What do you need for a stylish Scandinavian Christmas?
Hygge Christmas
How do you get your Hygge Christmas on? First off, hygge is a Danish concept which isn’t easily translated into English. Think of hygge living as enjoying warm and cosy time with family and friends.

Create a warm and cosy interior with candles and throws. Textiles are a key element for adding warmth and texture for a Hygge Christmas: soft (fake) furs, chunky cable knits and warm sheepskin throws.
Hygge living is all about being warm and cozy
Don’t be sparing with the candles. See above about creating a warm and cosy home which is the essence of Hygge living.

Scandinavians love their Advent calendars and you can add Christmas hygge in their little pockets. Fill your Advent calendars with little gifts that you know the recipients will love – it’s not about the cost but the creation of that feeling of being hugged in the bosom of your family. It may be the perfect DIY Nordic Christmas decoration for your home.

Even your Nordic Christmas tree should embrace Hygge living by being placed in a basket, bucket or other container. Sorry a tree stand/skirt just doesn’t add the cozy factor you need for Christmas Hygge.

Along the same lines go with simple wrapping paper for the Christmas gifts under your Nordic Christmas tree. Nothing bold, brash and too colourful. The best wrapping is simple, neutral paper (like Kraft paper!) and add ribbons or twigs of holly for decor.
