If “folksy” and “country” describe your personal style, express yourself inside and out with homey accents. Out front, create a focal point with a wooden snow family, a sleigh filled with wrapped packages, or a row of folksy angels.

Wrap porch posts, a garden bench and the doorway with evergreen garland, strings of cranberries (real or look-alike), and accent with raffia or your favorite ribbon. Continue the theme from your yard in the details of your door wreath.

Inside, your staircase can also be festooned with garland; hang the stockings along the rail. Window candles add a pretty touch. Scent the house with candles, light rings with essential oils, and potpourri in flavors of evergreen, spice, and cinnamon.

Cut white paper snowflakes for pretty window decorations; this is a fun craft for moms and kids. Quilts in holiday colors or in keeping with your theme are also a natural in the folk country look and can be used as tablecloths, sofa throws, or wallhangings.
