Farmhouse Style Is Perfect for the Holidays
There’s just something about farmhouse holiday décor that instantly feels warm, welcoming, and full of nostalgia. The mix of natural textures, soft neutrals, and simple elegance makes it the perfect setting for family gatherings and big holiday feasts.
This year, we styled a warm and cozy farmhouse holiday table using neutral linens, it’s an easy look to recreate (even if you don’t live on a farm).
Start with a Neutral Color Palette
The foundation of any great farmhouse tablescape begins with a neutral base. Think soft whites, warm beiges, creamy ivories, and a touch of muted green or red.
Other classic farmhouse color combinations include:
White + Sage Green
Beige + Silver
Muted Red + Cream
Black + White (for a modern farmhouse vibe)
Cream + Warm Wood Tones
Stick to a neutral base, then layer in natural elements—like wood chargers, linen napkins, or sprigs of greenery—to add depth and warmth without overwhelming your table.
Layer in Texture and Natural Elements
Farmhouse design is all about texture and authenticity. Add a mix of rustic and refined elements—like wooden candle holders, woven chargers, and simple greenery garlands.
I love mixing materials:
Linen or burlap table runners
White ceramic dishes
Vintage-style glassware
A dash of greenery or pinecones for that holiday feel
The goal is to create a table that feels inviting, not overdone—like your guests could sit down and stay awhile (or at least until dessert is gone).
Add Cozy Details
Think candles, plaid napkins, and handwritten place cards. It’s the little details that bring farmhouse holiday charm to life.
Remember: farmhouse style isn’t fussy—it’s relaxed, layered, and full of heart.
A Farmhouse Table That Feels Like Home
Setting a farmhouse holiday table doesn’t require fancy china or an interior design degree—just a love for cozy simplicity and a few well-chosen pieces. With soft neutrals, natural textures, and The Folding Tablecloth’s elegant linens, you can create a space that’s both beautiful and inviting.
