Here are four popular interior decorating styles you can create using pieces from our style collections:

  • Farmhouse – Warm woods and worn finishes for a homey, lived-in look you can actually use.
  • French Country – A softer, dressier cousin of farmhouse, with quiet colors and graceful curves.
  • Cottagecore – Sweet and a little nostalgic, built on flowers, ruffles, and handmade finds.
  • Boho Chic – Free-spirited and layered, with global patterns, natural fibers, and plenty of plants.

Farmhouse

Start here if you gravitate toward warm and worn-in decor. Old wood, plain shapes, and pieces that get handled every day. You'll spot galvanized metal, a checked pattern, some soft linen. Most of it lives in the farmhouse collection at AFH. Nothing matches perfectly, and that's a big part of the charm.

In lieu of matching, mix your materials. For example, a Cast Iron Multi Wall Hook Rack can anchor an entry, while a Drop Leaf Farmhouse Wood Table creates a convenient landing spot below it. A Decorative Willow Bee Skep placed on the table can add a touch of whimsy. Browse more wall decor to fill the gaps. Also, balance dark woods against creamy whites so the room stays light. 

Farmhouse accents move easily from room to room too. Crocks and open shelves warm up a kitchen. A Classic Swan Planter softens a shelf with an old-fashioned touch. In the bedroom, a plain wood frame and layered neutrals do the job. Find one piece you love, then build around it.

French Country

Love farmhouse decor but want a bit more polish? French Country splits the difference. Soft curves stand in for hard lines, making the colors read muted. The palette leans on ivory, sage, and dusty blue, with a touch of gold. Our French Country Decor line at AFH is a good place to start shopping.

Once you've established that color palette, age and texture do most of the work in this collection. Start with an Ornate Pedestal Riser to lift a candle or small vase off the surface and add depth. Then add a carved mirror to add a decorative focal point. Meanwhile, brass warms the cooler tones, while linen takes the edge off. 

From there, French Country decor settles in nicely next to plainer farmhouse pieces. Pair a rough wood table with a scrolled iron chair to balance rustic and refined elements. Set out a Blush French Rose Bouquet for a soft garden note. The refined details are what carry the look. A little gilt goes a long way, so keep it light.

Cottagecore

This one's for the romantics. It runs on flowers, old finds, and things made by hand. Expect ruffles, pressed blooms, and a soft wash of pastel. The cottagecore collection leans sweet and a little nostalgic. Matching is optional, and usually skipped.

Half the fun is in the layering. Set a Handled Rattan Planter Basket on a shelf with a few dried flowers. Group old books with a Classic Blue Floral Cottage Pitcher nearby. Nothing has to be new to belong here. A chipped rim only adds to the appeal.

Bedrooms and reading nooks wear it best. A Reclaimed Wood Rustic Farmhouse Bench works at the foot of the bed. Pile on quilts, add a small lamp, and keep any clutter charming. Hang sheer curtains and set a potted herb on the sill. Slow mornings feel built right in.

Boho Chic

Rules loosen up here, and that's the appeal. Boho mixes patterns, natural fibers, and a lot of plants. You'll reach for rattan, macrame, and warm earthy color. The boho collection at AFH rewards a magpie eye. Souvenirs and market finds are fair game.

Texture carries the whole room. Toss a Tufted Round Floor Cushion Stripe by the sofa for low seating. Stack a couple of rugs and hang a basket or two. Work in plants at a few heights for life. There's no formula, so trust what looks right. Holding back isn't really the goal.

Boho gets along well with farmhouse and vintage styles. A Rattan Basket Candlestick Pendant Lamp adds warm, filtered light overhead. Keep a neutral base so the room reads collected, not busy. From there, let the space shift and grow as you do. A home like this is never quite finished.
