Tips for decorating with a rustic theme this Christmas
If you’re thinking of switching up your Christmas decorating theme to a rustic one this year, think stylish and pared back with a limited colour palette. We’ve all seen those gorgeous Scandi Christmas set ups on Pinterest thinking how amazing they look and how it would be the perfect feel for Christmas – you can achieve it! Let’s explore a few ways you can create that Rustic Christmas feel throughout your home this year.

Add Some Texture


This theme isn’t all about how the space looks, a big part of a rustic theme is that you want to create that cosy and warm ambience. Here’s a few ideas on how to create that feeling! An easy way to get that feeling is to add textures throughout your home. Fill the space with chunky knits, candles, wooden logs and natural materials.

Add Soft Lighting


Fill your home with soft lighting to set that cosy Christmas atmosphere. Try to avoid using overhead lighting and stick with lamps or candles to really get the ambience perfect. While candles may not be the best to have lit all day long, there are many led candles out there that will replicate the feeling closely.

Lastly, fairy lights are a given at Christmas so make sure you have some at the ready. If you’re sticking with the candle light feeling, go with warm white fairy lights so you have consistent hues of light throughout your home.

The Decorations


A rustic Christmas theme is all about embracing nature in your decor. To achieve the look you should focus on pared back materials like wood, hessian or foliage and stick with these neutral colour palettes. One of the main goals of decorating in a rustic way is bringing the outdoors in, so the more greenery the better!

The key things to remember for a rustic Christmas theme are to keep things clean, simple and natural. Add a trendy rustic feel with our gorgeous wooden buntings, all of their designs are simple and elegant. They would look perfect hanging above a mantlepiece or against a wall around your home.

If you don’t want to buy all new decorations, then why not try and repurpose some of your old ones? You could try re-painting some baubles in more neutral colours, we’re sure it will look great! (As long as you don’t want to revert back to the old theme any time soon!)
