Farmhouse Kitchen Wall Decor from Hobby Lobby: What to Buy, What to Skip, and When

Hobby Lobby is where many people start with farmhouse kitchen wall decor. Most full-price wall pieces in its farmhouse range sit between roughly $13 and $56, and the sale calendar can cut that further. The catch is that the same pieces hang in thousands of kitchens, and many are made from materials never designed for a room where things get fried. This guide sorts the range by what survives kitchen life, what it costs, and how to keep it from looking catalog-bought. For where each piece should hang relative to the stove and sink, our farmhouse kitchen wall decor guide covers the zones. This one covers the shopping.

If you’re reading from the UK or Australia

Hobby Lobby is a US chain. There’s no UK store, and one retailer guide says it doesn’t accept international orders, so overseas shoppers tend to rely on parcel forwarders or resold items. For bulky wall pieces, forwarding can cost more than the decor itself. A better route is to treat Hobby Lobby’s range as a shopping brief and find equivalents locally. Hobbycraft in the UK and Kmart in Australia are worth checking, and their prices will differ from the US dollar figures below. Everything here translates: framed prints, one metal piece, a peg rail.

Check the material before the style

A kitchen punishes materials unevenly, and Hobby Lobby’s listings state the material, so read that line before you look at the photo.

• MDF wood-look signs (Farmhouse, Rustic): the 12″ × 24″ “I’ll Lick the Dishes” cow sign is MDF with two sawtooth hangers, listed at $21.99 before markdowns. MDF is pressed fiberboard and swells when wet, so keep it off the sink wall.
• Canvas prints (Cottage, Farmhouse): the Farmyard Sunbeams canvas lists at $55.99, with a sale price near $33.59. Fabric holds onto cooking grease, so save canvas for a dining nook.
• Resin utensil decor (Farmhouse, Vintage): the fork and spoon pieces are $12.99 each and about 20–22 inches tall, with a keyhole mount. They wipe clean, but resin and heat don’t mix, so hang them near a pantry or doorway, not the hob.
• Metal wall decor (Rustic): the windmill piece is $31.99. Metal is the most forgiving material in the range, though still not for the wall directly behind a burner.
• Framed art under glass (Cottage): framed florals run about $15 to $31, and glass wipes clean. This is a sensible default for steamy kitchens.

Honest take: the cheapest pieces are the most disposable. A $7–$13 MDF sign is a fun one-liner, but it won’t age into something you’d keep. Treat it as a rotating accent, not the foundation of the wall.

Picks by budget

These are US full-price listings, and stores and weeks vary.

Under $15: small or galley kitchens
One oversized fork or spoon on a narrow wall (Farmhouse/Vintage, $12.99). A single tall piece fits the slim gap beside a fridge or doorway without crowding it. Before: a blank strip that feels forgotten. After: one deliberate focal point.

$15–$40: medium kitchens with a dining nook
Pair a framed floral ($15–$31, Cottage) with the metal windmill ($31.99, Rustic) or the Rustic Tree Round Wall Decor ($34.99, Farmhouse). Hang them beside the table, not on the cooking wall. If your only free space is the strip up high, decorating above your kitchen cabinets covers what suits that gap.

$40–$100: larger kitchens, or anyone who wants it to look custom
Two DIY pieces beat one shop-bought one. Hunker reports a bamboo-basket idea: wall baskets filled with faux baby’s-breath sprays, two bouquets for under $100. Another idea fills a large black frame with faux blooms priced around $1–$1.50 a stem. These figures are undated, so check the shelf. (Farmhouse, Cottage.) Before: three matching signs. After: a pair of baskets and one big framed arrangement.

How to make store-bought look chosen

The real problem with any chain-store farmhouse piece is that your kitchen ends up looking like a showroom. Four fixes:

1. Use the rule of one. Buy one Hobby Lobby statement piece, like the windmill or a large framed floral, and pair it with two things that didn’t come from a craft-store aisle: a thrifted frame, a vintage cutting board, or handmade pottery.
2. Swap the frame. Hobby Lobby lists custom framing as always 50% off the marked price (frame only). A modest print in a better frame often looks more considered than a prefab canvas.
3. Skip matched sets and word signs. A set reads as “bought in one trip,” and a sign reading “Gather” says nothing about you.
4. Edit down. Three well-sized pieces on a wall look more intentional than seven small ones.

When Hobby Lobby actually discounts wall decor

• Deal sites describe wood and metal wall decor rotating to 50% off about every other week, with a new weekly ad each Sunday. One guide says 40%, so treat the exact percentage as week-dependent.
• Mirrors, frames, and furniture have standing discounts in Hobby Lobby’s own promotions: mirrors 50%, frames 40%, furniture 30%.
• Items tagged ‘Your Price’ are excluded from further discounts.
• The 40% single-item coupon is disputed. One deal site says it ended in 2021, and others still describe it. Don’t plan a purchase around it.
• Seasonal lines start at 40% off from mid-summer through October and rise to 50% in early November. If you’re also shopping Christmas pieces, read kitchen decor ideas for Christmas that survive cooking day first.
• Online orders can be returned within 90 days, but shipping charges aren’t refunded unless the error was Hobby Lobby’s.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Hobby Lobby sell farmhouse kitchen wall decor?
Yes. Its farmhouse range includes wood and canvas wall decor, metal pieces such as a windmill, and resin fork and spoon decor, mostly priced between about $13 and $56 before discounts. Stock differs by store, so check the product page or call your local branch before making a special trip.

When does Hobby Lobby put wall decor on sale?
Deal sites say wood and metal wall decor rotates to 50% off roughly every other week, with a new weekly ad each Sunday. Mirrors, frames, and furniture carry standing discounts. Items tagged ‘Your Price’ are excluded, and one source quotes 40% instead of 50%, so check the current ad before buying.

Does Hobby Lobby ship to the UK or Australia?
Apparently not as a standard service. There’s no Hobby Lobby store in the UK, and one retailer guide says it doesn’t accept international orders. UK and Australian readers often use a parcel forwarder, buy resold items on eBay, or shop local equivalents such as Hobbycraft or Kmart.

Can Hobby Lobby wall decor go near the stove?
Mostly no. Listings show many pieces are MDF, canvas, or resin, which absorb grease or can warp near heat. Metal and framed art behind glass cope better, but keep everything off the wall directly behind burners. Put wood and canvas on drywall, such as beside the dining table.

Quick reference

Before you buy: read the material line, decide which wall zone it’s for, pick one statement piece plus two non-store items, check the current weekly ad, and confirm stock at your branch.
