Red and White Scandinavian Christmas

I can’t pinpoint when I first fell in love with Scandinavian style. It might very well have to do with the fact that I was raised in Geneva, Illinois … a quaint Midwest town west of Chicago with strong Swedish roots. I remember shopping as a child with my mother at The Gift Box , a Swedish store with those beautiful Dala horses that I always wanted. The Gift Box is still in business today, I’m happy to say. And they still sell Dala horses! Today I thought I’d share inspiration photos featuring a red and white Scandinavian Christmas.

Red Swedish Dala HorseAfter looking at these Scandinavian inspired Christmas photos, I’m tempted to take a trip to Geneva this weekend to visit The Gift Box. I just might have to take home a wooden Swedish Dala horse. I never did get one as a kid … I think I’ve waited long enough, don’t you?

  1. Having come from a Swedish background, I enjoyed all the beautiful photos. So clean and striking….just so pretty.

  2. I love Scandinavian style at the Holidays. Nothing say welcome like a red door on a white house in winter snow. My daughter and I went to Ikea to buy a sewing table, ( beautiful pine) and I fell in live with the simple style of pine . I have a colonial home so cannot do but my door always greets visitors with a pine wreath with a red bow.

  3. Yes, you have waited long enough…you must treat yourself. Two years ago I spent a week in Sweden….the week before Christmas. Everything is understated and wonderful! Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing.

    1. Omigoodness! You must’ve loved that week in Sweden. What a great idea to travel there just before the holiday. I’m sure it was gorgeous!!

  4. I love Scandinavian design. Especially with pops of red!
    We even considedered painting the exterior of our farmhouse falu red last summer, but I chickened out and we painted the house white. We did paint the doors red, thou! That’s as bold as I get. 🙂

  5. Obviously I love your home 😉 but I also love Scandy style. I like decor with red, white, grey and green ALL year round, not just Christmas 🙂 Thank you for showing gorgeous interiors (and exteriors too)! Happy Christmas from Melbourne 😀

  6. So beautiful. I do love the Scandinavian style! Red and White oh yes. Merry Christmas, Di@Cottage-Wishes

  7. Beautiful pins, my moms grandparents came over on boat from Sweden and Swedish days in Geneva has been a tradition since I was very young. I have a two dala horses one red and one blue. And love to decorate at Christmas time with my Swedish ornaments.

  8. Jen,

    I never knew Geneva had Swedish roots! I’ve been a few times…my hubby is an attorney and sometimes I accompany him to the courthouse and then we have some good downtown fun! Love the red and white holiday spirit!!
