There are potentially some of you who have already started decorating for Christmas, which I’m sure is filling your home with some needed joy, but for likely the majority, we haven’t quite gotten to that point yet and may be in more of the planning stage. Either way, I think this post will be fun for anyone who loves Christmas decorations because boy are they CUTE. And in an effort to make everything easy, every single thing is from Wayfair. Somehow this one-stop-shop got even more one-stop-shop-y because baby, they’ve got good Christmas/holiday decor. For this post, I decided that I would take inspiration from the farmhouse last year and apply it into a few different setups. It was a cooler color palette than the classic red and green, but so happy, so warm, and of course, a little Scandi. Let’s get into it.
Wreath | Ribbons (set of 3) | Wooden Trees (set of 6) | Stockings | Snowflake Stocking Holder | Wood Nutcracker | Medium Mushroom | Large Mushroom | Taper Candle Set (set of 3) | Wood Garland Candle Holder | Faux Garland | Battery-Operated Fairy Lights (set of 3) | Painted Tree | Solid Green Pillow | Red and White Striped Lumbar Pillow | Bottle Brush Trees (set of 12) | Blue Plaid Lumbar Pillow | Green Knit Pillow | White and Red Stitch Pillow | Yellow Pillow | Red Plaid Blanket
I think we should all infuse as much whimsy as possible this year for Christmas and this Scandi farmhouse-inspired living room really does the trick (she says to herself)! When I was putting this all together the first thing that I knew I had to include were the checkered knit stockings. They are $25 and sold separately if any of the colors don’t work for you. But I really do love them all together. However, I come from a family that has used the same embroidered stockings every year for as long as I can remember. Nothing could change that. So if you’re already covered in the stocking department, consider adding a cute knit check somewhere else in your Christmas decor. But if you need a stocking I vote these. From there, I played off the colors of the stockings and kept it tight! Both the wreath and garland are faux, which means they are great to use for years and years, but I think adding something to them will really make them extra special. For example, adding some pretty velvet ribbon to the top of the wreath or some battery-operated fairy lights to the garland would be perfect yet simple upgrades that would make a big impact. Then if you can’t tell I’m pretty obsessed with all kinds of tree figurines. I actually have a very similar set to the blonde wood trees I got years ago and they are some of my favorites. A fun modern twist to a classic figurine:) But I think mixing modern and classic is always the way to go which is why I picked that extremely cute (but neutral) nutcracker and snowflake stocking holder. But not only is it about mixing old and new but also textures and colors. Take that incredible painted tree and the bottle brush tree set. They bring in color and different materials which will make your decor feel more fun and layered. That’s also why I chose that super cute set of candles! All different but perfect together. Oh, and those mushrooms may be the sweetest things I’ve seen. Lastly, I made sure to pick cozy, not overly “Christmas-y” pillows within our color palette but in a bunch of different fabrics and patterns. Heck, you could probably use most of these year-round! So there you have it, a pretty wonderful Christmas Scandi-inspired living room (or any room) decor plan that will definitely make your home feel happy, pulled together, and ready for the big day:)
Pre-Lit Wreath | Red Bells (set of 3) | Faux Tree | Ceramic Planter (set of 3) | Ornaments (set of 24) | Door Mat | Wood Stump Side Table | Wooden Trees (set of 3)
Now let’s move on to a pretty simple front door set that’s still very festive and has that Scandi essence. Let’s start with the pre-lit wreath. I love how drapey it is, I LOVE that it comes with lights, and as a gal that keeps her wreath up year-round (I add ribbons for the holidays), I would happily have this one on my door too. To make it a little extra special, I would add at least one of those adorable red bells to the wreath. Now, I’m not the biggest doormat person but this simple (but cute) one would go right in my cart if my front door was outside (I live in an apartment building with lots of rugs so no need for me). Honestly, you could end it there. BUT, if you are feeling extra festive/have a larger front door area then consider a potted faux tree like this one and put it in a chic mid-century modern outdoor ceramic planter. I love how the planter has a little green in it to pull in the tree and wreath. But a Christmas tree isn’t 100% a Christmas tree unless it has some ornaments, right? These classic red and white plastic bulbs are perfect and help tie in the bells and red on the mat. Then on the other side of the door, I chose a really cute tree stump side table with some little wood tree figurines. Again, not necessary but festive and you could easily use that side table year-round.
Candlestick Holder (set of 2) | Taper Candle (set of 4) | Large Bottlebrush Tree | Wood Trees (set of 3) | Table Runner | Placemat (set of 4) | Fringed Napkin (set of 4) | Wood Napkin Ring (set of 4) | Glass Ornament (set of 4) | Wine Glass (set of 4) | Red Drinking Glass (set of 4) | Stone Dinnerware (set of 16) | Flatware Set
Last but not least is a festive but casual tablescape. Aside from the trees and ornaments, this could easily be an everyday setup. I love the tone and style of that dinnerware. Organic in feeling but also refined. The same goes for the wood-handled flatware! Notice how there are wood/brown accents evenly dispersed around the table. The placemats are so universal and the round shape breaks them up from the cute green table runner. The wood trees are maybe my other favorite and I’m tempted to get them but I already have SO MANY TREES that I’m doing my best to resist. Ugh, but that green bottle brush one is kinda perfect too! Again, mixing materials and colors will make for a more interesting design. Then staying with the decor, these black candlestick holders and cute chubby candlesticks help modernize while also adding more fun shapes. Great for year-round too. But it’s not really the holidays/Christmas to me without some color so these awesome red drinking glasses. A great color, and exciting texture, and really adds an unexpected punch to the tablescape. Since this is a Christmas post, adding in some pretty ornaments for one more pop of color. Dinner is served!
