Summertime means beaches, boats, and fun in the sun. It’s time to get your home ready for the season, and what better way to decorate for summer than with decor that celebrates the season? I’ve gathered 15 DIY coastal farmhouse decor pieces that are beautiful, perfect for summer, and each of them costs less than $20 to make!
Y’all, I’m obsessed with this piece. It’s absolutely gorgeous. We have several patriotic holidays from May through September, so this is a perfect coastal farmhouse DIY for the summer months.
This cost me less than $15 to make. All you need is a pack of 8×10 frames (they do have them at Dollar Tree), wood stain, starfish, and chalk or acrylic paint.
Trays are a decorating staple, so you definitely need some that are beach-inspired to add to your summer home. Sisal rope is used in boating and fishing, so I wanted to bring some of that inside.
This rope tray was made using Dollar Tree rope a few years ago. This is a photo from the front to show how the layers of rope are added. You can add a bow or leave it plain.
Decorative pillows can get expensive when you’re buying them for every season and holiday. This no sew pillow can help you out in that area! All you need is a pillow and some fabric; no sewing machine required. Fabric can be bought by the yard pretty inexpensively, or you could also use shirts, towels, or other items with the pattern you want.
To make it, you simply wrap a pillow with a cute twist knot in the front. Don’t worry, I’ll walk you through it!
Initially I planned to save these DIY seashell cones for a coastal Christmas theme, but they didn’t feel so overly holiday-ish that I used them as part of my coastal farmhouse decor last summer. The best part? You can make three for $2.50 since the cones come in a three pack and the shells are from Dollar Tree.
This is another one of my most popular posts. I like the spiral deco mesh wreaths better than the mesh pouf wreaths. What about you?
To make this wreath a little more farmhouse, go with burlap deco mesh and keep the ribbons to more neutral colors. I used burlap deco mesh in this Christmas wreath if you’d like to see what it looks like. Add a farmhouse style sign to the center. You can even use the same wording but paint it white or light blue and use vinyl in more muted blues or grays.

This is such a cute sailboat! Think about how perfect it would look in the center of your mantle or console table. She doesn’t live near the beach, as is the case with most of the country, so she used a branch for the base. You can’t get better decor than free! Just walk outside and grab a large stick and a thinner one, root through your fabric stash, and boom! Free coastal farmhouse decor.
I will be out hunting some driftwood for the many projects I have planned for this summer! I will mention that if you don’t have access to natural driftwood, you can make your own with bleach.
