My Cozy Farmhouse Christmas Family Room
I decorated my family room with lots of cozy farmhouse Christmas decor and I can’t wait to share it with you!
It is with much excitement that I join this year’s Home for the Holidays blog tour sponsored by Sondra Lyn at Home! This is the 3rd year for her HFTH tour, and we promise to bring some of the most awesome home decor, craft and recipe ideas you’ll find anywhere. It has gotten bigger and better each year and I think you’re going to love what you see! So stay tuned – it’s 30 blogs over the week, with a different topic each day. Be sure you come back here every day to get the links for that day’s featured holiday blogs! Links to everyone’s post can be found at the bottom.
If you’re new here, welcome to Worthing Court! Let me show you around our cozy farmhouse style Christmas family room. It’s my happy place right about now. Over the years, I’ve used traditional Christmas decorations, whimsical decorations and neutral decorations in my family room. Those were all well and good and I loved them at the time, but this year, I’ve returned to my Christmas roots!
My Christmas “roots” lie in the traditional colour scheme of red and green – but in an updated farmhouse’ish way. Like many of you, I grew up with holiday shades of red and green at Christmas, so my decor this year makes me feel all cozy and fuzzy inside!
My decorated Christmas tree is loaded with a variety of ornaments, tartan plaid ribbon, checked ribbon, a white pompom garland and a Nordic sweater garland that I fell in love with (from Kirkland’s).
I’ve wrapped all of the gifts in a fun variety of patterns of lively red and green Christmas wrapping paper with a touch of black thrown in for good measure.
I love to surprise people by displaying my gifts in unexpected ways! This year, not only will you find gifts under the tree, they’re also in a basket on the hearth and a galvanized metal tub by the tree. And see those plaid boxes stacked on the hearth? They’re actually photograph boxes that are already wrapped with plaid paper!
Our couch is directly across the room from the fireplace. I only needed to add a few Christmas touches to this side of the room – a few Christmas throw pillows on the sofa and a Santa Claus and lantern display on the coffee table.
And my DIY rustic ladder got dressed up with Christmas throws in a variety of plaid patterns, topped off with a stocking filled with faux greenery and red berries. Did you know that I made that blanket ladder? And that it was super easy and cost under $20? You can find the directions for how to make one HERE.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you have yourself a Merry Little Christmas! Be sure to visit the rest of the blogs for their wonderful Christmas decorations and recipes.

I am going to have to make myself a ladder. Your home looks so inviting & wonderful. Keep the wonderful ideas coming.
Loving the classic red and green! It does remind me of my childhood. Looks great!
Oh I love a traditional red and green Christmas. This is stunning. Your room looks amazing.
Thank you so much, Suzy, for going with traditional red & green! I really like the addition of color …. it is so boring to visit these “farmhouse” or “French country” blogs and see the same thing over & over again. I’m interested in these looks & styles of decorating, but weary of everyone basically copying each other. Thank you for going back to color, it’s beautiful!
Love the red and green – so cheery.
I totally agree with Kay. I am tired of the “all neutral all the time” theme that has taken over blog land. Christmas is a time to celebrate and break free from normal decorating, and you nailed it! I love the traditional red and green done in such a tasteful way. Your home is so festive and welcoming, and of course, beautiful.
I love your Christmas decor!
I love your Christmas family room. Stunning. Such a wonderful blog. I love everything about it & Thank you very much for sharing your gift.
Loving all the rustic farmhouse style and the plaid and red buffalo checks!! Everything is so inviting! I’m definitely into red this year and black and white check with my new gray walls. Love the height of your new tree! It balances the room so well ???
WOW WOW WOW! Its the perfect combination of gorgeous and cozy!
Love your Christmas family room, every inch of it! I really like the traditional red and green with the pop of black. Your tree is so adorable! I keep coming back to it! Your creativity certainly gives me lots of inspiration and ideas.
Everything is so beautiful! Where did you get all of the precious ornaments? Like the little “It’s cold outside” pillow and the little list? I love all of those things!!!
Hi Candy. I don’t have an “It’s Cold Outside” pillow – do you mean the little “It’s A Wonderful Life Pillow”? If so, I can’t remember where in the world I got that. I’ve had it a couple of years. The Christmas list is a free printable that I made and turned into an ornament with a Mod Podge and a piece of precut balsa wood from the craft store. You can read how I did it and get the link to the printable at this link: http://www.worthingcourtblog.com/6-last-minute-diy-christmas-ornaments/
Suzy, I love everything!! I took red and green out of Christmas over the last few years. Now I’m rethinking!!! You have the sweetest ornaments! I was happy to see you on the tour! Hugs.
I love using traditional colors of red and green to decorate with for Christmas. Everything looks great. Thank you for sharing your fabulous family room.
Beautiful home! I agree with you on the traditional red and greens for Christmas, it makes me warm and fuzzy inside too! Love all the plaids and unique touches, it’s so fun to see how other people deck their homes for the holidays. Merry Christmas!
Oh, Suzy, your home is absolutely gorgeous!! I love everything about it – that mantel! The big tree! It’s all amazing. So happy to have you back fro the HFTH blog tour!! Hugs!
Red and Green will always be my favorite Christmas color scheme. Your family room looks gorgeous and I hope you spend many happy hours enjoying it this December with your family.
I am all about red during the holidays, too. Your family room looks absolutely beautiful. So festive!
Suzy – you never disappoint! Your home is absolutely beautiful! We love your updated traditional Christmas decor…just gorgeous!
I usually change my Christmas colors every year but went with red and green this year. I love your use of traditional colors. Your family room is so warm and cozy and perfectly decorated. Thank you for sharing all your ideas.
