It’s no secret that I’m in love with rustic decor. But I have a confession: I’m a little bit more in love with amazing rustic home DIYs! Over the last year, I have set my mind to making my home feel more “homey” with DIY projects. Here are 14 of my favorite rustic themed home DIYs. As always, feel free to comment your favorite below, and share your finished results with me.
14 Rustic Home DIYs
If you’re anything like me, you have hundreds {at least it seems like hundreds!} of mason jars in storage. Fortunately, the internet is full of mason jar DIYs! Here is one of my favorite from A Southern Fairy Tale. These are super easy to make and would look great indoors and out. If you don’t like the idea of hanging your lanterns, they make great centerpieces as well!
These floating shelves from Shanty 2 Chic are exactly the kind of rustic touch your bathroom needs! This is a super inexpensive DIY–it costs approximately $15 to make each shelf. Don’t let the inexpensive price fool you. These shelves are made to last.
Twine is a great material to craft with because it adds a hint of rustic flair to just about anything. This outdoor DIY project is the perfect solution to your backyard lighting woes and it’s super inexpensive! However, this project comes with a warning: it’s super messy! You will be covered with glue and twine, but the end result is totally worth it. Get the tutorial from Splash of Something and bring that much needed lighting to your outdoor landscape.
Sometimes a bit of reclaimed wood is all you need to make your rooms warm and homey. I love this idea for a rustic home DIY for the living room. Find a tutorial at Little Brick House. The before and after pictures you can see there are simply incredible. It’s amazing what a simple DIY like this one does for your home décor.
This framed mirror is the perfect addition to any bedroom. Here is a tutorial for a similar mirror from The Wood Grain Cottage. Use reclaimed wood, vinegar, steel wool and this tutorial to achieve a perfectly distressed wood look!

I constantly struggle with how to store my jewelry. I’ve tried lots of solutions, but nothing seemed to work for me. Fortunately, there is this beautiful DIY from Visibly Moved. The holder itself looks beautiful, but it looks even better when you hang your jewelry up. Your necklaces double as a decor pieces for your bedroom.

Here’s another take on rustic shelving! These shelves aren’t quite as thick and bulky as the floating shelves above, but these are beautiful in any room. Place empty milk bottles, a vase of flowers and even a few cookie jars stocked with your favorite treats. Tutorial from 11 Magnolia Lane.
The options are endless when it comes to customizing terracotta pots! Use acrylic paint and a foam brush to transform your plain terracotta pots (full tutorial from Pink When). Add some twine if desired.

Nothing says rustic quite like a wood crate. Aside from the fact that this is totally beautiful, the wood wheels make it completely functional. This wood crate from Liz Marie Blog is the perfect way to store all of the throws in your living room. Or put the wheels on the top of the crate and use it for a clever ottoman.
