— December 18, 2017

If you’re still looking for Christmas decoration inspiration, we have the perfect ideas for you. Scandinavian themes are sweeping through homes this holiday season due to their lovely, rustic, homey, winter feeling. If you appreciate the beauty of the outdoors during the winter, this style may be for you. Here are a few Scandinavian decoration ideas that Ngrava love the most.

Scandinavian (or Nordic) Christmas styles are simple in colour, yet stand out in a very modern way. It is made of fabrics and natural elements such as wood and holly. While you can purchase many items already made, crafting them yourself can be half the fun; giving you a sense of pride when decorating your home.

Tablecloths

Opt for a fabric that is light in colour with a simple repeated design, such as large grayscale trees. You can always make your own and use additional fabric for matching throw pillow pillowcases.

Married Heart Decoration

This is a great weaving decoration to make and hang anywhere around the house, even on the tree. Use two different coloured papers to create two sides of the heart and weave them into each other. This is a wonderful representation of two hearts coming together.

Wreaths

Wreaths are a classic decoration to have and now you can make your own in a Scandinavian style. Use any solid round foundation and glue on lots of neutral coloured pom-poms. Shades of beige, pink, and grey make a lovely combination. Add a small figurine of a woodland creature, such as a deer, in the center of the wreath.

Nordic Gnomes

This is an incredibly adorable and easy decoration to have around the home! Use medium sized Styrofoam balls as the head, make a pointed hat out of felt and sew it together so that it will fit on top. Use stuffing or cotton balls to pull apart and make a beard. A wooden bead can be used as a nose.

The Mighty Stag

The stag and deer are common in Scandinavian decorations. A large picture with the silhouette of a stag in a gold frame is simple, yet speak ancient meanings.

Stars

Stars, as well, are common in this theme. They can be handcrafted from paper for unique decorations, or from a string of wooden beads with added stars to stand out.
