There are many countries that are known for producing lovely Christmas Ornaments, but Scandinavia stands out as one of the best. Designers capitalize on a style that includes wood, flowers, greenery, and other natural elements. The overall aesthetic is minimalist yet cheerful.

This article will look at the classic Nordic ornaments you’ll want to include in your home.

Christmas Tree Decorations

Scandinavian Christmas ornaments typically fall into three categories: ornaments, candle holders, and strings of lights and flags. They tend to have silver and gold color schemes and contain elements like painted wood, straw and felt. There is usually a star or angel on the top of the tree.

Glass Baubles

Nordic glass baubles are blown glass pieces that can be hung from the tree or any area in the home. They add a pop of color but often come in muted jewel tones that are in line with Scandinavia’s minimalist aesthetic. They bring a sleek yet interesting look to your holiday décor.

Paper Ornaments

Handcrafted, accordion style paper ornaments are another Scandinavian favorite. They have a charming aesthetic and come in a variety of colors and shapes. They look nice hanging from tree branches or strung across a window.

Tree Toppers

Nordic tree toppers can be true works of art. They typically focus on simple geometrics that are combined in a way that looks intricate and beautiful. They add the perfect touch to your design.

Straw Ornaments

With many Nordic ornaments made with natural elements, it should come as no surprise that straw is a popular choice of materials. Straw ornaments have a rustic look that’s still sophisticated. They are also great for kids as they won’t break if they are dropped.

Candle Tree Holders

Candles are often incorporated into Scandinavian holiday design. One of the loveliest ways to use them is to add them to the boughs of your tree. Some candleholders have hanging elements that add to their charm. There are also clip-on varieties that can be clipped on to sturdy branches.

Flag Garland

The Swedish national flag is commonly used in holiday decorations. It often comes in the form of a garland that can be wrapped around your tree, draped over banisters, or placed on the top of walls and windows.

Lights

Nordic designs typically include white or soft colored lights that mimic the effect of candlelight.

If you are seeking inspiration for your holiday designs, look no further than Scandinavia. The country is known for producing minimalist ornaments that glamorize any space. Which will you be adding to this year’s décor?
