A trendy farmhouse pattern perfect for your holiday theme, black and white plaid Christmas décor is a great go-to for changing up your Christmas scene this year. Using neutral plaid can be great for incorporating a cozy farmhouse holiday vibe. It is also incredibly easy to use a little or a lot this way, depending on how bold you want the pattern to be in your home.
Small accents like candles, canvas prints, accent pillows, or throws are simple and easy ways to add this trendy look to a space. But you could also go all-out and use plaid in upholstery, wallpaper, gift wrap, and ornaments like some of our decorators have below.
