senior features editor Kimberley brown shares holiday motivation from her recent trip to Sweden.
I just recently returned from Stockholm full of holiday spirit. From the quaint Christmas markets as well as flower stalls full of cut amaryllis to the mugs of glögg served as much as fend off winter’s chill, it’s a city brimming with great cheer. It’s likewise house to a few of the world’s biggest style brands, including H&M, Acne, style home Stockholm, Filippa K as well as Svenskt Tenn/Josef Frank, so there’s no shortage of great Scandi know-how on display. I particularly liked the simple approach to seasonal greenery I saw everywhere. So easy, however so chic! Here’s exactly how to bring the look home.
In The dining Room
Follow Stockholm interior stylist Lotta Agaton’s lead as well as location a single tall remove vase at both ends of the table full of a mix of evergreen branches, such as boxwood as well as feathery pine. arrange a row of tapered white candles between them to produce a radiant centerpiece.
In The Living Room
Lotta styled one of the H&M store windows for the holidays, producing a cozy living space set. embellish behind a sofa with a bundle of branches – these ones are olive – connected together just with string as well as hung on a nail. It’s prettier than a picture! instead of hanging a wreath, lean it against a stool or bench for a laid-back look as seen in the window display.
In The Bedroom
Minimalists: A single sprig snipped from the Christmas tree pretties-up a bedside table while a tall glass lantern safely fills the space with the soft glow of candlelight.
Maximalists: location a little potted tree at the foot of the bed as well as hang branches in a window instead of the usual wreath. Suspend ornaments from ribbons as well as hang them casually on the wall from a hook – or antlers – for a bit holiday sparkle.
Any Room
Place mini trees wrapped in brown paper as well as string around the home for a nostalgic, low-key look. I spotted these at Granit, a shop full of wise storage solutions, as well as believed they would make excellent guest gifts since they’re wrapped as well as prepared to go!
