Winter Wonderland Christmas Decor
A dreamy white farmhouse in the snow calls for the simplest of Christmas decor. Here, swaths of greenery frame the wrap-around porch. A vintage Jeep Wagoneer is the ultimate outdoor decoration.

Evergreen Christmas Farmhouse Decor
Lovingly named "The Christmas Room," this farmhouse living room boasts an already built-in holiday look of red plaid wall-to-wall carpeting and evergreen-colored paint (Lafayette Green by Benjamin Moore). The year-round decor is the ultimate backdrop for vintage holiday collectibles, including 4-H ribbons found at the bottom of a thrift shop dollar bin, Shiny Brites, toys, paint-by-numbers, and vintage grainsack stockings.

Fresh Greenery Christmas Decor
Topiaries and other indoor plants in classic terra-cotta pots may be used for decoration year-round, but add a giant swath of greenery and a red gingham pillow to this farmhouse bathroom and
voilà—instantly festive!

Jingle Bell Christmas Decor
In this Tennessee farmhouse breakfast room, a snow-spritzed fiberglass bell that once hung in a 1950s department store makes the breakfast table (a roadside score!) the perfect spot to ring in Christmas morning. The extensive collection of white dishware provides ample places to tuck in greenery and tiny ornaments.

Apples to Apples Christmas Decor
In this Michigan farmhouse, white ash planks connect to the white ash trees in the yard and a simple swag pays tribute to the adjacent orchard. To re-create the look, use a skewer to puncture a hole through an apple, close to the center, then string wire through the fruit and secure wire to the garland (here, Fraser fir). Thermoses, lanterns, and an apple red cooler add a vintage layer.

Happy Holiday Christmas Decor
This white Michigan farmhouse is the happiest hideaway for Christmas in the country. A bright red door beckons visitors inside for hot cocoa, while the mint-green vintage Ford Bronco adds nostalgic oomph to the snowy scene.

Drink and Be Merry Christmas Decor
A rustic chest of drawers with a mirror above is home to a group of collected treasures. Here, two red bows and stacked cigar boxes (also in red) are grouped together using "The Rule of Three," a decorating trick of arranging items in odd numbers, which is more appealing to the eye. Repurpose a planter into an ice bucket to keep hard cider at the ready.

Modern Farmhouse Christmas Decor
A simple bed frame made of iron is dressed up with a plaid duvet and pillowcases that can easily be swapped out after the holiday season.

Winter Sports Christmas Decor
Have a little fun with your outdoor decorations. Celebrate the season's activities by tying on a pair of ice skates to a wreath and propping the sled against the porch wall when not in use. Sweet trim around the porch creates a charming and warm welcome.

Better Off Red Christmas Decor
Vintage linens are stored in an old cabinet that becomes an instant holiday vignette when draped with a single garland and topped with deer figurines. A pair of plaid skis propped up in the corner completes the vignette.

Merry and Bright Christmas Decor
A weathered wood crate centerpiece ushers in glad tidings to the table, while greenery and bright red bows on a pair of bell jar light fixtures bring joy above. The same red ribbon is used on the wreaths hanging on mirrors above classic wainscoting.

A Touch of Tartan Christmas Decor
A round wreath adorns a blue wooden sled that acts as a festive door stop in this farmhouse entry space. The simple tartan touches here carry on throughout the home.

Pops of Red Christmas Decor
In an otherwise white kitchen, strategic pops of red (on the cookware, dish towels, coffee mugs, rug, even the range knobs!) keep the space feeling lively for the holiday season.

Rainbow Brite Christmas Decor
Shiny Brite wreaths lend cheer to an equally vibrant Pyrex collection that's happily displayed in a farmhouse kitchen built-in. Pro tip: Take color cues from what you already have and love to inform a more intentional holiday decorating style.

Red Ribbon Winner Christmas Decor
A celebration of horse country, this dining room mantel and table is decked out in a collection of vintage trophies and a wreath made of red prize ribbons.

Mad For Plaid Christmas Decor
This Connecticut farmhouse dining room with its heirloom-quality furniture and white dishware collection is the picture-perfect backdrop for a casual, collected tablescape featuring a stockpile of plaid throws. "I love that they create such a colorful, warm, and rich foundation to my place settings," says homeowner Nora Murphy. "When dinner is done, I throw them in the wash on cold and dry them on low. It works like a charm."

Simple Elegance Christmas Decor
A single wreath tied to the decorative headboard elevates this guest room to festive farmhouse status. The wallpaper is reminiscent of candy canes.

All Is Calm Christmas Decor
Often-overlooked spaces (bathrooms, bedrooms) benefit from one or two festive accents. Here, a simple wreath hung with a red ribbon centered over the farmhouse tub goes a long way, as well as a towel in a look-at-me crimson.

Vintage Vignette Christmas Decor
This farmhouse stairwell gets its collected-over-time vibe from a horse paint-by-number, vintage pennant, plaid blankets, and impressive treasure trove of Shiny Brite ornaments, all perched atop a crusty farm table.
