10 Design Tricks to Re-Create Jonathan Knight's 'Farmhouse Fixer' Style at Home

On Farmhouse Fixer, renovation expert Jonathan Knight restores old New England homes, while designer Kristina Crestin brings charm to every space. Stealing ideas from the stunning remodels, re-create their farmhouse style in your own home — even if your house isn't centuries old. Here are some farmhouse decorating tips we picked up from the savvy duo after binge-watching every episode.

Hallmarks of farmhouse style are shiplap, beadboard and simple moldings, such as wainscoting. Quickly infuse your home with the look by adding one of the countryside's favorite architectural details. Clapboard siding instantly creates dimension in this entry porch, and shades of blue bring a little coastal charm to the ceiling and flooring.

Bring the past into your home for a true farmhouse environment. Here, a black-and-white photo of the homeowner's ancestors is the centerpiece of the living room. Aside from hanging the art herself, Kristina used a mix of materials, including rustic woods, mixed metals and casual upholsteries, to create a lived-in atmosphere.

They're cozy, rustic, welcoming — and, of course, a Farmhouse Fixer staple. This 1880s farmhouse kitchen was already full of charm, but those rustic ceiling beams really bring the charming space home.

Farmhouse designs boast neutral colors and natural textures. Jon and Kristina usually gravitate toward shades found in nature, like deep greens, sky blues and sand-colored taupes. In this office-turned-mudroom, creamy paneled walls complement brass hardware, a black stone sink and reclaimed wooden cabinets.

Textiles bring depth and comfort to a space and create an earthy farmhouse feel. In this cozy living room, green velvet window treatments add elegance, while new pine hardwood floors layered with a woven, neutral rug bring the bright. A freshly slipcovered sofa and plush chairs outdo the now-departed futon, a perfect fit for country life.

Kristina and Jon upgraded the Knight family kitchen with a custom range hood, magnificent new barn-light-inspired pendants and a heightened ceiling with ornamental joists. An utterly gorgeous array of new cabinetry flows seamlessly into a massive, flush-inset refrigerator, proving new rustic-industrial pieces can look salvaged. But the key is bringing in some old: Vintage crates serve as floating shelves, and rich gold hardware adds a touch of luxury.

Cover your front door in a standout shade of paint you love. It's that easy — just ask Jon and Kristina.

Look for vintage-inspired or unique light fixtures to illuminate your space. Here, a pair of industrial pendants hang over the kitchen island, while an eye-catching white fixture brings texture to the living room.

Reuse, reuse, reuse, and don't worry about imperfections — that's what farmhouse style is all about. This homeowner's one request: Keep the original cast-iron sink and drainboard in her kitchen. As expected, it fits perfectly into the new, bright design. Jon and Kristina topped French-blue cabinets with simple white countertops for a can’t-go-wrong color palette.
