Farmhouse Christmas
A farmhouse Christmas merges a rustic aesthetic with old-time charm, so you'll have no problem mixing your heirloom decorations in with festive canvases, holiday plaids, and buffalo checks.
Exude rustic warmth all season long with Farmhouse Christmas decor. Cozy with a distinctly vintage overtone, this decorating style lends itself beautifully to the holiday season. Hang weathered wooden Christmas signs over a barnwood kitchen table, then top it off with a pine cone centerpiece. Or, lend a rural accent to your mantel with adorable red trucks transporting Christmas trees.
The classic farmhouse is a homey gathering place for family. Give an inviting touch to surroundings with a plaque outlining Christmas family rules. "Catch snowflakes with your tongue" and "come home for the holidays" are just a few of the sentiments celebrating the simple pleasures of winter on the farm. Plus, find lighted canvas Christmas pictures featuring snowy chapels or red barns and invite this iconic farmhouse scenery into your indoor environment.
For an unexpected addition, try lighted Christmas tapestry wall hangings. Hang up a scene with fiber optic lights glowing in wintry pine trees. Mounted over a nailhead sofa, this tapestry greets guests with a beautiful morning scene and lighted Christmas tree. Or, conjure quiet peace with a tapestry featuring cardinals perched on a street lamp. Woodland wildlife is essential to this theme, so be sure to line your mantel with Christmassy reindeer figurines or cardinal accents.
Lighted candle lanterns, meanwhile, lend a fantastical element to your front entry. Accented with holiday greenery and plaid bows, these rustic lanterns illuminate similar patterns in your curtains or a table runner. You can also find standing wooden Santas and snowmen, which are great for greeting guests inside your covered porch.
Bestow warmth on your bedroom with an eggshell-colored quilt. Cardinals, holly leaves, and checked prints in red and green are a subtle way to evoke holiday cheer. Pull on your flannel pajamas and head to the living room to sip your morning coffee. Here, Clothtique(TM) Santas from Possible Dreams(R) are sure to bring a smile to your face. With Santa and Mrs. Claus serving up holiday soup with a touch of nutmeg, these cheerful sculptures add a spirited presence so necessary to Farmhouse Christmas decor.
Fill a vintage milk can with poinsettia flowers, or hang salt dough gingerbread ornaments on your tree. This pastoral style is perfect at conveying the most important themes of Christmas—love and togetherness.
