Northwoods Christmas Vibe

The Northwood Christmas vibe is a nature lover’s dream come true. Hikers, bikers, and national park enthusiast’s will enjoy the laid back tone of the holidays featuring wood, bark, and antler substrates; textiles in rich red, black, and white plaids; and decor depicting bear, deer, songbirds, and more. The Northwoods Christmas often goes hand in hand with a house normally outfitted in farmhouse decor or a lake home or cabin. The overarching vibe is casual and warm, and just begs for you to snuggle under a warm (probably plush and plaid) blanket with a mug of cocoa.

Northwoods Christmas Tree

The Northwoods Christmas tree (aka rustic Christmas tree or farmhouse Christmas tree) is classic in shape and color, covered in white lights, and pine cone accents. It is adorned in rustic Christmas ornaments such as chickadees or cardinals, metal cut out reindeer, farmhouse bells, sisal animals, or birch bark canoes. The Northwoods Christmas tree might be topped with a basic Christmas star and finished with a black and white checkered tree skirt. For an updated twist on a Northwoods favorite, swirl a gorgeous red and black plaid ribbon around on your tree!

Northwoods Christmas Decor

The Christmas tree doesn’t get to have all the fun when it comes to a Northwoods Christmas. Just about every part of your home can take part in the aesthetic, from the front door to the kitchen. You’ll love immersing yourself with the warmth of Northwoods holiday decor. Trade out year round tabletop decor for a cozy gnome or a wooden reindeer. Spruce up your dining room with a table runner featuring pine trees and season’s greetings. Spread holiday spirit from the Christmas tree to the fireplace with a pre-lit evergreen garland draped over the mantle, perhaps sprinkled with antlers, pine cones, and other natural items. Even the kids can get involved with an Elf on the Shelf outfitted in your favorite holiday plaid!

Maybe you’re only looking to dabble in the Northwoods theme this year- that’s ok! Try adding a few small touches here and there. A few sprigs of evergreen with red berries tucked artfully into a pair of hanging antique skis or snowshoes can bring holiday cheer to an existing decoration. Black and white plaid pillows with Christmas messaging livens up a hallway bench. A holiday wreath and door mat provide a welcome landing pad for guests, and a plush plaid blanket draped over the sofa invites them to snuggle in and stay a while. Look around your home to find creative ways to incorporate the Northwood Christmas vibe and you might surprise yourself with what holiday magic you can achieve!
