2024 Holiday Style Guide

YAY! It's the time of year to turn our farm spaces into a cozy, wonderful winter wonderland. The best way to do it is by adding the natural beauty of fresh greenery, natural accents, with pretty, muted accent colors. This holiday season, plan on decorating with nature's gifts to craft a festive and welcoming atmosphere that feels warm and looks stunning.

It’s the MOST wonderful time of the year! We love decorating for the holiday season at the farm with lots of natural materials. This year we decided to decorate the exterior of our spaces with the color combinations of soft, muted tones such as sage green, terracotta, brick red and metallic colors such as bronze and muted gold tones. So very pretty! We love the way it elevates the look of our pretty flower cottage. Unassuming, simple, yet elegant.

Power of Pink

Pops of soft pink strategically placed throughout your decor add a touch of modern elegance to the effect of simple greenery. What can you use? Think about pretty pink velvet or satin ribbons, carefully tied bows, non-traditional ways to add pink to your decor like pretty dried flower ornaments, or dried gomphrena wreaths (shown below) and clusters of shiny ornaments.

Bows are super IN right now so add as many as your heart desires! There also seems to be a trend this year more towards large velvet bows, so the bigger, the better. You can put a bow on just about anything your heart desires and it’s pretty much guaranteed to look wonderful.

Nature’s Elegance

Start by bringing the outdoors in with fresh greenery. Noble fir branches, cedar, and pine not only infuse your home with the invigorating scent of the season but also serve as a canvas for holiday creativity. Drape garlands along stair railings, mantels, and doorways, allowing the vibrant green hues to set the stage for a festive atmosphere.

A well-crafted wreath speaks volumes. Starting with fresh greenery for your wreath, add unexpected dried flower accents, such as gomphrena, statice and strawflower to your front door. From pine cones, cinnamon sticks to velvet and satin bows, create a warm and inviting welcome for guests.

Elevated Ideas

Elevate your holiday decor with a unique twist by using starburst lights as indoor decorations. While typically reserved for adorning porches, we took a creative approach by suspending these beauties from the rafters inside our event barn. The result? A striking design statement that infuses the space with a touch of holiday magic. Picture the awe-inspiring sight of these twinkling lights gracefully hanging from the rafters, their magical sparkle lights casting a breathtaking glow throughout the room. It's a simple yet impactful way to bring the spirit of the season indoors with a touch of whimsy and elegance.

Oldies but Goodies

Can you ever have too many bottlebrush trees? Every year we seem to add more to our collection. In year’s past, we’ve collected many different colors, but this year, we chose a simple green color that looks simple, but pretty in our space. Add a little ‘snow’ from stuffing and twinkle lights and you have a ready made Christmas Village.It’s the easiest, most pretty holiday decoration idea.

As the holiday season approaches in 2024, we hope we’ve given you a few ideas for how to decorate your homes with warmth and festive cheer. Gather inspiration, let your imagination run wild, and make this 2024 holiday season truly unforgettable. Happy decorating & hosting for the season!
