The clean and simple feel of Scandinavian design is very popular right now, and I'm so excited to incorporate that design style into my Christmas decor this year! I chose to decorate my front porch using a "Black and White Scandinavian Christmas" theme, and was in need of some decor for my porch tables. Using natural elements and simple items, I was able to achieve the minimalistic vibe I was going for, and I love that the pieces can be changed out to suit individual tastes! Take a peek below to learn how you can achieve the same stylish look.
On a protected surface in a well ventilated area, spray paint one DIY Small and one Medium House white. Allow to dry.
While the houses are drying, use a Sponge Paintbrush to apply wood stain to DIY Unfinished Wood 3D Stand-Up Trees. I used Minwax stain in a shade called "Special Walnut." Be sure to wear gloves to protect your hands. Allow to dry.
Create a DIY Snow Globe Scene by adding Craft Snow to a Half-Gallon Cylinder Jar with Lid. Arrange Green Frosted Sisal Trees on top of the snow and cover the jar with the lid.
Now it's time to begin arranging the Scandinavian Christmas Tabletop Decor! Begin by placing a Large Slate Tray on your table. This will serve as the anchor for your display. Place a Large Birch Round Centerpiece on the left side of the tray toward the front, then situate the snow scene jar on top of it.
Place the painted, Small DIY House to the right, front side of the tray beside the snow scene jar.
Assemble the stained wooden trees and place the medium sized one at the back of the tray, between the snow scene jar and the house. Arrange some Snowy Pine Picks along the back sides of the tray.
Fill a cylinder from the Large Cylinder Candle Holder Set with LED Warm White Mini String Lights and place that behind the house to mimic a starry sky.
Arrange more Green Frosted Sisal Trees and some Natural Pinecones around the tray to complete the look, specifically around the house for a realistic feel. If you have more than one table to decorate, consider using the DIY Medium House, the remaining stained wooden trees, and a Winter Wonderland Snowglobe for a cohesive, beautiful tabletop arrangement!
We displayed our Tabletop arrangements on our Black and White Scandinavian Christmas Porch, but this decor would look incredible inside a home, as well. In fact, I just may create some more to include inside the house because I love the look so much. I hope you love it, too! Enjoy!
