NORDIC STYLE CHRISTMAS DÉCOR

Is it Christmas already? Wow, where has the year gone? As always, I am probably the last one to put my tree up, get a handle on the Christmas shopping and above all get festive. You would expect more from an interior designer, right? I promise I am very organised when it comes to working on my client’s projects!

This year, I have been really inspired by Nordic-style festive décor. This style certainly brings peace and serenity to your homes, especially when preparing for the festive season can get on top of us.

The use of less is more keeps things calm and simple, while the neutral colour palettes create a warm, welcoming and comfortable space. Whether you’re hosting a New Year’s Eve party or just getting cosy with the family, this Scandinavian-style decor is effortless to carry off and feels fresh throughout the festive period.

Take a look at my mood board for some of my favourite picks (clockwise):

  1. LED Advent Calendar – I know we are already past the 1st of December but I love this piece! Fill the cute little numbered drawers with personalised gifts and treat your little ones or even your loved ones.

  2. Hammered Tree Skirt – Dress those Christmas trees to the max! Don’t forget to add a tree skirt to hide those unsightly tree legs. Tree skirts add a touch of glamour and a beautiful backdrop to those presents under the tree.

  3. LED Deer – Turn down the lights and relax with this delightful reindeer decoration. Bring warmth and ambience to your room with its subtle integrated lights.

  4. Bronze Baubles – Looking for unique baubles? These fluted, ridged baubles add texture and pattern with their marbled design.

  5. Antique Gold Metal Mistletoe Bundle – Self-explanatory let’s get smooching this Christmas! Mistletoe always brings traditional charm and fun to any display.

Go even further with Nordic style and bring in natural colours such as muted greys, icy blues, off-whites and toned-down golds to create a stunning yet subtle feel. Add traditional motifs such as hearts, candles and stars. Finish off with foliage or a bushy Christmas tree to really bring the Nordic outdoors indoors!

“TESTIMONIALS

Possibly the best experience ever! I asked Salima to design my newly renovated house with my existing furniture which was not an easy task at all. The combination of French heirlooms and traditional English furniture of different textures, finishes and designs were brought together in the most sympathetic and beautiful manner by this talented and thoughtful person. People coming to visit since have all commented on the sensitive and creative way in which she has captured the essence of our family turning the house into a comfortable, warm and welcoming home. I would recommend using the dressing service for any season, event or refurb. Salima will invigorate and breathe life into your home.”

“Quite recently our company (painting and decorating contractors) were asked by our client to provide an interior and furnishing designer to assist on a very large, seven bedroomed property, standing in its own grounds. We recommended Salima Mulji for this project and found that the quality of her design fitted the ambience of this project and also kept pace with the rigours of the decorating programme. Should you use Salima we are sure you would not be disappointed with the outcome, very professional.”

“I stumbled across Salima’s page on Instagram. She had an offer of a 90-minute home makeover which was reasonably priced compared to others in the market. I am so pleased with my 90-minute session, Salima is fantastic.
She listened to exactly what I wanted, she didn’t just agree to everything I said but explained how I can make the space better for me and my family. She helped me to understand how to combine colours and furniture.
Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to refresh or design their home.”

“Salima helped us design our guest lounge. We didn’t know where to start! She carefully listened to our requirements and asked us many questions at the start to ensure she was able to meet our needs. Very quickly she produced several designs and costs associated with all items. This helped us focus on what we liked and source similar products. We were very pleased with Salima’s input and availability during the whole process.”
— Mr & Mrs Mulji
“Salima is lovely to work with. She really takes the time to understand your vision and your requirements. Salima has a good eye for the finer details and is not shy of making bold recommendations to give it the wow factor. Salima helped me style a feature wall beautifully and it’s something I definitely couldn’t have managed without her input and level of expertise. I’d 100% recommend Salima, she’s absolutely lovely to work with.”
— Mrs Chauhan
“Being an electrical contractor I first met Salima on a very big project. Since then I’ve worked alongside Salima on more projects. She is very good at organising the project with 100% dedication and detail to make sure all trades meet their deadlines. And Salima’s interior designs never stop to amaze me, the quality of work she turns out. The customer’s face never fails to make me smile when they see what she has achieved.”
