I naturally gravitate to the Nordic countries when it comes to Christmas decorating inspiration. Even though our seasons are the complete opposite and we're more likely to be chasing a cool breeze than snuggling up warm, we can still take cues from these minimal, nature-inspired vibes from the other side of the world. Subtle festive touches with an emphasis on organic forms against a muted backdrop, the overall feeling is simple, soft and sensory.

Traditionally Christmas Wreaths are displayed on the front door, but they can also provide a beautiful festive touch inside your home. A fun DIY, I love simple greenery, but I've also made them in the past with dried flowers. Anything goes!

With a focus on buying local, you can source some gorgeous Nordic-style decorations in New Zealand from Città, Leopold Hall and Father Rabbit. Broste Copenhagen (featured above) is distributed in NZ through May Time. I've hunted for some wooden decorations (inspired by the ones above) without luck, but I think the stunning NZ-made Walk in the Park pieces (especially the candlesticks) would work a treat!
