Rustic and Farmhouse Inspired Christmas Decor Ideas You Should Try

Christmas and rustic design and decor go hand in hand. They both inspire warmth and comfort so why not put these elements together and create a rustic or farmhouse-inspired Christmas decor this year? It shouldn’t be too difficult or expensive and it’s a great opportunity to use some reclaimed wood in your project. We’ve gathered a few ideas that we think can give you the inspiration you need to create something truly special this Christmas.

Let’s start with a rustic and cozy-looking entryway that’s all dressed up for Christmas. The hooks hold wreath and lantern decorations instead of coats and there’s also a lovely snowy garland on the shelf. The rustic Christmas sign and the little trees and houses complete the decor.

Throw in some red to create a colorful yet still rustic and charming Christmas decor. Go with a darker and more vintage nuance and complement it with some off-whites, browns and greens. We really like this whole setup shared by ourcottonfarmhouse. It looks very homely and friendly and it really captures the spirit of Christmas.

Since the idea is to create a rustic Christmas decor you can use things like simple wreaths decorated with pinecones and Christmas trees that have a natural vibe. This one is placed in a woven rattan basket and looks really nice. Of course it’s not just decorations that create the rustic and cozy ambiance that you see here but also the furniture, the accent pillow, the blanket and everything else.

If you have a fireplace you should definitely decorate the mantel and the space around it. Use garlands and wooden ornaments to create a rustic decor and keep the color scheme simple and subdued. Try a Nordic-inspired approach since it’s a perfect blend of rustic and modern. A chalkboard sign would be a lovely piece. You can have it displayed on the mantel along with a bunch of other decorations. Maybe you can find inspiration in this design shared by redbrickfauxfarmhouse.

Corners can be difficult to furnish and to decorate but they sure feel cozy. Maybe you could set up a lovely reading corner with a comfy armchair, some fluffy blankets, a Christmas wreath hanging casually on the wall and a miniature Christmas tree in a pot. You could also fill a basket with some goodies such as some greenery, pinecones, maybe some firewood logs too. This was all inspired by a post from bridgewaydesigns.

Give your entire home a farmhouse-inspired Christmas makeover by hanging wooden signs on the walls, wreaths, bouquets of greenery and using a consistent palette of colors for all the elements involved. This way you crease a sense of comfort and you make the entire house feel wholesome and festive. If you’d like more details and ideas, follow jodie.thedesigntwins.
