When it comes to decorating your home for Christmas, it’s a good idea to have a theme that you can stick to so that it’s easier to pick items to display and arrange. Whether you live in a busy city or a rural cottage, you can achieve a particularly cosy country Christmas decor with just a few items, and this guide will give you some ideas on where to start.
Christmas lights
Popular Christmas decorations for outside the home are Christmas lights, particularly light up reindeer. Positioning these on your lawn will give people a warm glow as they drive or walk past, reminiscent of a country walk in the woods spotting deer.
Artificial Christmas trees
Christmas trees come in all shapes and sizes, including artificial Christmas trees, which are growing in popularity. Continuing the country theme, twig trees are great for bringing the outdoor feel indoors, as are pop-up Christmas trees.
Oversized baubles
Oversized glass baubles can make any tree look stunning. If you continue the same colour scheme as your outdoor lights and other decorations, the baubles can add a rustic feel to any home.
Tree skirts
Tree skirts are great for hiding any particularly unattractive stumps, but also keep that cosy country feel. Popular ones are woven or made to look like a wicker basket, perfect for a cottage theme.
Dried fruit
It might not sound much at first, but natural wreaths made of dried fruit take you right to the countryside with their look and their festive aromas.
