Pastels are a signature element of feminine style, and they can bring a refreshing twist to traditional Christmas colors. Think soft pinks, mint greens, pale blues, and lavender. Instead of the usual red and green, opt for pastel ornaments, ribbons, and garlands. These subtle hues create a calm, elegant vibe, perfect for holiday decor that feels a little different.
Incorporate vintage-style decorations that evoke the charm of past holidays. Look for glass baubles with a frosted or distressed finish or handmade ornaments with a rustic, worn look. You can also find vintage-style stockings with lace trim or floral patterns, which add a delicate touch to your mantelpiece.
It is all about soft, inviting textures. Incorporate lace, burlap, and soft velvet into your Christmas decor. A lace tablecloth, velvet cushions, or a burlap ribbon around your Christmas tree can bring that feminine touch. Use soft fabric garlands, lace-wrapped gifts, or a vintage-inspired tree skirt to add texture and warmth.
Balance the soft, feminine details with a bit of rustic charm. Weathered wood pieces—like a distressed wooden wreath or a vintage crate for holding presents—will ground your decor and keep it from feeling too delicate. Combining these rustic elements with your pastel colors will give the decor a well-rounded, cozy feel.
Rely on warm, soft lighting to create a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. Instead of bright, harsh lights, opt for warm white fairy lights or soft candlelight. You can even place small, vintage-style lanterns around the room or use pastel-colored candles for a soft glow.
Garlands and wreaths are perfect for introducing shabby & chic elements. Use a combination of dried flowers, lace, and pastel-colored ornaments to create a charming wreath. Similarly, a garland adorned with vintage bells, pastel ribbons, or faux snow can add a soft and festive touch to your mantel or staircase.
One of the key features of shabby & chic is personalization. Add a unique touch by incorporating hand-painted ornaments, personalized stockings, or even a handmade wreath. These small, thoughtful details will enhance the warmth and charm of your Christmas decor.
Your tree should reflect the same softness and vintage charm for a genuinely shabby cottage Christmas. Decorate it with pastel ornaments, lace ribbons, and delicate glass figures. Instead of a traditional tree topper, consider a soft fabric bow or a vintage-inspired star.
By adding these chic elements, you’ll create a Christmas environment that’s both festive and cozy, with a soft, feminine feel that’s perfect for the holiday season.
