By the end of this list you’ll have sixteen doable weekend projects for a home that leans boho and farmhouse at once.
That mix is trickier than it sounds. Too much boho and a room feels cluttered. Too much farmhouse and it feels stiff.
These sixteen were kept because they balance both sides. Rattan sits next to raw wood. Soft fringe sits next to painted metal.
Some are pure decor swaps you can finish in an afternoon. Others need a little sanding and patience, lol!
Skim the whole list first and pick two or three that fit your space. No need to do all sixteen at once.
Under each idea you’ll find the details that actually matter, plus a link to the full tutorial where one applies.
BOHO FARMHOUSE PROJECTS IDEAS
Rattan Pendant Light Makeover
This rattan pendant makeover takes a plain fixture and gives it real texture overnight.
Wrap an old shade in rattan strips or swap the shade entirely for a woven one. The warm shadows it throws are honestly the whole reason to do it, haha!
DIY Woven Table Runner
A table runner made from jute or seagrass cord adds instant warmth to a plain wood table.
You just weave or knot the cord in a simple pattern across a canvas backing. It takes patience more than skill.
Lay it under a few dried florals and the whole table feels finished.
Painted Vintage Dresser Redo
Got a dresser sitting in the garage that nobody wants? This is exactly its moment.
Sand it down, paint it in a soft clay or sage tone and swap the hardware for something in aged brass. That hardware swap alone changes the entire look.

Fringe Throw Pillow Covers
Fringe pillow covers are the fastest way to add boho texture to a farmhouse couch.
Stitch strips of trim along the seams of a plain canvas cover. Neutral linen keeps it from looking too busy.
Mix two or three fringe lengths for a little visual movement.
Wooden Crate Storage Bins
Wooden crates stacked sideways make surprisingly good storage bins for a farmhouse entryway.

Sand the rough edges, add a light stain and slide them under a bench or console table.
They hold shoes, throws or toys without looking like a plastic bin ever entered the house.
Rustic Ladder Blanket Display
A rustic ladder leaned against the wall is one of the easiest blanket displays out there.
Sand a reclaimed ladder, seal it and drape a few throws across the rungs. No mounting hardware needed, which is a huge plus.

It solves the endless blanket pile problem in one move.
Dried Flower Wreath Craft
Dried flower wreaths bring soft, faded color to a front door without any watering involved.
Wire bundles of pampas, baby’s breath or wheat stems onto a grapevine base.
The colors only get prettier as everything dries further over the following weeks.
Woven Basket Wall Art
Woven baskets arranged on a wall have become a bit of a farmhouse signature at this point, and for good reason.
Group different sizes and shapes in a loose cluster instead of a strict grid.
It fills empty wall space with texture instead of another framed print.
Distressed Barn Door Headboard
A barn door headboard turns leftover fence boards into the focal point of a bedroom.
Distress the wood with a chain or screwdriver before staining so it looks properly worn in.
Mount it flat to the wall behind the bed frame. Simple, sturdy and full of character.
Handmade Tassel Curtain Tiebacks
Tassel tiebacks dress up plain curtains without adding much bulk at all.
Braid or wrap cord around a ring, then knot a tassel at the end.
They read as an intentional detail, not an afterthought hanging by the window.
Mason Jar Candle Sconces
Mason jars turned into candle sconces bring soft, flickering light to a hallway or porch.

Attach a jar to a wood or metal bracket, drop in a candle and mount it at eye level. The glow through the glass is genuinely lovely at dusk.
Natural Fiber Pouf Ottoman
A natural fiber pouf is the seat that always ends up doing double duty as a footrest.
Sew a jute or cotton rope cover over a stuffed base and set it near the fireplace.
It softens a room full of hard wood furniture instantly.
Reclaimed Pallet Coffee Table
Pallet wood stacked into a coffee table is one of those projects that looks harder than it actually is.

Sand every board carefully since pallet wood tends to splinter.
Add hairpin legs underneath for a lighter, more modern stance.
Boho Gallery Wall Frames
A gallery wall built from mismatched frames is the quickest way to fill a blank wall with personality.
Mix wood, rattan and painted frames instead of matching sets. Odd numbers of frames tend to arrange more naturally too.
Step back often while hanging so the spacing stays even.
Painted Clay Pot Centerpiece
Painted clay pots grouped as a centerpiece bring a little color to an otherwise neutral table.
Use terracotta pots and add simple stripes or dots in muted paint.
Fill them with dried grasses instead of fresh flowers so the display lasts.
Woven Wall Basket Arrangement
Last but definitely not least, this woven wall basket arrangement pulls the whole boho farmhouse projects ideas list together in one spot.

Layer flat baskets, cone shapes and round ones at slightly different heights.
It costs almost nothing if you already own a few baskets, and it fills a wall better than most artwork does, haha!
