If there's anything that a hectic holiday season needs, it's soothing accent pieces to add serenity to your space. Enter Scandinavian holiday decor. While traditional holiday decorations don't necessarily scream hygge, even pros like Dayna Isom Johnson, Trend Expert at Etsy, can see why there's an increase in popularity of the interior design style.

"After a challenging last year and a half, holiday shoppers are looking to bring a sense of calm and quiet to their homes, so it's no surprise that many are pulling inspiration from the minimalist yet cozy styles found in Scandinavian design," Johnson tells Hunker.

Since the holidays tend to lean towards more extravagant pieces, Scandinavian style may seem hard to obtain during this time of the year. But there are a few key elements you can consider when you want to add a Nordic twist to holiday cheer.

"Those looking to incorporate Scandinavian style into their holiday decor can do so by bringing in warm textiles, natural woods, and calming colors to their spaces," Johnson says. "Swapping out a bright tablecloth for linen placemats, replacing colorful baubles with wooden ornaments, and opting for neutral-colored stockings are great places to start."
