Guest Groups: A Scandinavian-Inspired Christmas
This season I am decorating my home for Christmas with a Scandinavian-inspired theme. I am always drawn to Scandinavian design, and I love to see how such homes are decorated for Christmas: typically simple and understated with lots of nature-inspired components, candlelight and a frequent color theme of reds, reds and wood tones. — Candice from The Style Boards

2in Red & White Mushrooms Picks – $8.99
Red and white is a frequent color scheme in Scandinavian Christmas decor. These mushrooms are just so cute and tie right into the color scheme. They are on wires so you just wrap them around your tree branches, and they sit in the tree. I purchased these for my tree this season and I just can not get enough of these!
Terrain
Wicker Tree Skirt – $48
A frequent theme in Scandianvian homes would be to put the Christmas tree display in a beautiful basket or bucket. I adore this wicker basket from Terrain; it will surely add a bit of unexpected charm to your tree.

Scandinavian Christmas decor always looks motivated by nature, which is why these papier-mache reindeer are a perfect addition to this theme. Display them along with some bottle brush trees for a gorgeous holiday display.
