French Christmas Décor at the Farmhouse
Tip 1: Antique Finishes and Textures
Gold detailing and sophisticated finishes will never go out of style! This is especially true for French Christmas décor, which has a timeless feel.

This season, you may find yourself with a renewed sense of appreciation for nature. Consider bringing the outdoors in and incorporating nature-themed items into your French Christmas décor. This works well as a cross-over with farmhouse style too.

For a homegrown look, consider soft, muted French Christmas décor colors. Gorgeous natural foliage with creams, whites, blush or copper brings a special touch to any space.
