Get This Look: Fixer Upper Living Room from The Americana House
We’re back with a new Fixer Upper ‘Get This Look’ post, this time with the modern industrial farmhouse stylings of The Americana House living room (Season 5, Episode 18).
It’s crazy to think that The Americana House was the last house Chip & Jo created as part of their Fixer Upper series. A perfect end note to their many Fixer Upper masterpieces, The Americana House is a prime example of Joanna’s signature, sought-after style. The expert mix of modern, industrial, and farmhouse design elements make this living room feel cozy and comfortable.

In the meantime, are you ready to create your own version of a Fixer Upper living room? Today we’re showing you how with 7 helpful tips!
When it comes to overhead lighting in a living room or dining room, Joanna seems to favor industrial style chandeliers. The American House living room is no exception. Candle-style industrial chandeliers are extremely popular right now. To achieve a similar look, we’ve rounded up some affordable chandelier options.
You can’t really be a Fixer Upper fan if you don’t love shiplap walls. This timeless farmhouse design element has made a major comeback over the past few years thanks to our gal Joanna. The good news is that it’s easy to recreate the shiplap look in your own home no matter the room. Check out six of our DIY shiplap projects below.
Add an on-trend and classic piece to your Fixer Upper living room by choosing a mid-century modern sofa or sectional (depending on the size of your space). The grey sectional Joanna chose for The Americana House provides ample seating for a family and takes up a majority of the room.
Add personality to your mid-century modern sofa with embellished throw pillows. Did you know that Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines is available at Pier 1 Imports? There are tons of Joanna-approved furniture, rugs, and throw pillows to choose from. Keep your design versatile by mixing and matching pillow sizes and patterns. Below you’ll find some of our favorite Magnolia Home throw pillow options.
Keeping with the room’s neutral color scheme, the space is anchored with a large white and grey rug. The understand graphic print pairs well with the mid-century modern sectional and embellished pillows. Selecting a textured neutral rug adds visual appeal and makes it a focal point in the room without being too loud or flashy.
A simple modern coffee table is easy to style while also being functional. Add a few plants, a candle, and a short stack of books and you’re done. No fussiness or excessive styling required. The matte black metal finish and thin legs of the coffee table in this space flow well with the other modern elements in the room.
And last but certainly not least, be sure to incorporate a variety of house plants in your Fixer Upper living room. Greenery fosters an appealing, lived-in feeling to the space. Artificial house plants and trees are great options if you don’t have green thumb. Often times faux plants can also be more affordable (especially because they never die!).
