7 Christmas Styles to Embrace This Holiday Season

Today we’re diving into seven distinct Christmas styles that you absolutely must embrace this holiday season. Every year, we do our own home tours and share some of the most beautiful holiday home styles out there. From our town’s holiday home tour series to our friends’ stunning homes, we share so much amazing Christmas inspiration! 🎄

In this post, we’re breaking down these styles so you can easily apply them in your home, no matter your current aesthetic. We’re linking to some of the most stunning home tours that showcase these styles, so you can get all the inspiration you need!

1. Cozy Cottage Christmas

Cozy Cottage Christmas is perfect if you’re into a layered, collected, and whimsical look. Our friend Shannon’s home is the quintessential example of this style. She embraces simple but impactful elements like fresh greenery, evergreen sprigs, and charming accents like paperwhites and baskets.

Shannon keeps it budget-friendly with estate sale finds and seasonal prints. Her cozy cottage aesthetic is proof that you don’t need a massive budget to create a magical Christmas atmosphere. She even prints seasonal art and frames it with vintage finds—talk about a thrifty win!

2. Traditional Tidings

If you want something timeless and classic, Traditional Tidings is the way to go. Think red ribbons, green garlands, and all the Christmas feels. Jessica of The Old Barn embraces this style with gusto—her tree stretches to the ceiling, and every detail screams holiday magic.

It’s the Hallmark Christmas vibe we all dream about, complete with classic ornaments and a heartwarming red-and-green palette. This look never goes out of style, making it a great option for anyone looking to start fresh with their Christmas decor.

3. Candlelight & Berries

Candlelight and Berries feels both classic and elegant. This year, our friend Stephanie of Blooming Ivy Lane has wowed us with her rich jewel tones, fresh berries, and candles woven into her decor. She even uses dried citrus to bring a warm, nostalgic feel to her home.

Stephanie’s vintage ornament collection gives her space a timeless touch, and each year she finds a way to make it look fresh and exciting. Whether you’re into vintage vibes or you love the richness of holiday berries, this style brings warmth and depth to any space.

4. Farmhouse Fireside Christmas

Farmhouse Fireside Christmas, brought to you by Stephanie’s mom, Robin, is a style that feels like it’s straight out of a holiday movie. The fireplace is the star of the show here, with fresh greenery draped over the mantel and touches of farmhouse charm throughout.

Robin’s home also features a beautiful butler’s pantry with subtle Christmas sprigs and a grandchild’s room decked out with a holiday-decorated dollhouse. This style proves that you can swap out elements with friends and family for a fresh look each year!

5. Neutral Noel

Neutral Noel is all about making a statement without using bold colors. Michelle from one of our recent tours nailed it with her soft, neutral vignettes and layers of vintage finds. From cloches filled with whimsical items to tablescapes that feel cozy and intimate, this style is perfect for anyone who loves a more subdued and peaceful holiday look. Her ability to create charm with such subtle tones is so inspiring—you don’t need color to make a holiday home feel festive!

6. Rustic Lodge Christmas

For those who love the warmth of a cozy cabin, Rustic Lodge Christmas is a dream come true. Last year, Michelle embraced this style in her own home, complete with rustic elements like evergreen branches, taxidermy (controversial but unique!), and natural accents straight from the backyard. If you love the idea of bringing the outdoors in and creating a wintery lodge feel, this style will speak to your soul. Don’t forget the evergreen spray for that fresh forest smell!

7. Kitschy Christmas

Kitschy Christmas is the most fun, playful style on our list. Whether it’s a nostalgic cocoa bar or vintage Santa mugs, this style embraces the quirky and the nostalgic. One of our favorite examples comes from our friend at the Rockwall Holiday Home Tour, where she styled her grandbaby’s space with whimsical, childlike elements that bring joy to any room. Kitschy Christmas is perfect for secondary spaces like kitchens or kids’ rooms where you can go all out without overwhelming the entire house.
