Don’t underestimate the power of your own gift wraps as decoration, after all, they’ll be spending most of their time sitting under the tree! You might as well make it count.

Plaid and chessboard-like patterns are perfect for a country style, as well as simple brown paper wrappings.

2. Kitchen decor

Having wooden ornaments will already be of great help here, but they’re not obligatory. Although we can’t help but mention those wooden open shelves, a nice addition to your kitchen even outside of the holiday season!

To decorate your kitchen country style, keep it simple – the kitchen is a busy place during the holidays, so you don’t want anything getting in your way.

A simple garland on the window, a new carpet, and perhaps a nice plant on a vintage bucket will get the spirit of Christmas across!
