different spaces of my home and throughout the varying seasons of the year…such a versatile concept!

(Grain sack stripe linens, farmhouse sign, lamb’s ear, white dishes, old books and glass bottles)

(Wood lamp, nubby white pillows, old books)

So many different ways to use and reuse these simple yet statement-worthy cottage farmhouse capsule items, and, when you have a neutral base of home decor like this, restyle a space becomes so inexpensive…you can use and reuse, style and restyle to your heart’s content!  Rather than buying lots of new decor each time you get the itch to switch as I always say 😉 then try formulating your own simple home decor capsule that you can use any time of the year and in any space!  It’s a challenge AND a lifestyle change that keeps your storage spaces cleaner and your wallet happier.  😂🙌🏻

What do you think, buddies?  Do you maybe already have a home decor capsule base that you return to again and again to build upon when you get the itch to switch?  What are some of your favorite items to use and reuse in your designs?  Anything from my cottage farmhouse capsule look like something you also use a lot?  Thanks for reading, friends!
