Welcome to a Scandi Christmas
Bring home favourite festive touches to create a warm, inviting Scandi retreat that sets the scene for a truly special Christmas from the outside in. The key ingredients… fresh foliage, natural textures, handmade elements and, of course, precious memories as you enjoy the build-up to Jul.

5 inspirational Scandi homes, ready for Christmas
We’ve five beautiful Scandinavia homes to inspire you – each with its own take on Christmas at this time of year. Start with a visit to Eleni’s Swedish apartment, where neutral shades combine with warming wood and plenty of texture. Then join me for a lesson in all-white Swedish style at Camilla’s villa, for the perfect study in serenity. Head to Mette Marie’s period Copenhagen apartment, which has been sympathetically styled to match its grand exterior, while Johanna’s home in Finland, surrounded by forest, is the ultimate winter wonderland. Finally, Tarja shares how she adds festive wonder to her Finnish home.

Scandi style ideas a-plenty
I get so excited by the festive period and love the chance to make my home really special and extra-inviting for friends and family. Take inspiration from our cover home, belonging to Julie Wettergren. Her Danish apartment takes on a very magical feel at this time of the year. Step inside as she shares how to pull her look together, using foraged finds, a delicate palette and whimsical additions.
We’ve also ideas for Advent, plus ways to make your own Christmas decorations using paper and paper clay – perfect for a crafting afternoon, teamed with gingerbread and steaming mugs of hot chocolate.
