No Problem with Christmas Decorating in November

This year, I did what I’ve never done before: I started decorating for Christmas in November. Not, late-November-close-to-Thanksgiving-ish November. Like, early November. 

It started when one of my sons had a fever and we couldn’t go to the aquarium like we had planned. It was Veteran’s Day weekend, and as a consolation prize, I pulled out the Christmas decorations. 

I have to say, as we are approaching Thanksgiving – this whole decorating early thing? I am sold.  I LOVE having my house all set for Christmas by Thanksgiving, instead of pulling everything out when we are trying to rouse ourselves from the Thanksgiving turkey coma.

All the World Sees a Christmas Porch

In 2018, we had just moved into our home the 2nd weekend in December, so as we were unpacking boxes, I was throwing up some Christmas decorations in every direction to camouflage the disarray.  The next year, I wanted to be a little more thoughtful about it.  

Porches are one of my favorite areas to decorate because:

A. We don’t get a lot of visitors during the season, so while I love the decor inside, it’s only a few of us who get to enjoy it. Porches at least feel a little bit worth the effort.

B. There’s enough space in a porch area to create a whole vignette, and I love the unity of that look.

This was my very first Christmas porch, circa 2019. This was as far as I got on my porch, but it was my first time having a porch to decorate, so I was kinda in love.

Over the years, it’s progressed and changed a little more (you’ll see them in the roundup!), and it’s still a favorite area to decorate!

Instagram: The Go-To for Beautifully Curated Decor

Today I want to share some legitimate farmhouse Christmas porch eye candy to inspire you from the some of the very tip-top: Instagrammers.  Instagram is known for its unbelievable gorgeous and curated photos.

And there are some on Instagram who truly have hit their sweet spot when it comes to farmhouse decor, in particular – Christmas and Christmas porches. I mean, breathtaking.

These kind Instagrammers share their beautiful photos to offer the world inspiration for our own porches and homes. I’m always screenshotting and mentally collecting ideas, and I hope you’ll find the look that you’ve been searching for. 

There are so many ways to do a farmhouse Christmas porch, and I’m sure you’ll find just want you’re looking for. 

The pictures I’m sharing are really just the tip of the iceberg. I encourage you to go look at and follow their accounts (and leave them some comments!) 

Usually, they’ve shared pictures of the rest of the porch that can’t fit into one picture as well as the rest of their houses.  You’ll find inspiration for DAYS. Weeks, even, I bet.

Pro-Tips for Decorating Christmas Porches

So when it comes to decorating the porch, you can narrow it down to a few tips to really help you make the most of your space.  Below I’ll outline some of those.

1| Find Your Style

There are so many directions you can go in, when it comes to farmhouse decor. Are you more rustic? Modern farmhouse? Traditional? Minimalist? Do you want a snowy winter wonderland? A lush green Christmas tree farm? Lots of ornaments? More natural decor?

See if you can identify the particular style of farmhouse you’re going for.

What about your color scheme? Are you more into neutrals? Bright reds and greens? Natural greens and snowy whites? Buffalo check? Black and white? Icy whites and red berries?

(PSA: If you like the minimalist/Scandinavian-type style for Christmas, here are 40 ideas and DIYs to inspire you!)

As you look through the pictures, pay attention to the styles and colors that really appeal to you, and use that as a base to build on.

2| Add Some Height

When you’re filling a porch, think about the blank space and how to use it. Height is a great way to decorate, even if you are more of a minimalist.

You can use a chair or a table as well as crates to lift some of the decor. A tall tree in the corner adds height as does a tall farmhouse sign. Stringing lights, buntings as well as a garland around the door are all ways to create height.

You can also add a sign to the wall to pull some vertical lift.

3| Use Those Layers

Layers are a great way to add depth. Put a buffalo check rug under your welcome mat. Prop a signboard in front of your Christmas greens. Strategically placed decor can add dimension to your porch, even if it’s small.

You can layer up and layer out as well.

4| Natural Elements for Cheap Decor

Christmas is a great time to use what you can find in nature (and for free).

A lantern or a hurricane vase filled with pine cones looks amazing. Some cypress, junipers, or pine clippings can be used in planters and crates. Branches and logs in a galvanized bucket also look super-wintery and cozy!

And of course, any kind of Christmas tree is perfect.

5| Cozy Props

If your porch is set up for it, a few carefully placed pillows, throw blankets – even scarves, hats and mittens – can be included in Christmas decor. All of those fabric-types props add a hominess and coziness to your porch display.

6| Nostalgic Props

Farmhouse Christmas porch decor is all about nostalgia, and vintage props work perfectly for that.

You can use galvanized pails and buckets, vintage ice skates, skis, sleds, a snow shovel…all of those props bring back an old-fashioned feeling for Christmas.

Chippy and a little bit weather-worn looks amazing in this decor. Farmhouse signs fit right in this category, too. There’s something about a nostalgic Christmas that brings out all the feels for Christmas.

7| When in Doubt, Copy the Picture

If you aren’t sure where you want to go with your decorating, find a picture you love and do your best to replicate it. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?

I’m sure those Instagrammers and others will be touched that you tried your hand at their creative vignettes. Be sure to tag them if you do!

We might not get it perfect, but I’m sure it will surpass your expectations!

35 Best Farmhouse Christmas Porches

1

Meredith @thegatewayhome

This is so simple, but SO well done. I ADORE those berry wreaths, and a few real unique pieces like the sled and reindeer mixed with the Christmas trees and classy farmhouse signs... just beautiful.

2

Katelyn @farmcharmhomestead

I love the use of just a few colors in this one! A simple black, white, and green color palette is such a striking look. The choice of decor totally ties in and compliments the black door, with the buffalo check and burlap tying it all together.

3

Heather @saltgrassdecor

I love the winter-woods feel of this porch! The flocked trees along with the flocked wreaths create the perfect snowy effect. When you add in those winter greens and birch poles, it feels like you stepped into a winter wonderland. This also can easily transition from Christmas to winter decor afterward.

4

Sarah @caffeineandprayers

I love the outdoorsy, rustic feel of this one! The flocked garland and trees, with the cypress greens in the planter box show that you don't need much more than the natural winter elements themselves. This also is a super easy transition to winter decor after Christmas! Just beautiful! (And that door, though!!!)

5

Liz @casagrella

If you like a bold statement, this one is for you! Those red ornaments and that oversized JOY sign is a perfect compliment to the more subdued flocked trees and wreaths. The lit natural greens garland around the door brings it together perfectly!

6

@MyUrbanFarmhouse

This is a beautiful, magical vignette that just whispers the wonder of Christmas. The buffalo-check-themed tree ties into the black and white chalkboard sign and white sled and gifts. And that galvanized train is a kid's dream!

7

Cindy @cindy.countryroad407

Isn't this the perfect spot to drink some hot cocoa on a winter afternoon? The double rocker is so cozy with the blanket and pillows. The over-sized jingle bell and ice skates add the vintage element. And that berry tree is right out of a winter wonderland!

8

Wendy @lifeontheshadygrove

I love the peaceful feeling of this set-up. With a few well-chosen nostalgic pieces like a snow shovel, a checked pillow, and a thermos arranged with some trees in vintage pails...the overall feeling is so warm and inviting.

9

Sarah @homewithjoanie

This is another one where 'less is more,' and I just love the simple, clean feeling of this porch. A few wreaths, a tall rustic sign, and a layered welcome mat just the right amount of decor for a perfect farmhouse porch.

10

Lana @thewhitewoodcottage

Just love the snowy outdoorsy feel of this porch! The neutral colors of the burlap, sign, and weathered bench add warmth against the snowy flocked tree and greens. Adding something like oversized pine cones and some birch logs finish the woody winter look.

11

Beth @HomeStoriesAtoZ 

I LOVE the black, white and green on this porch. The cozy pillows and buffalo check blanket add warmth to the wintery greens and pine cone garland. The Christmas decor ties in with the black and white porch and house colors perfectly. Adore this one.

12

Lindsey @everydaygracedesigns

I love the mix of simplicity and detail on this porch. The greens of the wreath and trees, the logs and wooden baskets, the black and white in the rug and lanterns. It ties in perfectly. And those stars, boots, and bells on the door are the spectacular finishing touches. Perfectly executed.

13

Shawna @willowbloomhome

I am just loving the colors of this porch! The silver ornaments with the flocked garland and the light blue door - what a stunning color combination! The pine tree, the birch poles, the sign in the wreath and those bells on the door - just perfectly put together. Perfectly magical.

14

Becca @shakerandstone

This porch feels like a cozy, old-fashioned Christmas! The potted Christmas trees and lighted garland along with the plaid pillows on that rocker is so inviting! The perfect farmhouse feel!

15

Sandi @mightymights_farmhouse

This is such a cozy set-up, and the Santa bag and 'No Humbugging' sign adds some fun and whimsy. The snowy tree and hanging snowflakes add the perfect winter touch.

16

Whimsical Treasures @whimsicaltreasuresdecor

How dreamy is this?!? Whimsical is definitely the word! Those lighted trees and garland - lights make everything magical. Such an easy way to add the winter wonderland feeling!

17

Anders Ruff Workshop @andersruffworkshop

Here's another black and white color palette that I love! The white of the birch logs, trees, and ice skates work perfectly with the greys and buffalo check. Adore this display! And you can make some of these projects at their workshops! Be sure to check them out for a location near you!

18

@TaraCottaPots

If you are into buffalo check, this is one to model! The pillows and blankets tie in perfectly with the ribbons. The lanterns, that incredible planter with the Christmas greens all work together for a cozy atmosphere!

19

Angie @modernmeetsfarmhous

I love the simple charm of this one! This set-up easily shows that more isn't necessarily better! The ladder adds some nice height, and the blanket gives it an overall cozy feel!

20

Sonja @slatkagirl

I love the rich textures of this one! The berries, the poinsettias, the thick holly garland, and greens create a ton of depth! The skis add some extra height, and the scarves around the decor are just the right amount of cozy!

21

Christina @thefrugalhomemaker

I love the clean look of this one! So simple but a striking effect! A few essential Christmas decor items - like trees, wreath, garland - plus the lanterns and packages - and you have a beautifully staged porch!

22

Stacey @wilshire_collections

This is a perfect mix of modern farmhouse and vintage! The buffalo check decor is an ideal pair with the rustic sled and sign! It definitely welcomes you to come right in and celebrate!

23

Beth @shady_pines3

Oh, this one! I'd feel like I was on vacation sitting here! This Christmas porch just makes you want to wrap yourself in a blanket with a mug of hot cider! Some well-placed wreaths with some potted greens mixed in among the rockers - you've got a snug winter scene!

24

Heather @beautyforasheshome

Just love the nostalgic feel of this one. The oversized JOY sign and the old-fashioned sled give it some height, and the blanket and pillow add just the right amount of coziness. And that cypress garland adds a striking, luxuriant effect.

25

@1866revival

If vintage is how you'd describe your style, this is one to model! Don't miss all those details hidden among the Christmas greens - the ice skates, the birdcage, even the Coca Cola box! Don't limit yourself to what to include in a Christmas porch vignette!

26

@ourquaintcolonel

This porch gives you all the old-fashioned feels! The Radio Flyer wagon, the ice skates and sled, the picnic basket and thermos, the red truck doormat - this is as nostalgic as it gets! Definitely makes you want to be home for Christmas!

27

@MyAlbertaFarmhouse 

This is a perfect example of how to style up a Christmas porch if you only have a small area. Using one chair to layer and stack items as a central focal point is a fantastic way to make the most of your space! The rug anchors the vignette, and this display shows that you don't need a lot of room for a striking effect!

28

Daune @cottageintheoaks

Isn't this one just beautiful? A few strong pieces like a Christmas tree and skis mixing in with some lanterns, logs, and a simple green wreath goes miles for rustic Christmas decor. And that 'Merry Christmas' sign above the door is the cherry on top.

29

Tina & Taylor @velveteenandgracega

This porch is total vintage charm! The details here are spectacular - the sled, the ice skates, the flocked trees... that red striped ribbon? That basket on the door? Just lovely.

30

If you like bright colors and sparkle, this one is for you! Tied together with striped ribbons and bright colored ornaments, this one has a fanciful, whimsical Christmas feel!

31

Kate @100affections

This is my porch in 2019. I was going with a rustic, outdoor feel by using wood slices and a wood stump table, along with a reclaimed wood sign and a ladder to add some height. The flocked greens mixed with the pine cones finished the outdoorsy, wintery Christmas look I was going for.

32

2020 Rustic Glam Christmas Porch

This is how I progressed in 2020. That was the pandemic year, but it didn't stop me from going all out for my porch. We made a lot of changes - paint the walls white, adding a rug, painting the door. I went with a strong tree theme, and I'm not sorry about it. 😉

Neutral Rustic Christmas Decor (Budget Cozy Cottage Home Tour)

Here you can see that we painted the door black, and it's a bit heavier in a black and white theme. While the year before had minimal red, in 2021, I went with zero red. I added in a little more neutral tones (pampas grass), and it was a very simple change-over to winter.

34

If you happen to live in an area that gets quite a bit snow, it can definitely be added to your Christmas porch decor! I love the idea of leaving some wintery trees and logs buckets on the steps and letting the snow add some free Christmas touches!
