Do you love rustic Christmas decorations? There’s something so charming about the country Christmas aesthetic! Country decor on its own just has a cozy look and feel that is nostalgic, and when you mix that with holiday decorations, it's even better. From festive country tableware to Christmas wall decor to throws, decorating in a country Christmas style can bring so much warmth and charm to every little corner of your home!
This rustic style can truly wrap your home in the kind of cheer that feels so timeless. Also, country Christmas decor is all about creating an inviting space for family and friends to gather, relax and celebrate. So, let’s bring some down-home style into your holiday decorating with a few tips.
Rustic Christmas Decoration Idea #1: Utilize Candles
Candles always seem to be a part of Christmas decorations–especially before electricity became widely used. In fact, people used to put candles on their trees. While we wouldn’t recommend that as it’s a fire hazard, using candles to create a welcoming ambiance in your home is a very timeless way to add charm to any holiday decor. Candles can also add beautiful nostalgic scents to your home. Think pine, cookies, cranberries and more.
Here at Country Village Shoppe, we offer a wide array of candles, but we have many that have been specifically made for the holidays. A few of the scents include the following:
- Cookies for Saint Nick
- Home for Christmas
- Fir Needles
- Yuletide Cinnamon
- Christmas at the Farm
- Mistletoe Kisses
- And more!
With so many holiday-inspired options, you can choose a few favorites that match your style and scent preference, creating a cozy and calming atmosphere that friends and family will love.
Rustic Christmas Decoration Idea #2: Use Festive Tableware
Food is always a wonderful part of the holidays. We all have fond memories of sitting around the table enjoying a meal with those we hold dear. Because serving food is a focal point of the holiday, having a festive table is a must. You can do this by using things like festive table linens as a base. Pick out a holiday tablecloth or even some placemats and cloth napkins in a holiday print.
Then you can choose some holiday-themed plates that complement your linens. Don’t forget a few festive holiday mugs to serve your guests coffee, hot chocolate or tea. You can also find rustic serving ware that will set the holiday mood at your table perfectly.

Rustic Christmas Decoration Idea #3: Add Christmas Curtains
Another way to add country Christmas decorations to your space is by adding Christmas curtains. Swapping out everyday curtains for more festive options can help make a room feel more warm and inviting. While we love a traditional plaid curtain in deep reds and greens, why not go a step further and try something bolder? Try our valance adorned with snowmen, or even a playful moose pattern to add a touch of holiday charm that’s sure to bring smiles to everyone who visits.
Christmas curtains not only dress up your windows but also help tie together your overall country Christmas decor.
Rustic Christmas Decoration Idea #4: Use Christmas Wall Decor
While you’re decorating, don’t forget your walls! Adding a few pieces of holiday-themed wall art is an easy way to fill your home with cheer and make every room feel special. The options for Christmas wall art are endless, and there is something for everybody. You can go classic with an old-world painting of Santa Claus, cozy with a snowman scene or even add a little country flair with a fun painting of a Christmas cow wearing a festive scarf and sweater.
If you’re aiming for a nostalgic feel, you’ll want to choose artwork featuring things like vintage-style Santa illustrations or snowy, rustic building landscapes. Snowmen are also perfect for bringing a cozy, inviting feel into your space. They’re adorable, friendly, and look great in any room. The best part? Holiday wall art is so easy to add and swap out, letting you enjoy a unique, Christmas-inspired look without a lot of fuss.
Here at Country Village Shoppe, we offer a variety of Christmas wall art to match any rustic style. Whether you’re drawn to traditional holiday scenes or prefer a more playful farmhouse touch, our wall art will make your home feel merry and bright all season long.
Rustic Christmas Decoration Idea #5: Add Festive Throws
It’s no secret that Christmas comes at a rather chilly time of the year for most of North America. It’s the kind of time that makes you want to bundle up in sweaters, scarves and mittens. When you’re inside, you want to feel warm and cozy. What’s more relaxing than curling up under a throw blanket? Holiday throws are a versatile country Christmas decor piece.
Festive throws are the perfect touch, adding not only warmth but also a bit of rustic holiday style to any room. And the best part? They’re very versatile! Throw one over the edge of your bed, add one to your favorite chair or put one in your office. The possibilities are endless.
With so many beautiful patterns and colors available, there’s a festive throw for every style and space. Traditional red plaids bring a classic Christmas feel, while throws in more neutral tones add cozy warmth without overwhelming your decor.
Don’t be afraid to mix in some holiday-specific patterns, too! These accents bring texture, warmth and a delightful seasonal touch that makes every room feel welcoming and festive.
