It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and for this holiday season I’ve fully embraced the Scandinavian Christmas aesthetic.
This is the first entry from my “Scandinavian Christmas” series. Over the next week, I’ll be sharing several blogposts focused on Scandi inspired holiday décor ideas borrowed from my Nordic neighbors up north. So stay tuned because there’s much more the come!
But before we dive into ideas for typical Christmas decorations (like trees, stockings, and wreaths), let’s talk about the heart of the home – the kitchen. I wanted our kitchen to feel cozy and festive this winter, but I also didn’t want to go overboard with the details. So in keeping with a minimalistic mentality, I took the “less is more” approach to create a classic, calming, and Christmassy atmosphere.

spiced potpourri
hanging star lanterns
candles galore
Also, we got a smaller marble table for our breakfast nook. The pill-shaped marble table (here) was slightly too big for the space and made the room feel a bit crowded. I was completely thrilled when I found the small square table at a second-hand store here in Berlin! It’s absolutely perfect for our little kitchen and reminds me of a Parisian café.
