MY NORDIC CHRISTMAS

INSPIRATION

With a lot of Nordic decors, you’ll get that feeling that pieces are handcrafted and, in turn, more meaningful.

I. Use neutral colours

Scandinavian design is all about those pale, neutral colors. Think white, beige (the natural wood variety) and maybe grey, and add some pops of black for contrast. And of course lots of rich, winter greenery!

II. Put your tree in a basket

There’s no getting around this one. If you want a Scandinavian Christmas interior, put that tree in a wicker, rattan, or seagrass basket.

III. Soft lighting is the key

Lighting is key in Scandinavian design and Christmas is no exception. So make sure to fill your house with pretty mood lighting. Mix-and-match candles, twinkle lights draped over furniture, and paper lanterns (star shapes are the best!) hanging from the ceiling.

IV. Get crafty with a little DIY

When you look through pictures of Scandinavian interiors at Christmas, one thing always stands out – there is an element of do-it-yourself to the decor. Make your own banner, use branches, twinkle lights and ornaments to create your own wall display, or make your own Advent calendar out of a piece of wood and some string.
