One of the surprising things I learned about Sweden when I moved here is that Christmas decorations are officially taken down on 13th January. This unnerved me as I grew up in England where I was led to believe leaving them up past twelfth night / 6th January is unlucky (what tradition do you have in your country?). These days I go with the flow and although has long since gone I’ve grown to love the twinkling fairy lights which brighten up our neighbourhood in the first half of January. It helps that the festive touches are subtle and all about nature too. A fine example of this can be seen in the charming Danish home of florist Signe Nelleman Bruun. White walls and floors and old wood beams serve as a magnificent backdrop for lovely displays of spruce, pine cones, moss and bare branches while lanterns, cosy blankets and rugs both inside and out add a warm and inviting feel. Let’s take a peek!

Oh so lovely, don’t you think?!
I especially love the back yard with it’s roaring fire, cosy blanket and the scent of hyacinths, spruce and rosemary in the air.
Is there anything that stands out to you?
Get the look from Signe’s beautiful home: this is similar, light grey reindeer hide throw, beautiful sheepskin and rug by . This dark grey linen duvet cover and soft are similar.
Have a lovely day!
PS There’s a blizzard raging outside here in Southern Sweden – definitely a double coffee and chunky knit blanket kind of morning!
