Christmas Colours
One main element of Scandinavian décor is a soft, natural colour palette, normally consisting of whites and creams. During the Christmas season, reds are often added as an accent colour to bring the iconic festive feel.
Simple Styling
Key to this style is the idea 'less is more', so keep decorations simple and coordinated. Instead of overcrowding the table with contrasting pieces and colours, stick with pieces of the same design for a cohesive look. We've styled our table with matching crockery, napkins and crackers for a sleek finish. If you want to add small decorations, remember to avoid overcrowding: pick small ornaments for a touch of whimsy without disrupting the minimalist feel.
A Warm Glow
Candles are a must-have in any Scandinavian-inspired setting, especially at Christmas where creating a warm, inviting ambience is key. Bold taper candles are perfect for breaking up a white colour scheme, adding depth and a pop of colour to your table. Pair them with elegant glass candleholders to maintain a refined look that complements the minimalist décor without overpowering it.
All About Nature
Natural elements are central to Scandinavian décor, and there are many ways to bring the outdoors in for a beautiful look. Cornhusk placemats add texture and a natural touch to the table, enhancing the rustic atmosphere. Garlands make stunning centrepieces, and small trimmings from your Christmas tree can be placed on plates for a charming, festive detail. To stay with the red theme, why not add in some winter berries!
