Scandinavian Christmas

When it comes to decorating your home for the festive season a SCANDINAVIAN CHRISTMAS interior design is perfect for creating a cosy and elegant feel in any room of the home. This style brings together classic and homely design aspects alongside natural materials and furniture items to create a space that is reminiscent of a snowy outdoor landscape. This fresh yet cosy design is perfect for both contemporary and classic home interiors.

Begin by selecting a soft and cosy colour palette of white and grey with hints of silver that is ideal for creating a Nordic inspired snowy ambience within your chosen room. Start by using this colour scheme as a basis for your tree decorating ideas. Select a large a bushy Nordic pine Christmas tree (real or artificial) and opt for natural and handcrafted decorations that will create an eye-catching focal point in the room. Select natural pine cones and spray some with artificial snow and scatter around the branches as a base for your ornaments. Select some white and silver ornaments as well as natural or painted wooden plaques and shapes featuring snowflakes, festive quotes or reindeer that will look wonderful nestled among your branches.

Select a variety of wooden Christmas plaques and bunting that can be hung from your windows, fire places or hung across your ceiling and can be partnered with simple bright white led lights for added visual impact. Include some grey and white painted or silver glittered deer and stag ornaments that will look wonderful displayed in a window or along a mantelpiece or sideboard. Fill large glass or wooden bowls with a selection of festive items such as holly, acorns and cinnamon sticks and include a selection of white and grey faux fur cushions and throws to create a space that is perfect for cuddling up on the cold winter nights. You could also include some alpine and woodland animal cushions or a bedding set featuring a classic grey and white fair isle design to transfer this look into every room of the home.

If you are entertaining family and friends over the festive period, then why not amaze them with a table setting that will create the wow factor at parties or Christmas day dinner. Stick to a colour scheme of white, grey and silver and begin with a crisp white table cloth in which to begin your design. Select an array of silver and white plates, serving trays and dishes and complete with some classic silver or brushed chrome cutlery for a modern, metallic finish. Select simple glassware featuring silver edging or silver glitter decorations and include some deer print napkins that can be wrapped in natural twine and tied with a glittered or frosted acorn or a sprig of pine for a sense of bringing Nordic nature into your home.
