Space & Budget Guidance
Small Space Tips
Farmhouse works well in small spaces—white walls expand perceived space while vintage pieces add character. Focus on one or two farmhouse statement pieces rather than overwhelming. For a small home cafe: A small coffee station can be as simple as a dedicated counter section with a coffee maker, mug rack, and organized supplies. Even a cart can create a mobile café corner.
Large Space Tips
Large farmhouse spaces embrace generous tables, comfortable seating groupings, and abundant accessories. Create intimate zones within larger rooms through furniture arrangement. In a larger home cafe: Large home cafés can become full breakfast rooms with banquette seating, bistro tables, and comprehensive beverage stations rivaling commercial cafés.
Budget-Friendly
Farmhouse can be achieved very affordably—thrift stores, garage sales, and DIY distressing create authentic looks. White paint transforms furniture. Target and IKEA have farmhouse-style pieces.
Luxury Approach
Source museum-quality American antiques, commission custom built-ins, invest in authentic architectural elements, and work with designers specializing in refined farmhouse.
