Here's How to Add Rustic Charm to Your Christmas Decor

Defined by natural textures, reclaimed woods, distressed metals and earthy colors, rustic home decor is less about designing perfectly modern interiors and more about arranging comfortable, warm spaces. During the holiday season, it's especially important to make living areas feel as cozy as possible — with plaid throws, fresh green garlands, DIY Christmas wreaths and burlap everything. For ideas on how to weave a country aesthetic into your home for the holidays, we've rounded up rustic Christmas decorations that are super easy to recreate.

If you're worried that farmhouse Christmas decorations can't feel modern, rest assured that isn't the case. You don't have to go full-on country to blend festive holiday touches with vintage rustic charm. You can decorate a wooden ladder with Christmas cards, create a rustic Christmas table setting with pine sprigs or fill a Christmas tree with homemade ornaments, glittered acorns and burlap garland. You'll also find inspiration for outdoor decor, like displaying galvanized buckets and firewood racks on the porch or hanging natural wreaths from the front door.

While some of these Christmas decor looks may require a trip to the store (or a quick browse on Amazon or other popular online retailers), you can recreate a ton of these styles by repurposing items you have at home or in the backyard. For an inexpensive solution, grab a few pinecones from out back and see what you can DIY. As you scroll, you'll discover that the tiniest of details can have a big impact.
