Bring timeless, cozy charm to your holiday season with a shabby chic-inspired Christmas! From vintage-style ornaments to floral wreaths, here’s how to turn your home into a festive shabby chic wonderland.
1. Adorn the Tree with Vintage-Inspired ornaments
A shabby chic Christmas tree is all about delicate, vintage touches. Start with ornaments that feature lace, distressed finishes, and soft pastel colors.
Look for handmade ornaments with floral accents and vintage vibes- they’ll make your tree feel like it’s straight out of a charming cottage.
TIP: To give your tree a soft, elegant look, try a mix of cream, blush, and mint-colored ornaments.

2. Hang Christmas Stockings on the Mantel
Swap out traditional red and green stockings for soft, pink and creamy ones. Stockings in pastel hues, especially those with lace or burlap accents, add a romantic, old-fashioned touch. They’re perfect for hanging by the fireplace or even on a staircase.
TIP: To add even more texture and charm, add mini vintage ornaments or small springs of faux greenery inside each stocking.
