Scandinavian Christmas decorating is about clean, bold images and colors mixed with more organic earthy, natural elements.

Scandinavian Christmas Decorating Inspiration

Maybe it’s my Canadian roots that make me fall in love with all things red and white and rustic.

There’s something so comfortable about Scandinavian decor. It’s light and bright, but so full of texture and natural elements that it exudes warmth.

The traditional red and white nordic color theme lends itself perfectly to holiday decorating. And the imagery of wildlife, snowflakes and stars fit seamlessly into a Christmas-ready home.

Are you ready to add a touch of Scandinavian to your decor this year? Get inspired by the carefully curated gallery of inspirational photos below!
