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.
Are you ready? Here we go!

What a beautiful, cheerful and festive family room! It looks like the perfect place to gather around and enjoy Christmas the family!
Hi Suzy, I’m a green/red gal when it comes to Christmas as well. And I love all my traditional decorations and I just can’t leave them in my attic. And my family would be so sad if I didn’t bring out the traditional ornaments each year.
I enjoyed your house tour! Thanks for sharing.
Hugs, Lynn
but, you kinda rocked my world when I saw all those wrapped presents! I have so much to do!
Wow, now isn’t all that red and green and nostalgia just the cat’s meow!! So warm and inviting. Love it.
Hi Suzy, Everything is just beautiful and also cozy at the same time! Thanks for sharing! Blessings, Janet
So beautiful! Love all the pops of red… so festive!
Suzy your living room is perfect! I love all the little touches like the basket of gifts, the nordic garland, and the Santa and lantern on your coffee table. You are a superb decorator and really sparkle at Christmas.
Merry Christmas!!
Wow, loving this home tour, you added such tremendous detail! Your tree is just gorgeous Suzy, loving the ribbns you used too.
Beautiful and sooo welcoming. I’m a traditionalist and use red every Christmas, it’s the one time of year that should be bright and festive. I love your tree, especially the use of several types of ribbon and garland. The red gingham tails were a darling touch. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Keep the inspirations coming you are a talented lady!
Oh it looks so great! I like the red/green pom pom garland on the mantel! And someone recently suggested I make a white pom pom garland this year out of cotton balls. Is that what yours is made out of on the tree? I had never heard of such a thing, but yours looks so cute I think I may try it out!
Hi Heather. My white pompom garland is actually made from white pompoms. I found the garlands at Hobby Lobby. But, what a great idea to make one using cotton balls! Wish I had thought of that!
Suzy – everything looks so cozy and festive. I love the plaids and reds…just my style. Have a merry Christmas! ~ Angie
Your family room is beautiful! I could cozy up in front of your fireplace and your incredible tree and not move until January 🙂 I love all of your red and green elements – so classic for Christmas 🙂
Wow what a stunning room! I love everything about it. I am new to your blog and I love your style.
Wow, this looks amazing! Now all I want to do is cozy up by your fireplace amongst your beautiful decorations! 🙂
OH I just love all those decorations! So very pretty and festive!
Wow, what a beautiful room! Love your tree and your fireplace decor!

How cozy! The fire in the fireplace makes this room all the more appealing.
Gorgeous. Your room looks so inviting…. Christmas wonderland. Thanks for sharing on Funtastic Friday!
Hi! Where is your green garland from on the mantel and where did you find all the plaid wrapping paper?
Hi Robin. The greenery on the mantel isn’t a garland, it’s actually just branches from faux greenery bushes that I pulled apart. The plaid wrapping paper came from Dollar General, but I just saw some at HomeGoods last night. 😀
Can’t get enough of your style…My favorite blog by far.
This is such a welcoming and festive space! Your tree is gorgeous and I love your mantel decor!
