🌲 Bring Nature Indoors: Decorating with Greens, Garlands, and Local Flair
Oct
A Country Barn Tradition That Feels Like Home
At The Country Barn in Elkton, KY, the holidays begin with the scent of fresh-cut pine, the shimmer of birch branches, and the timeless beauty of locally-sourced evergreens. This season, bring a touch of nature indoors with classic greens, handmade garlands, and rustic touches that make your home feel warm, welcoming, and uniquely yours.
🌿 Celebrate with Locally-Sourced Greens
Our fresh holiday greens are gathered with care — fragrant spruce, pine, and fir that fill your space with the unmistakable scent of the season. Mix and match textures to create a natural look that complements your home’s style:
- Pine garlands drape beautifully across mantels and stairways.
- Grapevine wreaths bring traditional charm to doors and windows.
- Fresh cut boughs are perfect for tabletops, centerpieces, or tucked into planters for a lush, full look.
Every piece reflects the authenticity and craftsmanship that The Country Barn is known for — grown and gathered close to home.
We also design our own Holiday Porch Pots and Evergreen Centerpieces, handcrafted right here at The Country Barn. Each arrangement is filled with fragrant greens, pinecones, berries, and festive accents — perfect for welcoming guests at your entryway or adding a natural centerpiece to your holiday table. Custom designs are available too — let our team help you create something one-of-a-kind for your home.
🌸 Bring the Beauty Indoors with Cyclamen & Orchids
Add a touch of color and elegance to your holiday décor with fresh cyclamen and orchids — perfect companions to your natural greens. Cyclamen offer cheerful blooms that brighten windowsills and tablescapes, while orchids add refined beauty and long-lasting blooms that pair perfectly with winter whites and festive décor.
Display them with your garlands and centerpieces, or gift them to someone special — both make thoughtful, living gifts that last long after the holidays.
🌰 Pinecones, Birch Branches & Bows: The Finishing Touches
Decorating with nature’s own ornaments adds warmth and character to every display. Try layering textures and tones to create dimension and depth:
- Pinecones add rustic charm — perfect for wreaths, baskets, and centerpieces.
- Birch branches bring winter’s elegance indoors — use them in tall vases or by the fireplace for a woodland touch.
- Hand-tied bows in plaid, burlap, or classic red bring it all together for a cozy Kentucky Christmas look.
And don’t forget the magic of mixing in twinkling lights or candles — they make every natural element glow with festive spirit.
