5 Ways to Spruce Up Your Country Holiday Decor

5 Ways to Spruce Up Your Country Holiday Decor


It's the most wonderful time of the year! 'Tis the season for eggnog, gingerbread cookies, and spending time with loved ones. If you're like most people, you also enjoy decorating your home for the holidays. But if you're looking to change things up this year, or want to create the coziest country holiday home ever, here are five ways to spruce up your country holiday decor.

Accent Pillows
While you may not think of them as holiday decor, accent pillows are a great way to add some festive flair to your home. And they don't have to be red and green! Look for pillows in plaids, stripes, or solid colors that coordinate with your existing decor. Then simply add a Christmas pillow cover or two, and voila! You've got holiday cheer in an instant. Two of our favorites include this adorable sheep pillow and calf pillow, which will look great in any country home.

Statement Pieces
When it comes to decorating for Christmas, it's important to have a statement piece. This could be a large wreath for your front door, a festive garland for your mantle, or even a towering tree for your living room. Whatever you choose, make sure it's something that really stands out and gets you excited for the holidays.

Twinkling Lights
No Christmas decor is complete without twinkling lights. They add a warm, inviting glow to any space and can really help capture the magic of the season. Plus, they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes these days, so you can find the perfect fit for your home. Whether you want a subtle string of lights or a dazzling display, twinkling lights are a must-have for any country Christmas.

Holiday Scents
Scent is such an important part of creating a festive atmosphere in your home. Luckily, there are tons of great holiday-scented candles, diffusers, and even potpourri mixes available. Just a few strategically placed scent-makers can transform your home into a true winter wonderland. Check out this cute snowman candle or Santa candle for some holiday cheer.

Merry & Bright Placemats
Elevate your holiday entertaining with some fun, festive placemats. This is an easy way to add a pop of color or pattern to your table, and it's a great way to incorporate your favorite holiday colors into your decor. We love these plaid placemats, which would look great on any holiday table.

A Touch of Glitter & Glamour
Last but not least, don't be afraid to add a little bit of glitter and glamour to your Christmas decor this year. Some well-placed sequins or sparkly ribbons can really take things up a notch and help you ring in the holidays in style.
