Open shelving works with almost any home decor style, and these farmhouse-style ideas will have you ready to install some of your own! They’re perfect for displaying decor or for everyday storage!
One of my all-time favorite DIY projects is my $40 open shelves that I built in my old kitchen. I know the trend is supposedly over. I think it was on the “going out of style” lists back in 2016. So why bring it up today? Every time I post my farmhouse open shelving on Instagram, people go wild!
I still love the look, so I don’t really care whether it’s trendy. Do what you love, I say! (P.S. I miss them now that we’ve moved, but it’s also fun to style built-in bookshelves, too!)
I never meant for mine to be anything more than decoration, but many people use open shelves as open cabinets to store plates, cups and other everyday kitchenware. Everyday items work well on open shelves because they get washed regularly and won’t collect dust. *smart!*
So today I wanted to gather some of my favorite farmhouse open shelving ideas for inspiration. You can build shelves just like mine for less than $40. Seriously! They pack such a punch! Get the full DIY shelf tutorial here.
There are so many good DIY shelving ideas here, so get ready to start a project!!
Farmhouse Open Shelving Ideas to Love
Find my original post on my open shelves here. {They’re SO easy to make!}
These beautiful floating kitchen shelves are from the kitchen reveal at Bigger Than The Three of Us.
I’ve long admired these reclaimed wood shelves from Our Vintage Home Love. They’re the perfect addition to a truly vintage home full of character and charm. Fun side note: her farmhouse table in the dining room was the first one I ever fell for, and I decided then that I’d have one of my own someday. (I made my own farmhouse table years ago, tutorial here.)
These open shelves from 11 Magnolia Lane look so lovely with their dark stain and sweet farmhouse decor!
John and Sherry at Young House Love not only have a beautiful kitchen with open shelves, they’re the king and queen of DIY tutorials. They even have an awesome blog tutorial for these very shelves!
The brass hardware and light stain on these shelves from Earnest Home Co. are lovely.
Gorgeous, modern open shelves from Lauren Liess
I love these simple DIY open shelves from Christina’s Adventures. Her whole home is beautiful (and real!), and she’s one of the most authentic, helpful bloggers I know!
White shelves and shiplap? Swoon! {from Better Homes and Gardens}

Liz Marie Blog features these open shelves with gorgeous vintage corbels. How beautiful!
The reclaimed shelves and gorgeous corbels from Pretty Handy Girl are simply to die for! Can you believe those corbels were a custom order? You can order them too from a shop not far from my town! (Check out Pretty Handy Girl’s blog for details!)
I love how Bre from Rooms For Rent stores her grains in canisters on her open shelves. Such a lovely way to keep them!
I hope all of these gorgeous open shelving ideas give you plenty of inspiration for your own home, if that’s what you love! I wouldn’t worry about trends with this decor choice, since shelves have been around for a long time. And if you want a few in your home to store kitchen items or just display decor, I say go for it!
