I’m pretty happy that vintage, antique and farmhouse decor is so in this year because that means more thrift store shopping for me! It also means you can decorate a lot cheaper because there are so many ways to DIY this stuff.
When I think of farmhouse decor, I thik rustic and cozy meets a touch of modern with just a little bit of kitsch. If you’re as obsessed with it as much as I am, Christmas is the perfect time to bring this country charm into your home.
I’ve put together 25 Farmhouse Christmas Decor Ideas that are simple, beautiful, and won’t cost a fortune. Let’s get festive!
1. Rustic Wooden Signs
Grab some reclaimed wood and create your own Christmas signs (or buy them if you’d rather – I won’t judge). Think phrases like “Merry & Bright” or “Joy to the World” in farmhouse fonts.
2. Buffalo Check Everything
Throw in some buffalo check in reds and blacks. From throw pillows to table runners, it screams farmhouse holiday.
3. Galvanized Metal Buckets
Fill galvanized metal buckets with fresh pine branches, birch logs, or even tiny faux Christmas trees. They look fabulous lined up on a porch or as part of a centerpiece.
4. Farmhouse Stockings
Opt for neutral or plaid stockings with simple details like leather straps or wooden name tags (I’ve seen a bunch on Etsy). Hang them from an old wooden ladder if you’re looking for something more unique than a fireplace mantel display.
5. Mason Jar Magic
Use mason jars as candle holders or mini vases. Add Epsom salt to mimic snow and top with red berries or sprigs of pine. It’s a simple DIY that looks so charming.
6. Wooden Bead Garlands
Wrap wooden bead garlands around your tree or drape them over a mantel. You can even DIY these for an afternoon craft project.
7. Cozy Knit Blankets
Drape chunky knit blankets over your sofas and chairs. They not only look inviting but also make your space feel extra warm and cozy.
8. Antique Sled Display
Prop up an old sled against your porch or by the fireplace. Add some pine garland and a bow, and you’ve got a stunning focal point.
9. Farmhouse Christmas Tree
Decorate your tree with burlap ribbon, wooden ornaments, and tiny galvanized metal stars. Think simple and neutral, with little pops of red here and there.
10. Vintage Lanterns
Use vintage lanterns as part of your decor. Fill them with fairy lights or small ornaments for a magical glow.
11. Burlap and Twine
Wrap gifts in plain kraft paper and tie them up with burlap and twine. Add a small pinecone or sprig of greenery to each for a natural, farmhouse feel.
12. Enamelware Bowls or Crocks
Fill enamelware bowls with pinecones, ornaments, or fresh citrus. My mother-in-law used to have several vintage crock containers on her counter. They stored utensils year-round, but they also look great with seasonal decor. They look perfect on a farmhouse kitchen island or as a centerpiece.
13. DIY Farmhouse Ornaments
Create your own ornaments using materials like wood slices, burlap, and jute twine. You can even stencil on holiday words for an extra farmhouse touch.
14. Pinecone Garland
Make a pinecone garland and drape it over a doorway or along your mantel. It’s cheap, easy, and totally rustic.
15. Grain Sack Table Runner
Use an old grain sack as a table runner. If you can’t find one, check out fabric shops for a similar look. Pair it with simple greenery for a beautiful tablescape.
16. Chalkboard Art
Hang a large chalkboard in your kitchen or entryway and write a festive greeting. It’s a great way to add some farmhouse style with little effort.
17. Wicker Baskets
Fill wicker baskets with extra firewood, pine branches, or cozy throw blankets. It adds texture and warmth to any room.
18. Wooden Advent Calendar
Make or buy a wooden advent calendar that fits your farmhouse theme. Fill each day with little surprises for the kids (or even the grown-ups!).
19. Flannel Sheets and Pillows
Swap out your regular bedding for cozy flannel sheets. Add plaid pillows for an instant holiday refresh in your bedroom.
20. Fresh Wreaths
Hang fresh wreaths on windows, doors, or even over mirrors. Add a simple burlap or plaid bow for that farmhouse finish.
21. Old Milk Cans
Repurpose old milk cans by filling them with greenery or lights. They look great as porch decor and are a nod to farmhouse history.
22. Wooden Spool Candle Holders
If you come across some vintage wooden spools, use them as candle holders. Add dripless candles for a romantic, farmhouse vibe.
23. Jute Tree Skirt
Wrap a simple jute or burlap tree skirt around the base of your tree. It ties in perfectly with a rustic farmhouse theme.
24. Ladder Blanket Holder
Use an old wooden ladder to display cozy Christmas blankets. Lean it against a wall in your living room for added texture.
25. Handmade Garland
String together cranberries, dried orange slices, and popcorn to create a handmade garland. It’s an easy and beautiful way to bring that farmhouse touch to your tree.
