Norwegian home of Rune decorated for a cozy Christmas atmosphere
Hej hej! Welcome to a cosy Norwegian home as we take a festive tour, courtesy of photographer Rune Aas Strandvik. His latest Instagram post showcases Hilde Mork's delightful cottage, adorned with Christmas decorations that reflect the Scandinavian charm.
The photograph, accompanied by affiliate links, presents a warm and inviting scene. A striped linen tablecloth, a staple in Scandinavian homes, forms the base for a charming display of decorative elements. A harvest basket, similar to the one shown, adds to the rustic appeal, while Mathilde vintage chopping boards by Rune Aas Strandvik himself take centre stage.
The decoration, described as koselig (cosy), is a beautiful blend of tradition and contemporary style. Scandinavian star ornaments, often made from folded fabric or paper in red and white, reflect traditional Nordic patterns and colours. The natural and sustainable decoration materials, such as wood, wool, and fleece, highlight designs like Dala horses and reindeer, emblematic of Nordic culture and popular in Christmas decor.
Themes inspired by Norwegian winter landscapes and folklore are also evident. Christmas elves (nisse) and ornaments evoking snow and forest scenes add a touch of whimsy to the overall aesthetic. The colour palette is rooted in natural, subdued tones with pops of traditional red and white, enhancing the warm, inviting atmosphere typical of Norwegian Christmas interiors.
Rune Aas Strandvik's photos, as always, capture the essence of Norwegian homes celebrating Christmas with both cultural heritage and contemporary flair. Napkins, part of the decoration, add a touch of elegance to the cosy scene.
So, let's take a moment to appreciate this cosy Norwegian Christmas and be inspired by the blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and connection to nature in Hilde Mork's home. Hej hej! once again, as we bid you farewell.
