Scandinavian Christmas Decor
Scandinavian or Nordic decor is very laconic: trees with no decor, branches with simple ornaments, tree figurines and candles will be enough to pull off such decor. The color scheme is monochrome, black, grey and white, perhaps neutrals like green, the evergreens are to be simple and natural if possible. You can skip any trees and choose just branches in a vase, some candles and prints. Incorporate stars, lights and make a Christmas village of plywood houses. Voila!

Modern Christmas Decor
Modern Christmas decor is perfect as you can vary it to more minimal arrangements or to lush and bolder ones. The color scheme is quite neutral, sometimes with a bit of mixed metal but not too many, just a little bit. Go for a natural tree with lights as decor and nothing else, rock evergreen garlands and wreaths everywhere you need, don’t decorate them with anything, only evergreen branches. Create lovely arrangements with evergreens and greenery, ornaments and pinecones. Lights are the key to the atmosphere, and small pieces like swags and posies or themed pillows add to the style. Merry Christmas!
