Everything about a Scandinavian-styled home is about using what you have, incorporating recycled or natural materials to create holiday decor that is simple yet elegant and foregoing excess. Think silver and white in a variety of textures from tapered candles to fluffy sheepskin stools. Or go for a warmer look with copper or gold accents brought into the setting.

Keep it simple and wrap presents in plain brown paper with a bit of dazzle and glitter to embellish your holiday gifts. Place these underneath the Christmas tree. If you're all about recycling, you can wrap your presents for family and friends in newspaper and dress up with pretty ribbons and bows.

Decorating a home in Scandinavian style allows you to incorporate traditional style for settings that combined china and crystal with just a dash of greenery with wreaths and garlands, and just enough red to warm up the festive dining table. A classic red tablecloth can be used throughout the year and it's easy to pair this with white runners and serviettes.

South Africans spend as much time outdoors during the festive season as they do indoors, and there's no reason why you can't decorate your outdoor entertaining area as you would your indoor decor. Think rustic, natural and organic materials.
