After nearly 10 years of building homes in Joplin, MO and the surrounding areas, we’d like to think we know a thing or two about decorating a new home. Getting your house ready for the holiday is an important part of getting into the Christmas spirit. Since Christmas is just around the corner, we’re guessing that you’ll be decking your halls before you know it!
While Christmas trees, stockings and wreaths are the norm for most homes around the holidays, it’s always exciting to add fun new items to your tried-and-true Christmas décor. There are so many styles you can incorporate during this time of year - from traditional to modern to rustic farmhouse, and everything in between.
Keep reading for some merry, bright and oh-so beautiful Christmas decorating inspiration.
Rustic Farmhouse
Decorating for a rustic farmhouse Christmas at this Schuber Mitchell home consisted of mixing lots of buffalo plaid and burlap, as well as elements such as wood, metal and flocked garland. In the kitchen, we added a few miniature Christmas trees to serve as the dining table centerpieces, along with a burlap table runner.
Hanging flocked wreathes on your windows is another way to incorporate the natural rustic elements of a farmhouse Christmas into your home.
The entryway is understated and cozy with more flocked miniature trees flanked by two industrial style lamps.
An easy way to wow your guests during the holidays is to switch out your normal entryway wall art with a Christmas themed wall decoration instead; and this metal Christmas Tree Farm sign fits the bill perfectly.
The holidays are often a time where we find ourselves in the kitchen baking much more than usual, so why not make it festive? Adding garland, wooden Christmas signs and even a small Christmas tree will make your baking spirits bright until you ring in the New Year!
Minimal & Modern
Modern Christmas decorating requires thinking outside of the usual Winter Wonderland box. You can simply add your own modern flare to your holiday style by sticking with minimal lines, colors and shapes throughout your home.
Simply adding fun, functional elements (like this #JOY lumbar pillow) immediately adds a youthful Christmas spirit to your home.
Looking for a unique twist to really make your fireplace mantle stand out? We used this fun rainbow-colored garland paired with playful mix-and-match stockings for a modern, yet paired down look.
Keep it minimal with these wooden monoline Christmas trees and all-white stocking holders.
If you really want to modernize your Christmas décor, look for unique items like these miniature tinsel trees! They are small enough to be spread throughout your home while making a big statement.
Incorporating one small element everywhere from your side tables, kitchen counters and bookshelves creates a cohesive, minimalistic look. You can even use your miniature trees as place settings during your holiday meal!
Classic & Traditional
Traditional Christmas décor doesn’t just look sophisticated, but it’s relatively stress-free. Taking on a traditional holiday style is all about collecting items that will stay looking timeless year after year.
Simple holiday touches such as Christmas bells, classic red and white pillows and small table trees flanking the fireplace make for one splendid traditional Christmas at this Schuber Mitchell home.
You can easily accomplish this look by sticking to a classic red, white and green color palette. Decorating your fireplace is a timeless Christmas move, but you can breathe new life into your mantle by mixing pinecones, berries, LED lights and leftover Christmas ornaments throughout your garland for a show-stopping family room.
Swapping out your vases with Christmas greenery and berries makes for a perfect traditional holiday look – wrap some twine around the stem of your vase for extra festive flare.
