If you love decor that is unique and charming as much as I do, then a farmhouse decor ladder may be what your home is missing. After all, they are highly versatile, don’t take a lot of space, and come in multiple sizes and finishes. Plus, they’re just downright handy for everything from hanging blankets to displaying trinkets and treasures.

For those that love the personal touch and DIY decor, farmhouse ladders also fit this bill. They’re generally an easy and affordable project that even novice DIYers can tackle. And if you find your ladder doesn’t work well in one room once you set it up, your work won’t go to waste as you have oodles of other options. The beauty of farmhouse ladders is that they are generally lightweight, so they can be moved around with ease. Toting one around to try in multiple places around a room (or your entire home!) is a breeze — perfect for those who are constantly swapping around their decor.

If you want to see just how fab this accessory can be, then this list of 36 farmhouse ladders is for you. Get ready to step up your decor game!

How to Decorate a Farmhouse Ladder

Farmhouse ladders offer a unique opportunity for creative decor, seamlessly blending functionality with style. The key to successful ladder decoration is to match the tones and textures of the ladder with the surrounding objects, ensuring a cohesive and harmonious look. This approach contributes significantly to the polished and stylish appearance of a farmhouse home. For instance, draping a gingham blanket over a ladder can introduce a snug charm to your space, as noted by interior designer Camila Lyons. “A gingham blanket draped over a ladder brings a snug charm, perfect for softening empty corners and starting your decorating journey,” she says. This simple yet effective touch not only softens and enlivens empty corners but also sets a welcoming tone, making it an excellent starting point for anyone embarking on their home decorating adventure.
