Clean & Cohesive Farmhouse-Style Coop

📍 @fiveacresonbrook on Instagram
 🪴 Rhode Island Coop + Rhode Island Run

Kristen’s setup is the definition of “cohesive backyard style.” Her Chicken Coop Company Rhode Island Coop, paired with the matching Rhode Island Run, has been painted a crisp white to match her other sheds and buildings—creating a polished look that blends seamlessly into her yard.

What we love about this look is the simplicity. Painting your coop to match the rest of your structures instantly pulls your space together. It doesn’t have to be white—Kristen’s choice just happens to pop beautifully against her green grass and tidy landscaping. The clean paint job also highlights the structure and craftsmanship of the coop itself, which is one of our most popular models.

This is one of those chicken coop decor ideas that’s equal parts form and function: the paint adds protection against the elements, while making the whole space feel intentional. Kristen proves that a backyard can be both productive and polished.

Takeaway Idea:

Paint your coop to match surrounding structures for a unified, intentional look—perfect for suburban homes, small acreages, or neat-freaks (no shame).

Garden-Coordinated Coop With Charming Touches

📍 Julie from Texas
 🐔 Leghorn Coop (custom painted)

Julie took a classic Leghorn Coop and turned it into a green-hued garden showpiece. Painted in a soft sage green with bold charcoal trim, her coop feels like a miniature farmhouse nestled right into a raised bed garden. And get this—she even painted her garden beds to match.

Talk about commitment to the aesthetic.

She didn’t stop at paint either. Julie added small decorative details like a festive wreath on the door and flower-filled planters at the base of the coop. And yes, there’s a rooster weather vane on top. It’s over the top in the best way—because if you’re going to raise chickens, why not have some fun with it?

This is one of our favorite chicken coop decor ideas because it proves that color and coordination go a long way in making your coop feel like a real part of your outdoor space. It’s stylish, it’s personal, and it doesn’t sacrifice function.

Takeaway Idea:

Use bold trim and color coordination between your coop and garden features to create a high-impact, photo-ready setup.


THE Pink Poultry Club

 🌸 Leghorn Coop + Orpington Lodge Extension

Jessica took “chicken keeping as self-expression” to new heights with her whimsical pink-themed coop. Her Leghorn Coop, paired with the roomy Orpington Lodge Extension, sits proudly in a backyard space filled with charm and personality.

This is a great example of how chicken coop decor ideas can be as bold as you want them to be. The pale pink color gives it a cottage-core feel, and she’s added thoughtful touches like matching garden decor and fun signage. The result is a coop that makes you smile the second you see it.

Jessica’s setup shows that even with a more compact coop model like the Leghorn, you can go big on style. Whether your aesthetic is vintage farmhouse, boho backyard, there’s room for your style.

Takeaway Idea:

You really can get inspiration from anywhere, even a catchy song! This coop is fabulous and outside of the box, so there is really no limit to what you can do.

Not a Painter? No Problem.

Not into paintbrushes or pastel palettes? We get it. Not everyone wants to spend their weekend color-matching chicken coops to their garden sheds. Luckily, there are plenty of chicken coop decor ideas that require zero gallons of paint and still make a big impact.

Here are a few of our favorites:

  • Add a plant stand nearby
     A simple tiered plant stand with herbs or flowers can make the coop area feel more lived-in and welcoming. Bonus: herbs like lavender or mint help repel flies.

  • Top it off (literally)
     One of our customers added a giant metal chicken sculpture on top of their coop. It’s definitely not subtle, but it sure does give the space some personality. Is it necessary? Not even a little. Do we love it? Absolutely yes.

  • Install a coop sign
     Sometimes all it takes is a little sign with your flock’s name (or a clever chicken pun) to give your coop a polished, finished look. It’s a fun weekend DIY, or you can buy a pre-made one on Etsy.

These low-effort, high-reward touches can turn even the most basic setup into something uniquely yours—no paint fumes required.

Your Coop, Your Style

Whether you’re going for polished white, garden-coordinated green, or full-on pink poultry palace, one thing’s clear: our coops are built to be made your own. From the Rhode Island’s classic shape to the Leghorn’s compact footprint, every coop we offer is a blank canvas. The structure and quality are there—you just get to add the personality.

FAQs

What are some easy chicken coop decor ideas for beginners?

Start simple! Add a coop sign, hang a few potted plants nearby, or use outdoor-friendly décor like a wreath or garden statue. You don’t need to overhaul the whole space to give it personality—small touches go a long way.

Can I paint my chicken coop? Is it safe for the chickens?

Yes, you can absolutely paint your coop! Just make sure to use non-toxic, exterior-grade paint and allow it to fully dry and cure before letting your chickens back in. Many owners choose paint for both protection and style. Even if you don't paint for a decorative look, we HIGHLY recommend staining the wood to make it last longer, and be protected from the outdoor elements.

How can I decorate my coop if I don’t want to paint it?

No paint? No problem. Try adding decorative trim, hanging planters, a fun weather vane, or coordinating your coop with nearby garden beds or landscaping. Accessories can give your coop personality without a full makeover.

Do chickens care about how their coop looks?

Not at all—but you do! Chickens are more concerned with safety, space, and ventilation. The décor is all about making your backyard feel cohesive and making your daily chores more enjoyable.
