Nordic Noel: Scandi Decorations for a Sophisticated Christmas
There’s nothing like a bit of Scandi chic for a sophisticated Christmas
A pared-back Scandinavian-style Christmas is the dream for many of us – even if in reality we can’t bear to part with all the sentimental Christmas tat we’ve gathered over the years. If you can, try using pale colours (blues and greys in particular) and natural textures like willow, wood and paper. Add fresh boughs of greenery to finish the look – and steer clear of anything glittery.
