Drawing on the charm of artisanal Scandinavian folk art, 'folk' interiors have been trending all year, so it's no wonder that with the arrival of the festive season, people are bringing the look into their seasonal decor. Embodying the folk vibe at Christmas is best done through handcrafted touches: festooning paper chains, minimalistic tree decorations, and making the most of artisanal investment buys.

While folk styles are often kitsch, cutesy and vintage, our edit aims to modernise the look with a contemporary palette of burgundy, mustard and blue. The effect is an homage to cool Scandinavian style: melding modern Scandi influence with heritage styles, whether through a statement quilt or a textural, embroidered cushion. Bonus: the majority of these pieces can be enjoyed throughout the year, and not just until the new year.
