Men tjeeena! How’s it going for you this last week before Christmas? Is all calm and bright or gloriously chaotic? Either way, this is exactly the moment when Scandinavian Christmas inspiration feels extra comforting. And, they really do their decorating so well, don’t you think?
What I love about the festive touches in Amanda Broomé’s Swedish home is how understated they are. Nothing feels over-styled or overwhelming – instead, Christmas is woven gently into everyday corners of the house. A simple tree placed on a side table, a wreath hung with a soft ribbon, and a few sprigs of greenery are all it takes to create that unmistakable Scandinavian holiday feeling.
Candlelight plays a big role too, with slender tapers glowing on kitchen counters, dressers and shelves and golden angels dancing in the heat of the flames on a gold carousel. It adds instant warmth and makes the spaces feel calm and inviting, especially when paired with natural materials like wood, linen and ceramics. For Amanda, there’s no need for elaborate decorations – the beauty lies in the simplicity.
Perhaps the nicest thing of all is how achievable it feels. These are festive ideas anyone can recreate: foraged greenery, a handful of candles, and a few well-loved pieces styled with care. It’s a lovely reminder that Christmas doesn’t have to be busy or extravagant to feel truly special – sometimes, less is more!
Ready to take a peek?
Oh, so lovely!
It makes me think about layering a few more decorations over what we have – some mini trees, some wreaths, and maybe an orange garland.
Is this your style of decorating too?
