Let’s face it friend, achieving that modern farmhouse look inside your home can get very expensive.

93% of my clients say they went well past their initial budget to stay true to the modern farmhouse style…

And that’s okay, but it doesn’t have to be like that!

That’s why I came up with 6 steps you can follow to design a budget-friendly modern farmhouse.

Ready? Read below:

#1 Detailed Planning 

Start with mapping out your budget, timeline, and essential design features. Consulting with an architect or designer can help stretch your budget and bring your vision to life. Effective planning can prevent costly surprises later.

#2 Economical Construction Methods

Have you thought about going modular or using prefabricated structures? They’re not just wallet-friendly—they also cut down on waste and construction time. Plus, they're kinder to the planet. Faster build time means you get to enjoy your new home sooner!

#3 Utilize Reclaimed Materials

Reclaimed wood, bricks, and metals are not only cost-effective but also add character and a unique story to your home. Search for these materials at salvage yards, online, or at local farms undergoing renovations.

#4 Invest in Key Features

Focus on elements that define the farmhouse style for you, such as a spacious porch or exposed beams. These investments are crucial for creating the desired ambiance and functionality of your home.

#5 DIY Projects

Handle some tasks yourself to cut costs, such as painting, basic carpentry, or fixture installation. Make sure you're equipped with the proper tools and knowledge to avoid mistakes. Assess which projects you can manage on your own and which might require professional assistance.

#6 Economical Shopping

Watch for sales and clearance events to purchase fixtures and materials. Explore local stores, online auctions, and second-hand shops to find quality items at reduced prices, allowing flexibility in brand and style choices to maximize savings.

Friend, if you follow these 6 steps I’m sure you’ll be able to design your dream modern farmhouse without breaking the bank.

Rooting for you,

Your favorite modern farmhouse designer,
