Create a Scandinavian-Inspired Christmas Table with Gisela Graham
When it comes to creating a festive atmosphere, nothing captures the cosy warmth of the season like a Scandinavian-inspired Christmas table. Celebrated for its simplicity and elegance, this style is perfect for your Christmas display. With a mix of natural elements, soft textiles, and a neutral colour palette, your festive gatherings will feel cheerful and inviting. Here's how to transform your table with a Scandinavian charm this year!

Christmas Colours

One main element of Scandinavian décor is a soft, natural colour palette, normally consisting of whites and creams. During the Christmas season, reds are often added as an accent colour to bring the iconic festive feel.

Simple Styling

Key to this style is the idea 'less is more', so keep decorations simple and coordinated. Instead of overcrowding the table with contrasting pieces and colours, stick with pieces of the same design for a cohesive look. We've styled our table with matching crockery, napkins and crackers for a sleek finish. If you want to add small decorations, remember to avoid overcrowding: pick small ornaments for a touch of whimsy without disrupting the minimalist feel.

A Warm Glow

Candles are a must-have in any Scandinavian-inspired setting, especially at Christmas where creating a warm, inviting ambience is key. Bold taper candles are perfect for breaking up a white colour scheme, adding depth and a pop of colour to your table. Pair them with elegant glass candleholders to maintain a refined look that complements the minimalist décor without overpowering it.

All About Nature

Natural elements are central to Scandinavian décor, and there are many ways to bring the outdoors in for a beautiful look. Cornhusk placemats add texture and a natural touch to the table, enhancing the rustic atmosphere. Garlands make stunning centrepieces, and small trimmings from your Christmas tree can be placed on plates for a charming, festive detail. To stay with the red theme, why not add in some winter berries!
