What colors to use in a farmhouse Christmas décor?

It’s amazing how much you can do with greenery, especially when it’s a farmhouse Christmas decor that you have in mind. You can make garlands for the mantel, the front door and the staircase railings and wreaths which you can casually hang pretty much anywhere you want. This foyer featured n blesserhouse is a good source of inspiration in this sense.
Another cool idea is to give the tree a full and fluffed-up look by including all sorts of decorations like faux flowers, garlands and so on. Of course, the tree itself should fit the style in the first place. For more cool and inspiring ideas, check out this tutorial shared by Laura Beverlin.

Fireplace mantel decorated farmhouse-style

The soft and earthy neutrals that are such a staple of the farmhouse style are still going to be around but in a slightly different form. For example, the basic whitewashed wood and gray hues are being replaced by honey hues which are still very much farmhouse.

Something beautiful made from simple and basic items

You can do a lot of great things with very basic stuff. For example, fill a bucket with a few big tree branches or thin trunks, some greenery and a string of battery-operated lights. You can display it at the entryway or in a room corner. Find more charming ideas such as the ones we just showed you on christmasadventures.
It’s enough a few inherently cozy elements with something Christmassy to get a perfect farmhouse-style decor. For instance, place a few knitted accent pillows next to a mini Christmas tree and you’ll instantly change the ambiance in the room. Find more inspiring ideas like this one on farmhouseonboone.

Tiny Christmas tree for a cozy farmhouse vibe

Christmas is just around the corner so there’s not really that much time left to get everything ready. When you put everything on a list, there’s a lot to be done so it’s best to start a bit earlier and to gradually find new ideas and add to your lovely farmhouse Christmas decor which, by the way, is a wonderful theme.
Want something festive and colorful to put in the middle of the dinner table? How about a Christmassy centerpiece that you’ve made yourself from scratch? Don’t worry, it’s not difficult to do. Like any farmhouse project, it’s a simple process. For this one you need things like a large can, holiday napkins, glue, floral foam, floral sprigs, berries or evergreen clippings, some moss and twine. More details can be found on crayonsandcravings.

Mix and match decorations for a bit of eclectic charm

Don’t have a fireplace with a mantel to hang stockings from on Christmas Eve? That’s ok because you don’t really need one. If you have a wooden fence post you can actually make a really cute farmhouse-style stocking post. There’s a tutorial for it on shadesofblueinteriors if you’re interested.
The farmhouse style in general is defined by simple colors that are found in nature, predominantly the earthy tones like beige, taupe, brown, some greys and whites and a bit of terracotta too. You can mix and match these easily as they complement each other really well.

Wooden Noel featuring a Green wreath

Before you actually start picking out the decorations and ornaments for this Christmas you should settle on a style. Assuming you want a farmhouse Christmas this year given that you’re reading this, let’s talk a bit about color.

Put the tree inside a wooden planter for instant farmhouse charm

The farmhouse style goes hand in hand with anything handcrafted and with DIY projects in general, especially when it comes to decorations. Also, just like the lovely tutorial created by the Designed to the Nines channel shows, farmhouse Christmas decorations don’t have to be expensive.
Wreaths are perhaps the most versatile Christmas decoration of all. A simple green wreath like the one featured on blesserhouse could look beautiful just about anywhere. Hang it on the front door, a window, a wall or use it to decorate your entryway mail station.

Set up a faux fireplace with a mantel

You can make these miniature ribbon trees in addition to your regular-sized Christmas tree or as an alternative to it. Either way, they’re really cute and easy to make. All you need is some green burlap ribbon with wire, a dowel, a piece of cardboard, glue and styrofoam blocks for the bases. You can decorate the bases with more ribbon or using something else. There’s a complete tutorial on thegirlcreative.

Simple, light colors for a Scandinavian vibe

Apart from all the classy neutrals such as white, beige and gray, a farmhouse Christmas decor also needs an actual accent color, otherwise it risks being boring. Of course, you’ll have a green Christmas tree which will break the monotony but perhaps you’d like to add another less conventional color to the mix. This serene light blue featured on findinglovely seems like an exquisite option.
One of the most inspiring farmhouse Christmas decors ideas we found this year comes from ribbonsandglue. The piece of resistance is a vintage ladder. It’s the perfect support for all these Christmas-themed ornaments.

A cohesive farmhouse décor for the whole house

The modern farmhouse style is already popular. Its popularity is increasing even more as more and more designers and home owners are transitioning towards new and contemporary materials and finishes but keeping the overall farmhouse vibe in mind.

Christmas lights for a bit of sparkle

Vintage ladder as a farmhouse décor centerpiece

Let’s start with the obvious, the centerpiece, the focal point of the whole Christmas home decor: the tree. You can expect a farmhouse Christmas tree to be decorated with simple ornaments made of wood or with globes made of rope. Another common way of making this style more prominent is by replacing the usual tree skirt with a more heavy-duty stand/ cover such as the one featured on simplydesigning made out of a galvanized tub.
Since it’s Christmas you probably also want your décor to look fun and festive and that basically asks for an accent color or two. In this case focus on warm nuances like reds to bring out the beauty in your décor and to emphasize a few focal points without them looking out of place.

A wood clock advent calendar above the mantel

Another awesome idea comes from thriftyandchic. That’s where we first saw this wood clock Christmas advent calendar. Actually it’s not just this decoration that looks charming but the entire setup. There’s something very peaceful and classy about it.

The farmhouse style is based on a solid foundation of timeless elements such as natural materials, soft neutral colors and a cozy and homely vibe. These never really go out of style although they may slightly change appearance next year and in the future.

Use a Christmas wreath in a creative way to make a custom display using wood or cardboard letters. For example, you could make a charming NOEL sign. If you’re not particularly font of french terms, perhaps you’d prefer a JOY sign instead.
