Rustic Farmhouse

This kind of decor for Christmas is becoming more and more popular over the last few years, and there are no surprises there. The reason why that happened is that the rustic farmhouse vibe is similar to the Christmas joy feeling. So, combining them into one couldn’t be anything other than perfect.

Bringing Christmas Joy

This red truck decoration got my attention because of the color red and because it has those mini trees on the back, like someone’s driving that truck to take Christmas to people’s houses and just spread happiness.

You can easily replicate the look with a child’s toy truck you may have laying around or just get a cheap one at your local toy store.

Reindeer Path

Isn’t this just too adorable? Sometimes sticking to a simple Christmas table decor is the best option and this is one of those cases! A simple tablecloth with a couple of plants, some mini trees, and some reindeers…just lovely!

Mason Jars are the center of lots of crafts during the year, so Christmas wouldn’t be different. You can use them to make this gorgeous holiday tablespace with candles and cranberries. Very Christmas-y and you can even take the opportunity to use the lids and create some Christmas tree ornaments.

Stocking Utensil Holders

Now, I realize this may not classify as a tablescape idea, but it will sure help complete whatever idea you decide to go with. Plus, it can’t be helped: your guests will love it! You can either knit them yourself or find some ready to buy.

Red & Gold

Red and gold is a lovely color combination for Christmas to get away from the red and green pattern we usually follow. It’ll create a positive and welcoming atmosphere that you can complete with some Christmas symbols, like trees and reindeers.

Stick to Something Simple

If you want something really simple that doesn’t take a lot of space, this idea will be great for you. Place some pots or jars with cranberries and candles and you’re good to go. Combine that with a nice tablecloth and some fancy napkins to make it more special.

Bonus: Kids’ Table

And of course, we couldn’t help but include a kids’ table here. The little ones love Christmas more than everyone else and it’s only fair for them to have a special table as well, don’t you think? This one from the photo above is a Grinch-inspired table, working with red, green, and candies! The candies alone would already make the children very happy!
