The Best Farmhouse Christmas Decoration Ideas
1. Plenty of greenery and candles for your Christmas mantel
To give that outdoorsy and country feel to your home include plenty of evergreen outside of just your Christmas tree!
Adding some large white candles helps to keep the neutral vibe rather than giving too much of a cabin vibe. The farmhouse decor trend uses plenty of light, pastel, and neutral colors.
2. Chalkboard wooden signs
DIY Christmas decorations work perfectly within the farmhouse Christmas decor niche.
Thrift or upcycle chalkboards, add wood on the edges, and leave them in their natural rustic state. Then you can add Christmas messages onto the boards!
If your home already has a lot of wood you can simply paint the frames to brighten up your space.
3. Mini frosted Christmas trees
Collect mini ceramic containers to place small Christmas trees around your kitchen or living room.
Add a dusting of white paint to bring in that winter wonderland feel.
4. Bring a pop of color with holly berries
Be sure to keep those holly berries on your greenery!
Christmas farmhouse decor includes a lot of neutrals so be sure to add holly berries to break up the neutrals and greenery to keep your decor looking interesting.

5. All the Christmas wreaths big and small
Don’t hesitate to include plenty of wreaths. You can use classic large wreaths with bows or even use smaller wreaths as center pieces, around candles or even as napkin holders.
6. Add gingham bows to your Christmas tree
You can’t have a farmhouse decor post without mentioning gingham or bows!
Both are classics but especially recently bows have become incredibly trendy. They add a sweet touch to your Christmas tree, garlands or even on the backs of kitchen chairs.
7. Sweater pillows for a cozy vibe
You don’t just want your Christmas decor to look pretty but also to feel cozy. You can easily upcycle old sweaters to make simple holiday pillow covers.
I love these green and white ones as they tie in perfectly with the Christmas colors.
8. Fairy lights in the kitchen
Bring some warmth in to balance out the harsh look of tons of white in your Christmas home decor.
These are beautiful to string under kitchen cabinets, in mason jars or of course around your Christmas tree.
9. White pitcher with evergreen for bouquet
You probably already own a white pitcher that you use for iced tea! Simply transition it to a vase for the holiday season to add a few evergreen leaves to.
For added charm, add a few wooden or felt ornaments to the display!
10. White ornaments on your farmhouse Christmas tree
White or tan ornaments, plenty of sparkles, wood, pinecones and felt ornaments all make the perfect farmhouse Christmas ornaments.
Add some white or pastel paint to them to fit perfectly with your other decor.
11. Christmas centerpiece with ornaments
Fill a large ceramic bowl with shiny Christmas ornaments but leave enough room for a tree!
This is the perfect way to include a mixture of farmhouse decor with the more common look of shiny, bright and metallic Chirstmas decorations.
12. Source vintage pieces for a unique look
There are plenty of modern farmhouse Christmas decor pieces to choose from but in order to get a truly unique look you may need to check out vintage shops, flea markets or thrift stores.
With a bit of cleaning and paint you can bring old signs, jars or vases to life and have them fit perfectly with your holiday decor.
13. Keep it simple with bows and burlap
A simple strip of burlap makes the perfect Christmas table runner and you can even add a textured fabric on top to complete the look.
If you love bows, add a few to your centerpiece. Bows make everything mimic a gift which of course fits perfectly into the holiday theme!
14. Greet guests with twinkly stars in your entryway
You can find paper and metal stars just about everywhere during the Christmas season.
I love to hang them up as garlands or scatter them across an entryway table for a bit of holiday cheer.

15. Forage pine cones and other natural materials for a country feel
Keep your Christmas decor budget friendly by heading to your backyard or local park and collecting pine cones, leaves, branches and bark.
With a bit of holt glue, paint and mindful styling you truly can make small arrangements around your home with simple pieces!
16. Place your Christmas tree in a basket
Skip the Christmas tree skirt and opt for a tree collar or basket to keep your tree steady this year.
The woven texture offers that earthy feel and it is a bit more unique than a fabric tree skirt.

17. Wooden garlands and clay garlands
Use some air dry clay and some twine to create a simple yet beautiful holiday garland for your Christmas tree.
You can also pick up some wooden balls from the craft store to use in a similar way. Both fit the theme perfectly as is or you can paint them for added charm!
18. Use kraft paper for a budget friendly sign
Pick up a roll of kraft paper to create a stunning yet simple holiday sign for your home. Leave a bit at the bottom so that it looks like a scroll.
This sign is the perfect blend of rustic charm and natural coloring with the rough brown paper.
I hope this post gave you tons of ideas for bringing a bit of cozy charm to your home this holiday season! There are plenty of ways to upcycle items you already own (like old Christmas decor) or thrift items to create unique and rustic Christmas decorations that fit into the farmhouse theme!
