1. Display Woodland Decor
Turn your space into a woodland wonderland this Christmas by adding animal silhouettes throughout your home. Hang a matte white faux deer head to your wall for a neutral addition, or opt for a distressed wooden sign with a pop of white – both farmhouse staples. Add birch branches to your space to create an outdoorsy feel that complements your new silhouettes.
Garlands are a traditional Christmas staple. They add a splash of green to your decor and a textured look to any mantel or bannister. Choose a garland with little to no added accessories to keep the color from overpowering the greenery. Berries work well in garlands, as they add a subtle, understated pop of color. Wrap a matte or burlap ribbon on the garland to tie in a different texture and neutral color theme. Voila – the perfect farmhouse Christmas decor idea!
Looking for an easy farmhouse Christmas decoration idea? Lanterns can be placed both inside or outside and add an aged feel to your home. Opt for a matte black lantern or galvanized metal to bring a farmhouse look to the lantern itself. Choose battery-powered candles to light up your lantern without worrying about the flame dying. For a unique look, skip the candles and add greenery and berries for a Christmas twist on a classic lantern.
Differently textured items, like woven baskets, are perfect for creating focal points even with a neutral color palette (we're looking at you, farmhouse style). Woven baskets offer storage that you won’t want to hide because of their detail and texture. For a Christmas addition, add red bows or cute gift tags to the outside of your baskets. Pair them with a woven throw blanket to match the textures within the space.
Wood accents inspire a down-to-earth feeling that every farmhouse style needs. They offer another texture to your space while keeping a warmhearted, neutral color palette. Apply this to your classic Christmas decorations, like advent calendars, Christmas tree figurines, and garlands. Wondering where to place your wooden Christmas decorations? Next to more wood of course! Place your decor accents by a wood-framed mirror to stay within the wooden theme while incorporating a darker shade.
When it comes to farmhouse decor, galvanized metal accents are essential. Inspired from aged tools commonly used in old farmhouses, galvanized metal works with any color palette. This makes it the perfect farmhouse Christmas decoration idea, because it will pair perfectly with whatever's already in the room! Opt for decor items like trees, candle holders, or bells in galvanized metal.
Farmhouse style is all about the neutral shades, but don’t be afraid to add a splash of color to a room – especially in the name of Christmas. Choose one color that you want to accent throughout the space to keep the overall color palette neutral. For a Christmas feel, opt for a traditional option like berry red. Pick decor pieces that feature your splash of color, like a throw pillow with red lettering, a cream throw blanket with burgundy stripes, or even red ball ornaments on an evergreen tree. Your holiday accent doesn’t have to be red; choose any of your favorite Christmas colors like pine green, gold, or silver to create a festive farmhouse look in your space.
Wreaths are an everyday farmhouse decor staple since this aesthetic is all about simple greenery. One way to stay festive and in line with the farmhouse theme is with a Christmas wreath featuring eucalyptus! These wreaths can be placed anywhere in your home and boost the holiday spirit while also complementing your design style.
Bring your farmhouse Christmas decoration ideas into the heart of your home and dining room by using a cake stand to show off your small holiday accents. Cake stands elevate the farmhouse style because of the homemade baking feel they produce while having multiple tiers of flat surfaces to sit your items on.
If you’re looking to keep your Christmas decor in line with your farmhouse aesthetic, then the minimal approach is best. Keeping your farmhouse decor on the rustic side means using less of the bright red color of the season. Instead, focus on using neutral colors, wooden decor, and lush greenery with a holiday spin.
Whether you’re having Christmas dinner parties or enjoying a nice holiday meal with your family, decorate your farmhouse dining table with aesthetic-appropriate decorations. Small farmhouse table trees and other rustic elements (along your table runner) makes your table extra festive, fun, and carefully decorated for the season.
Ever wondered how you could spruce up your railings? Wrap holiday greenery around the bannister and rails! Hanging a festive wreath on the end and twisting eucalyptus greenery along rails elevates your Christmas decor ideas in a unique farmhouse way while also letting this overlooked area of the home in on the holiday fun.
Since benches are an essential for the farmhouse style, don’t forget to dress up your bench this holiday season. Draping a holiday throw blanket lazily along the edges paired with a few Christmas pillows makes it look cozy and festive. Perfect for farmhouse Christmas decoration ideas!
Plaid is a classic pattern that has always been part of the farmhouse style, and it’s also easy to use during the Christmas season! Hang up matching plaid stockings along your mantel to prepare for the goodies and treats to be opened Christmas morning. These stockings are also easy to blend with farmhouse garland and other mantel decor for a complete design.
Tip!
Don’t forget your stocking holders to keep these Christmas staples in place!
Do you dream of a white (or cream) Christmas? The farmhouse aesthetic features gorgeous neutral colors that are elegant to display during the Christmas season. These light colors are a stunning contrast to the deep green hues of Christmas trees and red ornaments or tinsel.Incorporate this farmhouse visual with creamy beige stockings and other light decorative accents to place on your mantel, coffee table, and other flat surfaces.
Wood – especially shiplap – is a farmhouse staple. If you already have these hardwood planks along your walls, elevate the aesthetic even more by hanging wooden Christmas wall art. Wooden Christmas farmhouse signs can have a weathered appearance that makes them more rustic and farmhouse style-approved. Holidayoliday graphics like the wall art above provide the perfect marriage of the farmhouse aesthetic and Christmas spirit.
For more elegant farmhouse Christmas decoration ideas, style your mantel area with a subtle touch of Christmas. This idea doesn’t cause an entire disruption with your everyday decor since you’re still able to include your normal farmhouse decor along with a dash of Christmas. Like the photo above, pair your greenery and candlesticks with a pair of white knitted stockings or gray wrapped presents. These are a subtle, clean touch of seasonal decor that pairs beautifully with everyday farmhouse decor in an elegant, festive way.
If you have extra room in your dining room, place a Christmas tree in the corner or off to the side to spread Christmas cheer. The green and earthy hues of the Christmas tree adds a nice visual contrast to the light-washed wood and creamy neutrals of a farmhouse style dining room, as in the picture above. Don’t want to take care of a real Christmas tree? Opt for an artificial one instead!
As you set up your living room with your holiday decor, don’t forget to style your farmhouse decorative elements on top of your coffee table! Coffee tables feature lots of room on the flat surface for a decorative tray to sit and display your Farmhouse holiday items. Farmhouse decor trays are primarily built with wood and feature a rustic look that, when mixed with red Christmas decor and lush greenery, give your living room a warm and cozy tray full of holiday cheer.
Take the farmhouse rustic charm to a new cozy level by decorating with a slight mountain-cabin vibe. This take on the farmhouse style still celebrates the light colors, woods, and greenery of traditional farmhouse, but adds in a bonus cozy cabin feel. Incorporate this farmhouse Christmas decor idea by displaying neatly stacked wood in or around your fireplace, adding moose-printed throw pillows, and arranging a few lanterns.
