One of the best ways how we can set the mood for the holidays is by sprucing up our homes in a manner that achieves that cushy, festive feel. Although when thinking of festive decorations, one can feel a little obliged to stick to a red and green colour scheme and traditional ornaments, it doesn’t mean that you can’t get creative and garnish your home with stylish decorations that still embody the holiday spirit.

While we continue wanting to deck the halls with classics such as the pine tree, stockings and wreaths, it’s good to give a little update on our festive decorations each year. The holiday season is all about warmth, joy and ultimate cosiness, and that’s exactly what we want our decorations to epitomise as well. Below, you’ll find Vogue Scandinavia’s edit on the most stylish holiday decorations to adorn your home with this year.

Green eucalyptus and snowberry wreath

A wreath is a classic festive ornament, setting the holiday mood straight from the front door. This year, we're choosing a wreath that is beautifully put together with green eucalyptus and snowberries.

The Christmas stocking is a lovely, long-established festive tradition. This year, we're looking to hang up the adorable cable knit stocking in festive red, perfect to be filled up with delightful little stocking stuffers.

Candles are definitely one of the best decorations for creating that cosy and warm atmosphere. Coloured swirl candles in wintery blues and green not only deliver the mood but also act as beautiful decorative pieces.

Josef Frank Advent Star

We've seen beautiful advent stars lighting up windows for a while already, however it's not late to put one up now. Our pick this year is a little different than the classic white one - this advent star designed by Josef Frank has stunning pattern on it and will create a gentle red light.
