Keep It Natural<\/h2>\n

The most effective holiday decorative items to fit in with a rustic holiday style may be just out your front door.\u00a0 By keeping a lookout, you can amass a great collection of branches and pinecones from your evening stroll or a quick stop by the neighborhood park.\u00a0 Pinecones are an effortless addition to centerpieces and are ideal bowl fillers.\u00a0 While lovely on their own, a swift coat of gold spray paint takes these natural gifts from simple to stunning.\u00a0 Wrap and secure fallen branches into a circle to form a natural yet festive vine wreath.\u00a0 Standing tall in a vase or vessel, branches add texture and height to a vignette. I just scored a few lighted branches to add to my vase of natural branches, clipped from my yard. Hanging ornaments on your collected branches is optional, but highly recommended.<\/p>\n

Scraps of natural material such as jute, burlap, linen and wool can be used here and there to add a layer of soft texture to your decorations.\u00a0 Wrap a foam wreath in wool yarn or tie leftover burlap ribbon around vases and candles.\u00a0 Borrowing from nature and sticking to a natural color scheme of whites, browns, and greens, will prevent your displays from being too overwhelming as well as give them instant charm.<\/p>\n

Deck The Windows<\/h2>\n

If you are still longing for a more simplified style, rustic homes call for natural, textured window treatments. Wood<\/a> or Faux Wood Blinds<\/a>, Roman Shades<\/a> and Woven Wood Shades<\/a> are my picks to add character and panache that is never ostentatious, but refined. Wood and wood tones seamlessly fit into any d\u00e9cor style and Roman Shades are sophisticated and classy, but subdued. Woven Wood Blinds add that touch of organic texture that are made from actual grasses, reeds, and bamboo and other natural elements. Woven Woods continue to be my favorite window treatment for a casual, yet chic look. Browse through all of our collections to find the color, pattern or style to create the rustic spirit this holiday and for all seasons to bring you peace.<\/p>\n
