How to get a Scandi-style Christmas at home
For Christmas this year on Wee Birdy, I'm pulling together a series of Christmas themes to inspire you when decorating your home. Today, I've taken inspiration from Nordic style and one of the biggest trends to emerge this year in design: black interiors and homewares.
Minimalist and moody, you can create a Nordic-style monochrome Christmas by combining matte black with natural materials such as woven fibres, pale timber and Christmas greenery. Lighten your look with snowy white and add a touch of gleam with gold or metallic accents.
Be inspired by some of my favourite Nordic Christmas styling and ideas. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for my shopping guide to get the look.
