=========================================================================================
In a recent article, we took a tour of several charming homes adorned with Christmas decorations, each reflecting the unique Scandinavian aesthetic. Maja Olausson, known for showcasing Scandinavian design, provided the photography for the piece.
Our journey began in Vaxholm, Sweden, where an 18th-century treasure was highlighted. The home, design-conscious and reflecting the Scandinavian aesthetic, boasted a large, real Christmas tree adorned with simple, elegant ornaments in the living room. The kitchen was decorated with festive bakes and a wreath on the door, while the dining room showcased a long, rustic table set with warm, inviting tableware and a centerpiece of candles and pine cones.
We then ventured to Astrid's Finnish lakehouse, which was decorated with twinkling lights and a wreath on the door. The home's bathroom was decorated with festive towels and a wreath on the mirror, and the living room featured a cozy, minimalist design with a Christmas tree in the corner.
The article also took us to a bright and charming 19th-century Swedish home, offering additional Christmas decorating ideas. Hannah's cosy Finnish home was also decorated for Christmas, and a design-conscious cottage stay in Scotland was mentioned.
Common Scandinavian Christmas decoration ideas, including those that might appear in Maja Olausson’s work, include the use of natural materials like wood, straw, and greenery (e.g., pine branches or wreaths). Candlelight and soft lighting create a warm, cozy atmosphere, often with lots of candles or string lights. Handmade or traditional ornaments such as woven straw stars and hearts are also common, as are the red and white colours that are classic in Swedish and Finnish Christmas decor. The minimalist Scandinavian aesthetics blend modern simplicity with traditional festive touches, while hygge-inspired touches emphasize warmth, comfort, and intimacy in home decoration.
