8 Tips to Master the Hygge Christmas Decor

The holidays are coming in faster than Santa’s sleigh, and so is cold weather. 
When the air starts to nip at your nose and ears, it’s time to bring out cozy Christmas Decor. We're leaning into the principles of Hygge, he Scandinavian concept of deep comfort, with our favorite ways to warm your home and soul this season.

1. The Power of Sentiment in Layered Throws

“Peace on Earth!” “Season’s Greetings!” “Happy Holidays!” “Merry Christmas!” ‘Tis the season for decor that speaks to our ears, eyes and touch. Instead of just folding them neatly, plush quilts with nostalgic Christmas card faces can be draped artfully over the arms of a sofa or the shoulders of a person. These sentimental layers immediately add visual warmth and personality.

2. Winter Plaid Layers for Cabin Warmth

Plaid throws in classic Christmas colors offer a cozy way to get a cabin-in-the-woods look, without the logs, dirt, and frostbite. This pattern is perfect for texture blending, mix it with solid-colored knits. A plaid reindeer silhouette pillow takes the edge off from a long day of checking off your Christmas to-do’s by grounding the space in a rustic aesthetic.

3. Friendly Forest Creatures

Let’s be honest, even the Scroogiest among us loves a whimsical woodland creature. Well-drawn prints and patterns that highlight forest friends add character to your Christmastime home decor. Wrap up in one of these snowy quilts from the holiday collection this season.

4. Snowflakes, Sherpa + Plaid

This is the key to deep coziness. Snowflakes bring the winter texture. Plaid brings the classic comfort. Sherpa brings the essential, plush warmth. Mix them all together on a sofa or bed (or in a pillow fort, no holds barred here!), and you get cuddly perfection through deliberate material layering.

5. Velvet Comfort

When the snow is fresh and cinnamon rolls are rising in the oven, all that’s needed is a place to curl up and soak in the magic of the season. What better place to do that than a lush seat you’ll want to run your fingers across and nestle in all season long? Plush velvet with silky smooth fibers are basically the definition of cozy, adding a sense of quiet luxury through the power of touch.

6. Cozy Snow Rug

Create a Christmas wonderland with a rug that looks like the kind of powder snow that demands snow angel-making, snowman-building and snowball-packing. Complete the dreamscape with a crackling fireplace, and It’s a Wonderful Life playing in the background.

7. Fur-Trim, Presents-Stuffed Stockings

Don’t wait all the way ‘til the 24th for presents to show up in your home. Fur-trimmed, presents-stuffed stockings with wrapped boxes tied up with ribbon draw the eye upward, maximizing your vertical decor space and creating a sense of excited anticipation all month long. It’s the kind of decor the kids (or you) will be eyeing with excitement.

8. Warm Metallic Wrapping Paper

And while we’re on the subject of gifts, and the warm-fuzzies you get when giving and receiving them (that’s cozy Christmas in a nutshell!), the warm-fuzzies start with the packaging. Giftwrap is all appearances and pure marketing, in a way. Heighten their anticipation with appealing colors, patterns and textures. Once the season’s over, use those skills for national ad campaigns — those agencies won’t know what's coming for them!
