Rustic Farmhouse Style is a term that has been overloaded these past years in every design and home décor aesthetic. Let’s just be simple here and think of this vibe for your home as a cozy, comfy, simply decorated, traditional look. Not fussy or bright or garish or ultra-modern, but a calming “country style” that exudes simplicity that often includes muted colors, plaids and subtle patterns and a few vintage pieces of furniture or other “weathered” décor items. I have an old butter churner with a large paddle in a big glass jar that is one of my “farmhouse” pieces that sits in my open kitchen along with a big wood “dough bowl” that collects recipes, my grandsons’ art work and other daily junk!
But we are talking about Window Treatments today. Here are some of my favorite styles of Blinds and Shades that can bring your windows to life for a bit of rustic Farmhouse flavor. Don’t get sidetracked by the term as, for me, Farmhouse style is anything that is comfortable to you. Colors, fabric, soft patterns, and organic weaves that offer a harmonious warmth to your home. After all, that is what Blindsgalore is all about, in our family story and our collection of Window Treatments we have created to personally guide you to the perfect “Farmhouse Window Treatment” today.
Rustic Farmhouse Kitchen Windows
Kitchen Windows are one of the easiest windows to design in a simple country style. I always think of the kitchen as the heart of the house where everyone comes together to cook, eat and sort out the day. A simple Roller Shade that seamlessly fits or a Faux Wood Blind in any of our natural colors offers a classic look as an easy match for all the bustling activity that takes place in a kitchen. I like Faux Woods for the kitchen as they will not warp when food stains need to be cleaned if your kitchen is like mine-a madhouse with little grandsons running afoot. By using restraint in choosing Kitchen Window Treatments, you have already created a calm palette.
Farmhouse Living Room Window Treatments
Living Room Window Treatments take center stage, too, when everyone is gathering for chatting or watching the newest Netflix series. Since togetherness happens here, I like to design living rooms with the easy warmth of Natural Woven Wood Shades for their organic feel and nubby textures. I also favor Roman Shades here for a more formal designer look, but also carefree in spirit.
Farmhouse Drapery
If your living room is more formal and not like a family room, you might veer toward a more designer look with Custom Drapery which always leans to a more “decorated window”. Drapery is still a favorite window treatment for easy luxury, but lean into a simple, soft fabric that whispers a country look.
Farmhouse Blinds
Cellular Blinds are an all-time favorite Window Treatment as they seamlessly fit into a window with supreme simplicity and a perfect fit for Farmhouse style in so many colors. However, a personal favorite are real Wood Blinds as the patina and grain of real wood can never be duplicated. Wood Blinds can be stained or distressed to complement the natural look of your Farmhouse décor. For a truly authentic and traditional look on your windows, Wood Blinds are my choice.
Farmhouse Roman Shades
Roman Shades are an elegant choice as the soft folds tumble down your windows, adding depth and texture. You can choose a flat fold which offers a sleek, more modern look but the hobbled fold whispers a more relaxed “down home feeling”. If you need a more designer look in your Farmhouse home, Roman Shades will not disappoint.
If you need to visualize a specific window example of the above Window Treatments, I have selected a Farmhouse choice to get you started in designing your own rustic Farmhouse Style. All of our Window Treatments are handcrafted by artisan hands and made just for your special windows. My choices are just an inspiration for you as we have so many choices to entice you to explore the design that resonates the country spirit in your home.

2. Blindsgalore Luxera Natural Woven Shades
Our latest Natural Woven Shades offer a beautiful array of colors and that nubby, texture of organic reeds and grasses and jute that are harvested from sustainable forests.

The Boutique Flat Drapery in Solids is another easy option if you like the flow and softness that drapery epitomizes. Bedrooms seem to ask for this calming feeling as you easily fall asleep in a country cocoon off to dreamland.
8. Blindsgalore Designer Custom Drapery
Our Designer Custom Drapery with Back Tab is designed to encase the Drapery Hardware to create a seamless and more modern look.

All of you have to decide are your flavors – we will dip or did I mean ship? it out for your special windows!
