Nordic Farmhouse Red and White Theme Christmas

This year for my decor I decided to add in some red to brighten and give it a Nordic Farmhouse feel.

Every year I try to do a different decor theme with what I already have and just add some touches or change things up to get a new look from previous years. It keeps it fun and new for me each year.

Starting with my tree, I added the red to all my white and crystal ornaments with just tying off red and white checked fabric bows and adding red and white candy canes to them. The drapes I made out of summer tablecloths that I found on the clearance rack and just sewed a header to make them work for curtains.

I wanted to let the reds do the popping in the decor this year.

Here is a picture of the tree lit. It is so hard to get a great picture with all the lights I have on this tree.

My dining room is the main entertainment area we use during the holidays. This is the room we gather to eat, laugh, love and be all together.

I like natural and simple. Just adding a check ribbon to this flocked wreath gives a statement on the chippy wall door divider without over doing.

I like keeping my cherished pieces in place and just add things to bring in Christmas.  This way I do not have to put anything away and can just embellish what I have.

Keeping the chippy in the decor with my candle sticks. Adding some greens along with a simple white ribbon help to bring Christmas to my candle sticks.

 Farmhouse Christmas Mantel-Junk Chic Cottage-How I Found My Style Sundays Christmas Edition- From My Front Porch To Yours
For my mantel this year I used old frames I had from around the house and just added Greens and touches of the checked ribbon to bring in a winter garden feel. I then hung some red and white stockings and added the birch logs and greens to the chippy fire place log holder. The greens in the log holder have lights and give the soft glow at night like a real fire would give.

I love using my old frames to hang the greens on. Just gives some depth and character to the mantel.

Natural greens and ribbon make a statement hanging on the frame.



My most cherish pieces in my Christmas decor are my collection of angels. Angels give me the feeling of serenity and love so having them throughout my decor is important.

I like to keep my decor light hearted and simple. I entertain and love that we recently made this coffee and dessert bar in my dining room. It is a great area to have for my guests to relax and enjoy.

I have the tree up where this reading chair was so I moved the chair over to this corner of the room. I love to sit and read being surrounded by my Christmas decor. It is a bright warm spot to sit and relax.

Keeping my neutral palette and just adding simple touches of red gave me a sweet farmhouse look to my Christmas dining room.

  7. Well, you KNOW I love, love, love it, Kris! You have outdone yourself and it is not OVERdone either. Perfect. I found a set of electric logs and put them in my old wood grate on the front porch and leave them "burning" LOVE it! Don't you love those old grates? xo Diana

And I"m so proud of you for stepping outside your comfort zone and taking the plunge to add red this year. Even if you hadn't, your home would be Christmas lovely, but the red is charming.

  17. Jumping up and down, clapping my hands like a five year old in complete awe of the Christmas wonder!
    I am becoming suspicious of your true identity. Are there short people dressed in red and green running around building dollhouses and bicycles????

  18. Hi Kris, Your home is gorgeous and I love the red this year. I added it too and it just warms up the white and black I use.
    Love your angels and your trees are so pretty. Everything about your home is amazing and I am always inspired when I visit!!
    My next door neighbor was from Norway and she used red and white in the Nordic look too. Lots of hearts she added as a tradition from Norway and your home reminds me of the time she lived here. I miss her!!
    Thanks for sharing.

  23. Kris,
    Your dining room and coffee bar looks like the merriest spot this side of the North Pole. All your attention to detail is amazing ... The wreaths, Angels the tree, every inch was sprinkled with Mrs. Kris Christmas love and creativity. Love it all.

  30. Dear, dear Kris!

    MY GOODNESS your home is stunning! As generous as my husband is with accepting my ideas to change things around in our house, he still won't let me make EVERYTHING white...as I see you have and what I WANT! Your French doors in that chippy white texture..how gorgeous is that! But he did say I could paint our ceiling exposed beams an Annie Sloan chalk paint white! YAHOO!

    I just barely saw your comment on my blog...I WON? I DID?

    My goodness, that is awesome - I had no idea I would! OK, I will contact you with my information! Be back in a moment....Anita

  36. Kris, your DR area where your family & friends gather is picture-perfect in its holiday reds on white. Your angels always hit a sweet spot for me too - esp. that one with her winter coat on. I know the feeling of relaxing in a favorite chair, and Christmas lights just soothe the soul, don't they? Merry Christmas, my friend.
