Last year I kind of missed all of the Christmas preparations and the wonderful cozy moments that go along with it because I was moving apartments, but this year I’m so happy to be all settled into my new place and to take some time to add some subtile touches of Christmas to my home.
When it comes to Christmas decorations, I don’t like them in abundance. No big overloaded tree for me (no place for a big tree either to be honest) but rather a few carefully selected pieces for a subtile, delicate, yet festive touch in my home. Georg Jensen has the most beautiful collection of Christmas collectibles in 18kt. gold brass designed by Sanne Lund Traberg and I have used them in a few corners of my home to make it a bit more festive and season appropriate. I just love how these touches of gold add a soft shimmer to my otherwise more neutral interior. They really stand out.
I used one of the candle holders (which normally go into a tree) to decorate a wreath in combination with some eucalyptus and cotton. I think the wreath became such a minimal statement piece and the attachable candle holders must be my favorite of the collection. On my black marble table you can also see two Tunes candle holders designed by Monica Förster. They come in a high and low version (which I combined here) and they have a little tray, to which I added some mini pine cones and dried orange slices.
On my black lamp I attached the Heart Christmas mobile ornament and the Christmas ball ornament which are both very sculptural. When they move they cast a beautiful reflection on the wall. These are true collectibles that you can have for years to come and will never go out of style. Look at the two table trees on my coffee table as well, which are inspired by Art Deco and created with graphic cut-outs. They match perfectly with the ornaments in the collection.
I will also be using some of the smaller ornaments as gifts. I love giving gifts that are carefully considered and that are wrapped with great care. I think the small ornaments make for such a pretty gift attachment and the people that will receive the gift will be able to use the ornament in their home next year. It makes the gift so much more personal.
As you can see I have spread out my Christmas decorations in small, subtile touches over my home, but I think this will change over time. I will be planning a dinner for my friends here a bit before Christmas, where I will be using the table trees as a centerpiece and I think I might use some of the ornaments as napkin rings as well. I think this will make for such a great table setting.
