How to Create a Scandinavian New Year Atmosphere: 5 Tips from Our Heroine

Christmas spirit begins with preparing your interior. Our heroine Lilia (@lully_by) decorated her home in Scandinavian style, adding elements of the beloved "quiet luxury" trend. The style that combines minimalism and sophistication became the basis for creating festive decor: handmade crafts, natural materials, and cozy flames added warmth and comfort.

We've gathered detailed recommendations on how to recreate this unique New Year's home decor, make the holiday unforgettable, and create a harmonious interior.

Christmas Tree: Minimalism + Coziness

The Christmas tree is the central element of any New Year's interior. To decorate it in the spirit of Scandinavian style, stick to minimalism: leave space between branches so that every needle is visible.

Our heroine decorated the tree with gold ornaments in three shades, wooden beads, and rings made of snowflake and flame patterns. Handmade crafts became not only decoration but also part of the festive mood.

The minimalist tree looks festive but not overloaded, perfectly fitting into the Scandinavian concept.

Accents with Wreaths and Garland

To make the interior look harmonious, enhance your apartment with wreaths and garlands made from fir. You can hang them on cabinet doors, decorate the door frame with them, or use them for kitchen zone decoration.

This is a simple and stylish way to bring the scent of fir and New Year charm into your home.

Adding Candles

It's impossible to imagine a cozy winter interior without candles. Place them around the house, choose neutral candlesticks that harmonize with the overall style.

Make a special accent on the table: lit candles create a festive and warm atmosphere, which is so important during cold evenings.

Table Setting: Elegance in Details

Table setting starts with choosing textiles and dishes. For the background, consider solid-colored tablecloths made of natural materials: for example, linen or cotton. Add accent runners on the table and napkins in green or red tones.

Use white dishes as a base: they pair perfectly with gold tableware or plates with plant prints.

Tray plates under main dishes are a current trend that adds refinement to the table setting. Decorate the table with fir branches, pinecones, or compositions made from natural materials to emphasize the Scandinavian style.

Christmas Movies as Part of the Atmosphere

Don't forget: Christmas spirit is created not only by visual elements. Turn on your favorite holiday movies, decorate the tree, light candles, and add flames. All this makes the holiday preparation a special moment that brings the whole family together.
