Some people love to go all out at Christmas, while others prefer a more pared-back approach. If you fall into the latter camp, I think you’re going to enjoy the festive touches in Sandra’s minimalist apartment in Hanover, Germany (remember this tour?!). Think subtle bunches of eucalyptus, olive and amaryllis, candles, and white paper stars and Christmas ornaments against a serene white and light wood backdrop. I had a brief chat with Sandra to find out more! 

As you may recognise, I appreciate simplicity and clear structures around me – and, although I really love to follow the seasons with my home decor, the basic feel of the home remains constant.

I see more and more people getting festive in November. But, for me it makes it even more special to wait until the First Sunday of Advent – when the countdown officially begins! 

I think simplicity is key – ‘less is more’. I have an overall focus on natural elements like wood, flowers and of course a lot of greenery like fir, eucalyptus and olive. The result is a minimalist, natural but also refined look. 

This Christmas, I found a huge Scandinavian paper star, (more info here!) that will spread some Christmas cheer in our living room. 

Thank you for inviting us inside your beautiful, festive home Sandra! 

I think Pauline and Jo, Sandra’s dogs are enjoying their Christmassy home, don’t you? 

Is there anything that stood out to you?

I guess you know what’s coming (you know I can never resist!) – yes, links to more Scandinavian Christmas decoration inspiration of course!! Here goes: 

Our Swedish Christmas from Per’s perspective (don’t miss the 20% discount off Skandinavisk seasonal candles with code nikijul20 – valid until 16th December). 

Altogether now, “deck the halls with boughs of um, eucalyptus…!”

Incidentally, I have one whole week of blogging left before Christmas – is there anything you’d love to see? Give me a shout in the comment section below and I’ll do my best to cover it!
