Now that Thanksgiving is a wrap, it’s time to really get into the Christmas spirit.  I spent some time over my long weekend taking down my harvest decor, (including my Thanksgiving Table..if you missed that post check out all those details here) and began decorating for Christmas…I love this time of year!  Each year there seems to be a new or revived Christmas decor theme or look that I see is all the rage, and this year as I’ve been in the stores, browsed my favorite online shops, and scoured Pinterest, the look is definitely Buffalo Plaid!

…it’s everywhere ladies and you don’t have to live in the mountains to pull off this cozy rustic look in your home.  You can go all-out and make this the overall theme for your home’s Christmas decor this year, or simply add subtle details in with your favorite Christmas pieces of the past, to embrace this style.  Here are some ideas and examples for how you can include Buffalo Plaid decor and style into your Christmas decor this season…

The Christmas Tree

Use patterned ribbon and ornaments for a festive way to add this buffalo plaid look into your tree.  I love all the other red accents that bring the look together in these two trees below…the red lanterns, berries, and poinsettas are great accents.

How gorgeous and colorful is this tree with Buffalo Plaid ribbon, red berries and lanterns, and various other traditional ornaments…just loving how the Buffalo Plaid sets off the unique look on this Christmas tree!

 

I loved this entire look at a floral and gift shop in Alma, Michigan called Tom Billig Flowers & Gifts using Buffalo Plaid ornaments, and bows with plaid and solid black ribbons.

Your Christmas Front Door Wreath

Again, using ribbon is an effective way to add this themed pattern into your arrangements as are displayed in the wreaths below.  I like how these wreaths add other elements of interest in the florals, greens, and sign to create a unique look to welcome guests into your home.

Adorn your Christmas wreaths for your front door with buffalo plaid ribbon, red florals, greens and twigs for a pretty country look.

 

& here is another similar wreath style, but with the addition of a plaid sign in the center with the popular pattern, adding even more of this style into the wreath.

Decorate your Front Porch

Front porches are one of my favorite areas of the home to decorate because it adds curb appeal to your home and is literally the first impression for guests and passerby’s.  These front porches have embraced the buffalo plaid look with subtle touches that pop with the other decorative pieces used.

I love how the front porch rockers in this setup are accented with the buffalo plaid pillows, which really pop on the white chairs!

 

And you can achieve a nice look just by adding in subtle details with the plaid scarf and gift wrapping for a pop of color and theme to this outdoor porch decor.

Accessorize the Living Room Decor

A nice way to add touches of the season into your everyday spaces is with accent pieces… accent pillows, throw blankets, and table runners.  Choosing neutral, solid furnishings really allows you to change up your accents and overall room’s look each season.  Loved how the buffalo plaid pillows and throws work in these two settings…

This room staging was done at Pier One and I thought really captured subtle touches of the buffalo plaid using an accent pillow, throw blanket, and table runner… making a beautifully subtle impact!

 

And again..subtle touches go a long way in making an impression here with the plaid pillow and the red bulbs for a cozy look…and that moose pillow… just adorable!

The Dining Room Table

I like to stage my dining tables with seasonal decor to be visible the entire season, using a simple centerpiece or even a whole tablescape.  Don’t limit yourself to only setting or decorating your table right before a special dinner gathering, instead dress your table with a theme or seasonal look to add to your daily decor.  I loved how these tables used buffalo plaid accents so nicely to pull together the entire looks of the tables into pretty tablescapes.

How adorable to decorate an outdoor table for warmer climates with this style, here using a buffalo plaid throw blanket to dress the table.

 

And for a more dramatic look, the use of dinnerware, chair covers, and look at those unique napkin holders for a quaint Christmas setting.

Gift Wrapping

Gift wrapping can be a win-win with not only giving a well-presented gift to your family and friends, but also by adding a nice decorative aesthetic underneath your tree before the gifts are given.  These are such cute, creative ways to wrap gifts below, using buffalo plaid and other complimentary looks to really add to your room’s appeal during the holiday season… and your gift recipients will love it as well!

Look at these adorable buffalo plaid touches in the gift wrap and gift tags.  Use your gifts as additional decor… wrap them pretty and place them under the tree for very functional added decor for the season!

 

Coordinate your gift wrap to go nicely together…love the use of these plaid and solid papers with twine and creative tags to make a unique look for all your gifts.

Use other Decorative Pieces to Accent your Decor

As I shopped through the stores pre-Thanksgiving, I seen so many adorable pieces in this trending buffalo plaid pattern…. some select pieces I found are below…

I loved these little reindeers and Santa using the popular pattern I found at one of the craft stores… you could place these on an entry table, on a fireplace hearth, even next to your Christmas tree, or to decorate at your front porch.

 

& and how cute is this Christmas mouse!…too bad the name is not spelled like mine or I would have bought her… cute to sit on a side table or entry bench, even to dress your bed for a touch of the season.

Dress the Part… Fashion Style!

And you will not only find buffalo plaid in home decor this season, it is all the craze with fashion as well… so many adorable ways to add this pattern into your style and I thought the following two looks were so stylish and festive…

I loved the subtle touch of this pattern in the shirt sleeves on this top…and how cute are the boots and coordinating stocking hat.. adorable look!

 

& I love this sweater throw…so pretty in this pattern with a simple pair of skinny jeans and tall boots.. stylin!
