A Charming Swedish Country Home with Festive Touches

I can’t help getting a little excited about adding a few festive touches to our home this weekend. Nothing major – just a hint – and enough to make our home feel cosy and Christmassy. Will you be putting up any decorations over the next couple of days (for those who celebrate)? As I’m sure you well know, Swedes are masters at ‘subtle festive touches’. A hint of a wreath here, a hyacinth there. With a strong focus on nature, wonderful aromas, vintage pieces and handmade items (see 5 simple budget-friendly craft ideas). In her country home in southern Sweden, Johanna has started to decorate her ‘little green’ house (as she calls it on instagram) with pretty, subtle ‘Jul‘ touches. Think paper stars, oil lamps, garlands of sliced oranges, candles and wreaths. Oh, and the Christmas tree is ready and waiting just outside the door too!

I love how uncomplicated these touches are – and yet they create such a cosy feel, don’t you think?
Is there anything that stood out to you about Johanna’s lovely rural home? You might like to see more pictures on instagram over at @vartlillagrona.
Looking for more inspiration? Take a peek at the Christmas archive – it’s packed with Scandinavian ideas for every taste and budget.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
