Christmas Decorations: 4 Scandinavian Styles to Inspire You
This year, we've curated our Scandinavian Christmas decorations into four distinct style themes, each one capturing a different side of Nordic festivities: natural, joyful, traditional and folk.
Whether you're drawn to organic woodland textures, playful character pieces, timeless glass heirlooms, or handcrafted folk art, there's a Nordic Christmas design theme here that'll feel just your style.
What's your Scandi Christmas Style?
Explore each theme below to discover which Scandinavian Christmas aesthetic speaks to you - or mix elements from all four to create your own unique Nordic celebration:
- Natural Christmas - Organic materials, woodland textures and earthy tones bring the Scandinavian forest indoors
- Joyful Christmas - Playful characters, bright colours and whimsical fun for a celebration full of smiles
- Traditional Christmas - Timeless glass, elegant ornaments, and cherished rituals passed through generations
- Folk Christmas - Handcrafted pieces, heritage patterns, and artisan details celebrating Nordic craft traditions
Natural Christmas
Lovi Star wall decoration
This breathtaking birch plywood star makes a statement on its own or arranged with others. We love the warm cinnamon tone - but there's also a natural version if you'd prefer (and different sizes, too - this is the 48cm version).
Broste Venja wood veneer star
Crisp birch bark formed into a delicate star - this is Nordic winter captured in one beautiful ornament. And we love them. Available in two different sizes, which work brilliantly together.
Dottir Winter Stories Forest candleholder
Transform your table into a winter woodland with this charming ceramic forest scene. Designed to hold a 3cm candle - we stock those, too - as well as more Winter Stories candle holders featuring woodland creatures, and advent candles.
Gry & Sif Felt Branch with Red Berries
Designed in Denmark but handmade in Nepal from 100% wool felt, these branches add a wonderfully soft, tactile element to your decorations. And because they're felt, you can bring them out year after year – or leave them in a vase long after the tree is down. See more Gry & Sif.

Joyful Christmas
Hoptimist Reindeer
If your Christmas is all about joy, you can't get much more joyful than springy, bouncy Hoptimists! Even happier, the Christmas versions also include Santa, a snowman and skiers, as well as the reindeer - see them all here.
Moomin First Snow hanging decoration
You know how much we love Moomins, and this gold decoration celebrates a magical moment - Moomintroll experiencing his first snowfall. Perfect for a fan, and joyful enough for everyone. We've a Moomin rotary candleholder, and Miffy decorations, too.
(If you need more Moomins have a look here)
Pixies in the Forest mobile
This Christmas forest scene by Flensted Mobiles makes us very happy. Tiny, cheeky pixies move amongst stylised trees - hang it in a window or near a door where it can catch the breeze to help them on their way. We've other Christmas mobiles, too.

Traditional Christmas
Holmegaard Glass Christmas Bell 2025
Each year, Holmegaard, Denmark's oldest glassworks, produces collectible Christmas decorations. They become treasured heirlooms - an unusual gift for someone, or hang on your own tree to mark each Christmas you've celebrated together. See Holmegaard's 2025 collection.
Broste paper-cut Angel Garland
There's something timelessly beautiful about paper garlands and this Broste Copenhagen design has a traditional Scandinavian hand-cut feel with angels and hearts in soft off-white. It's delicate, romantic and feels like an heirloom. Gorgeous. There's a bird version, too.
Festive Ornaments rotary candle holder
Classic Christmas baubles and ornaments spin around your candle in this rotary holder by Pluto. Rotaries are always (unsurprisingly) really popular at this time of year, and we've a selection of different styles, from traditional to fun – have a look.

Folk Christmas
Bjørn Wiinblad Eva Christmas Decoration
Bjørn Wiinblad's whimsical ceramics capture Danish folk art's playful spirit, and this decoration features his signature style as well as Eva's sharp-nosed, rosy-cheeked face. It's folk art meets mid-century Danish design, at Christmas. This is the green, but it's also available in red and blue.
Broste Stella Rosette
Paper rosettes are a Scandinavian Christmas staple, hung in windows, from ceilings or layered on walls. These beautiful ones from Broste are so lovely, we think there's a very strong case for keeping them up all year round. See other sizes and colours, too.
Lovi Elf
The Christmas elf is a Nordic folk tradition - and Lovi's birch plywood version is one you can assemble yourself and treasure for years. The bright red colour and long hat are instantly recognisable - but we've also got him in green and grey, in different sizes and a girl elf, too.

We've even got the tree
Lovi Spruce Tree in Forest Green
If you're looking for something special - or don't have the space (or inclination) for a traditional tree - Lovi's flat-pack birch plywood trees are extraordinary. This 180cm version creates a stunning 6-foot focal point that assembles from precisely cut interlocking pieces. It's sustainable, reusable, and absolutely beautiful. Too much? We have smaller versions, too, from tabletop to floor-standing. Available in natural wood, dark green or forest green.
