Most Beautiful Christmas Cottage Decor Ideas

I started decorating for the holidays, but before I show you my Christmas Home Tour, here are some beautiful Christmas cottage decor ideas I have been inspired by.

This Christmas, I want to go for a simpler style — I can usually not help myself to use every last ornament we have on our Christmas tree.

When my son was little, I didn’t have the heart to stop him from hanging every last ornament on the tree, because he loved trimming the tree so much. So we usually end up with a very colorful tree.

My goal for this year is to decorated more sparingly first, take the pictures for the Home Tour, and then let him go to town. We’ll see how that works out.

But to be fair, the rest of the Blue Cottage usually also overflows with Christmas decor, and that is all my doing.

This is how I decorated our living room for Christmas a few years ago.

I’ve been very inspired by the following images for Christmas cottage decor, and they all have one thing in common — they are not dripping with Christmas sweetness.

I already decided on a theme for this year and can’t wait to reveal it, but first, I hope you will enjoy these photos.

I created a similar tiny “Christmas tree” using greenery from our trees and a mason jar years ago for my bedroom.

And last year I made a little tree for our kitchen, with just one teeny-tiny ornament:

This is an elegant, simple idea my friend Yvonne created in her Stone Gable kitchen.

Now, isn’t this cute? Anyone can replicate this little tree in a bowl — and I just might with my milk glass collection.

Here is another idea I might use: replacing the apples I usually have on my vintage scale in the kitchen with greenery and tree ornaments.

Less is more sometimes, right? I’m trying to keep that in mind this year.

I also like this idea: paint a cheap plate with chalkboard paint and draw a simple mistletoe on it:

All of these decor ideas obviously also work if you want to decorate in the farmhouse look.
