With everyone gearing up for the holiday season and festive window displays being unveiled, ’tis the time when style choices are in the balance. And with the trend for making a subtle statement, organic décor and natural textures, we’re decking the halls with a mix of chic simplicity, smidgen of twinkly and smattering of sumptuous elegance..
. “The Scandinavian Christmas aesthetic is usually quite minimalist, neutral, nature focused, yet cosy,” highlights luxury interior designer, Tommy Kebbson of Kebbson & Co. “Many people love opting for Scandi style as it’s a lot more neutral toned and can therefore fit with your home’s overall aesthetic, rather than bright colours that may clash,” says Kebbson.
“Scandinavian Christmas décor usually centres around neutral colours with an emphasis on nature and natural materials.” The designer recommends using as many natural elements as possible in your scheme such as branches, pinecones, holly, twigs, berries and leaves which can be used to create homemade decorations. Focus on cosy neutrals, says Kebbson, and suggests sticking to warm lighting throughout your home to create a comfortable, homely atmosphere.
Adding plush textures such as fluffy rugs and blankets also creates a cosy atmosphere, another Scandi principle. “Keeping your tree décor very simplistic, minimal and neutral is key..
. no bright, mismatched tinsel!” underlines Kebbson. As he points out, wooden elements are really popular.
