Create a Farmhouse Christmas Theme

Oh, the timeless farmhouse! Regardless of the season, when you think of rustic decor, warm woods, black matte metals, and natural accents, you can basically already smell a smoky fire and the pine needles of a Christmas tree!

Complement these staple features with dark red accents and simple Christmas decorations – such as wooden stars, burlap stockings and pine cones and if you follow our tips below and you can’t go wrong;

  1. Go natural. While this theme takes inspiration from more traditional decor, the natural elements give it a fresh, contemporary feel. Think outside of the box when sourcing your decorations – opt for burlap and hessian instead of velvet, and raw or naturally treated woods.
  2. Take a walk. Want to know one of our favourite places to source decorations for a Farmhouse Christmas? Our backyard! Go for a walk in a nearby park and collect pine cones, gum nuts, and shrubbery to create your own hanging ornaments, table centrepieces and garlands.
  3. Smell like Christmas. Utilising these natural elements as part of your decor not only looks beautiful, but native flora smells amazing so why not make some potpourri. You can also burn a scented candle or use an atomizer with a rustic pine scent.
  4. Keep it simple and use what you already have. Take a look around your home and consider its’ boldest elements. Do you have a feature wall of brick or wood? A fireplace? A beautiful staircase? Consider ways to highlight these strong, homely features, by adorning with simple fairy lights (LINK: copper seed lights) and garlands.
  5. Black matte metal. One of the strongest elements we’ve seen in recent trends is the use of black matte metal in many home décor items. These pieces create a sense of permanence that suits the rustic charm of a farmhouse theme, add some festive red and green and viola!
