Timber and Christmas styling go together naturally. The textures, warm tones and organic lines of solid timber blend perfectly with summer celebrations and festive gatherings. Here are twelve simple and Pinterest friendly ideas for creating a Christmas home that feels calm, natural and beautifully cohesive.

One

Create a centrepiece using a timber tray layered with candles, greenery and linen napkins.
Use a timber console or dining table as your styling base in the hallway or dining room.

Two

Style a minimalist Christmas tablescape using your solid timber dining table.
Add ceramic plates, hand tied stems of eucalyptus and neutral linen runners.

Three

Use timber bowls or trays to hold ornaments, pinecones or small festive decorations.

Four

Layer soft textures like linen and cotton with light timber accents such as a timber armchair or stool. Do the same in your bedroom if you have a timber bed. 

Five

Add greenery in ceramic vases to complement the natural grain of solid oak. Whether it is on your timber console, side table or dining table. 

Six

Use timber boards to serve Christmas treats or cheese platters.

Seven

Create a small Christmas advent station by using a timber tray dressed with eucalyptus branches, light coloured ornaments or ribbons and 4 candles

Eight

Use a timber stool as a side surface for a small vase near the Christmas tree. Use it to place your mince pies and carrots for Santa & his reindeers. 

Nine

Choose ornaments in earthy tones that complement timber instead of plastic or metallic colours.

Ten

Hang a minimalist wreath of dried botanicals above your guest bedroom bed (or yours!) for a soft holiday touch.

Eleven

Feeling crafty? Make white paper snowflake garlands to hang around the home or in the kids bedrooms. 

Twelve

Create a calm corner in the guest room by adding soft festive touches like a linen stocking, a Christmas candle or a sprig of eucalyptus.

Happy festive season!
