What Are Budget Farmhouse Winter Decor Ideas?
Just look to nature for budget-friendly farmhouse winter decor ideas. Here are some of my favorite winter decorations.
- Foraged Pinecones
- Bare Branches
- Forced Stems
- Winter Greenery (especially Boxwood)
- Cozy Throw Blankets
- Candles
- Woods and Whites
- Vintage Brass
- Warm Copper
- Baskets
- Bowls of Fruit and nuts
The Entryway
Although my home doesn’t have a foyer or official entryway, this area next to the front doors serves as our entry space.
I’ve left the area minimal for my usual decorating style. This winter, I’m using the warm tones of the basket and vintage shifter to fill the space. Greenery and flocked pinecones add a winter feel.
Here, I’ve added some forsythia stems to a sap bucket. They are still bare, but the heat and window light will soon force the blooms. It will then look like an early spring inside the house.
If you’d like to force blooms in winter, read Cheat Winter: Force Forsythia Flowers & More To Bloom Indoors Now.
The vintage wooden thread spools were a yard sale score. I repurposed them for these fun tassels just before Christmas.
A gathering of foraged pinecones under a metal cloche fills the vintage sifter. The snowy tips are achieved with an easy flocking technique.
Natural Greenery for Winter
One of my favorite ways to make the farmhouse feel cozy for winter is to add natural greenery.
This DIY magnolia wreath is drying out beautifully. I made it before Christmas and didn’t preserve the leaves as I was short on time. However, as I watch it dry, I’m glad I didn’t. I love the faded colors, which are perfect for winter decorating.
Winter is a great time to make your own magnolia wreath; the tutorial can be seen here.
Since the holidays, I’ve been bringing fresh boxwood into the house. When you cut the boxwood in winter, it will continue to look great through the spring months.
Vintage books, flicker candles, and greenery add a warm, cozy feel to the room on a gloomy day.
A vintage music sheet paper Valentine’s Day garland surrounds the wooden bowl.

Add a cozy vibe to your winter mantel with pheasant feathers and pinecones. If you’d like to see all the details, read Hygge Inspired Winter Mantel.
Farmhouse Winter Decor Ideas
Faith
After the holidays, I replace my Silent Night Cow Painting with Faith. She is actually a sister to Sophie! However, Faith’s quote is from Ecclesiastes – “To Everything there is a Season”. She is a daily reminder that winter will pass and we have warmer days to look forward to. Faith prints are available in my store.
Candlelight and Brass
In addition, I like to fill the dining table with thrifted brass candlesticks for winter.
Last year, I made a multi-candleholder from reclaimed wood and used it for a Cozy Winter Tablescape.
Cozy Winter Kitchen
The kitchen is a hard room to make cozy; however, because I’m sharing a cozy winter home tour, I wanted the kitchen cozy as well. So here’s what I did.
With a neutral white color palette, I am adding warm coppers and brass to help up the cozy factor.
One of our fall projects was building this copper pot rack hanger, which instantly added warmth to the brick backsplash wall.
In addition, the open shelving includes more copper, woods, and whites. The aged patina on the vintage ironstone also helps to warm the space.
Finally, add a few flicker candles, pinecone candles, and faux snow-tipped pinecones to the shelving.
Warm Woods
One of my favorite projects was the DIY Kitchen Island, which we built while the farmhouse was under construction. I’ve shared that I wanted a reclaimed barn wood top for the island. Instead, we used this technique to make the new wood look old. The rustic wood gives the kitchen an old-world feel.
The island has a vintage vignette, including a French cheese board, antique mason jars, a vintage toolbox, an old butter mold, and more vintage copper pieces. Most of these pieces are thrift store finds.
Cozy Winter Home – Bedroom
I like for the bedroom to be cozy year-round. Today, the neutral woods and whites continue into the bedroom for winter.
The 3 step flea market flip, side table, and easy thrifted lamp makeover help make the space warm.
I love all the bedding options, and this ruffled quilt and pillow shams are made with soft cotton fabric.
I’ve added a few Valentine’s Day touches with the paper garland and vintage quilt hearts. In addition, the room includes a few touches of warm blues, which include floral pillow shams.

I really appreciate you sweet encouragment.
These rooms look like the perfect spaces to cozy up, relax and reset Rachel. It sounds like you definitely need it as your husband recovers from Covid and you deal with the sniffles. Slowing down when you’re ready to get back to work after the holidays is not always easy but in the end, it’s worth it. Sending you hugs as you offer your caregiving gifts and create a cozy home that allows the body a safe space to heal. It’s all so beautiful, CoCo

Wonderful winter tour Rachel! I enjoy studying your vintage vignettes, and always find so much to inspire me in your posts! By the way your copper pan collection is just gorgeous!

Your home looks so refreshed and cozy for the winter Rachel. So happy to see Sophie again.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Actually, you are seeing Faith, Sophie’s sister. Faith comes out each winter to help us welcome the coming Spring.
Your home is so beautiful and ever so cozy! I just love all your personal touches! You have been blessed with a wonderful gift! Thanks, once again, for sharing your lovely home with us.
Also. I just love your Olivia quilt and pillow shams! They are beautiful! I also love the plates you have hung above your bed — such a great idea!

Mary-Ann,
Thank you for making my day. What sweet and encouraging words. I’m so glad you found me also. I hope you have a blessed day.
So many cozy ideas, Rachel. I just love your cow painting and what she stands for. Happy Tuesday!
Kim,
Thank you so much. I appreciate your comments.
Rachel, your home is always cozy no matter the season. Your copper rack is so wonderful and your collection absolutely warms up the kitchen. So much to love and your counter top vignette on your island really pulls things together. I’m totally fascinated by your whitewashed looking pears. I never thought of that so I’m going to try that look. I’m going to wait a week or so and cut a few forsythia branches for forcing. I’m already looking forward to spring. Happy January!
Debra,
I really appreciate your sweet comments. The pears are actually concrete and very heavy. I’ve had them for several years and love displaying them.
Oh my goodness Rachel, what a COZY winter home! Everything looks gorgeous. Love the copper to warm up the kitchen and all the natural elements throughout. The drying magnolia wreath is stunning, I love dried flowers and foliage of any kinds. I would love to make one maybe in mid-summer to dry for fall. Do you think that would work?
Your home is perfect for winter. Thanks so much for joining the hop!
Amber,
Thank you so much. I would assume since the leaves are green all year, you could make one in Summer.
Beautiful home tour Rachel! xo
Stacy,
