The season is upon us and it's the most magical time of the year! I'm excited to invite you into my home today to share my Scandinavian-inspired Christmas tree and decor. I absolutely love anything Scandinavian, and have tried to incorporate the natural, minimalistic Scandi style mixed with farmhouse elements within my tree this year. I love the overall mix of greenery, snow and natural brown design aspects combined with small pops of color. Be sure to check out the 5 DIY Scandinavian Christmas Ornaments along with the tutorial showing you some fun DIY Scandinavian-style Gift wrap Ideas as well as my DIY Staircase Christmas Garland.
Deck the halls with boughs of holly...or in this case, deck the living room with boughs of beautiful eucalyptus! Add a dash of Scandinavian to your Christmas decorations this year with Scandi + farmhouse inspired Christmas decor and ornaments. The natural color pallet will make your home feel all cozy and warm. You can't go wrong with snow covered Christmas houses, delicate icicles, mini tobacco baskets, grapevine accents, whimsical candles, and more!
A flocked tree adds to the charm, creating a white backdrop for your forested decor. But if you don't have any flocking spray, an un-flocked tree is still just as pretty. Insert Snowy Pine Picks into your tree to give it a more frosted look.
Scandinavian design is becoming very popular. The focus on clean lines, craftsmanship and simple materials is what makes it so beautiful. Bring that gorgeous style into your home by creating your own Scandinavian style ornaments for your tree this year. DIY Medium Houses were decorated to look like charming Nordic homes. To make these cute ornaments go here.
Scandinavian decor is greatly influenced by the Nordic region's cold, short winter days and the desire for home interiors to be bright yet cozy. Create a visually stunning Scandi-inspired + farmhouse Christmas mantel with a few simple items like a Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Garland, a Vickerman Cheyenne Christmas Garland, Pillar Candles, Birch Pillars with Bark, Natural Burlap Ribbon, and a 30" Grapevine Wreath. A similar letter board sign can also be found here.
Arrange Pillar Candles at various heights using DIY Large Round Birch Pillars with Bark.

Scandinavian farmhouse decor is timeless because it is so simple and beautiful. It's delicately crafted and made with natural materials that appeal to everyone on a lovely, yet simplistic level.
The dark green tones of the tree mixed with the light green tones of the Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Garlands make for a beautiful eye pleasing display.
The DIY Mini Burlap Stockings add so much charisma to the tree and remind us of the time honored tradition of opening Christmas gifts from Christmas stockings.
Place various sized baskets filled with throws or pillows on your fireplace hearth to create depth and substance.
Gifts can add so much to your tree space, and matching your gifts to the decor completes your Christmas tree making it beautiful and visually pleasing. Check out the DIY Scandinavian Gift Wrap Ideas post to take your gifts to the next level. The Kraft Paper, Red & White Striped Satin Ribbon, Black & White Buffalo Check Ribbon, Small Black Spruce Wreaths, Small Branch Wreaths, Black Chalkboard Label Favor Tags, DIY Metal Tag Ornaments, Evergreen Craft Stems, and the Red Bakers Twine really make the gifts pop!
Nothing says Christmas more than red stripes mixed with greenery. The added Black & White Buffalo Check Ribbon brings an engaging farmhouse feel to your gifts.
The gifts are almost too cute to want to open!
The personalized Black Chalkboard Label Favor Tags and DIY Metal Tag Ornaments take the farmhouse gifts to the next level.
The DIY Paper-Mache Christmas Trees look so captivating nestled in the tree branches. The trees could also be dressed up and adorned with various craft items, but something about the simple design draws your eye.
The Cheyenne Christmas Garland mixed with the Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Garland added so much to the Mantel and was an extremely easy way to dress up the space. The Grapevine Wreath was accented with an Olive Branch Garland, and a Natural Burlap Ribbon bow at the top finished it off.
The North Star Ornaments add a delightful appeal. The symbolism of the North Star is needed in every Christmas set-up.
The DIY Unfinished Wood Tree Ornaments are so quaint and adorable. They add an alluring attraction without taking away the simpleness of the tree.
The charming DIY Basket Ornaments are very Nordic looking and are quite similar to the Scandinavian woven heart Christmas baskets, which can be found in all Scandinavian nations.
Bring your Scandi Christmas look to the other side of your living area by decorating your staircase or banister. Follow the DIY tutorial here to see how to dress up this space with a few beautiful products!
Every tree needs some Clear Icicle Ornaments! In the evening they will twinkle and sparkle in the warm glow of your tree lights.
Whether you're going all out and decorating your entire home for Christmas, or keeping it simple and small, Scandinavian farmhouse inspired decor is the perfect match for any decorating preference!
I hope you enjoy "decking your halls" this holiday season!
