Design Details To Inspire You From One Of Joanna Gaines' Favorite Fixer Uppers

Chip and Joanna Gaines created so many memorable home transformations across all five seasons of "Fixer Upper" that it feels almost impossible to pick a favorite. However, as far as Joanna's concerned, there are some renovations that stand out above the rest. The home design star has worked her magic on all kinds of abodes, each with her own unique touch of rustic charm and modern elegance. Whether she's turning an old property into a cozy modern farmhouse, giving a room a sleek contemporary makeover, or designing must-have home decor, the Magnolia Network star knows her way around creating a masterpiece. She also knows when she's done something extra special. 

One of Joanna's favorite projects is among the most talked-about homes in "Fixer Upper" history — and it's easy to see why. When it came time to rework the Aguilar family's ranch style house, Joanna masterfully incorporated stunning natural details like stone and wood to give the home a modern Mediterranean vibe that feels both luxurious and grounded.

In Season 5, Episode 5 of "Fixer Upper," Chip and Joanna Gaines turned a 1970s ranch home into a Mediterranean-style marvel. After the episode aired, she took to Instagram to show off one of the bedrooms, writing, "The details and style of this week's Fixer Upper house may be one of my all time favorites!" It's easy to see why. Thanks to raw materials like the stone wall and wooden headboard featured in the bedroom, the space feels earthy and serene, while creating an inviting atmosphere that blends luxury and comfort. And yes, the rest of the room is just as gorgeous. 

This "Fixer Upper" design nailed the concept of Mediterranean style, which is typically characterized by its neutral aesthetic and earthy textures. If you want to decorate your home like Joanna Gaines decorated this particular house, try incorporating soothing color palettes, cozy rugs, natural textures, clean hardware, and cool farmhouse lighting fixtures. Exposed wood beams are also a solid move. As Joanna wrote on her Magnolia blog, "We installed this raw wooden beam on the vent hood to tie into the beams in the living and dining areas, making the room feel like an extension of the other spaces and carrying that Mediterranean feel into the room." Fixer Upper" gave us many design tricks to live by over the years, but this episode is always worth a revisit.
