Scandi Neutral Christmas Tree Decorating Ideas

Scandi style Christmas tree decorating ideas using neutral ornaments, brass bells and DIY dollar store snowy ‘wreaths’!

This fall has flown by and December is already upon us! For the first season in ten years, since starting this blog, I haven’t shared a ton of seasonal content this fall. It was partly due to the busyness of life. Partly because I had some health issues. And, partly due to the fact that it was so warm and sunny until mid-October that I wasn’t inspired to decorate for fall! But… the snow is here, and Christmas is on the way. Time for some Christmas tree decorating ideas, amirite?!

I’m really excited to finally be back today to share my first post of Christmas ideas with you! This Scandi neutral Christmas tree decor might just be my favorite ever! Or…do I say that once every year I grow a tree? But really, I tweaked last year’s tree and love it even more than before with the addition of some cozy brass bells and wooden ornaments. I think you’ll enjoy these ideas to inspire your tree design this holiday season.

Today I’ve joined some blogging friends who are also sharing their Christmas tree decorating ideas, so be sure to visit their posts to check out their ideas. I’ve linked them all at the bottom of today’s article.

Our Christmas decorations this year

This year I decided that I would cut back a lot on the Christmas decorations I put up, and instead of the six we had last year we would only have one (or maybe two?) Christmas tree. I know, true, it was a bit much! No wonder I’m burnt out!

I keep our decor more inclusive and use things that I really like and think fit in with our new home. I’m integrating it into our regular color scheme more than ever (did you see my recent REEL on Instagram sharing our new dining room mural?! That’s the color scheme for our space). Anyway, I love the cozy feel of our great room decorated for the holidays this year, and can’t wait to share my Christmas tour with you next week!

Scandi Neutral Christmas Tree Decor with Snowy Garland DIY

For today, I’m sharing a look at my Scandi neutral Christmas tree decor that sets the tone for a cozy holiday season spent in our family’s great room.

If you’re wondering how I got the ‘snowy look’ on this tree, it’s using feather dusters from the dollar store!

Check your local dollar store for feather dusters on a stick, remove the stick, twist and fluff, and tuck into your tree. Voila!

Yes, I have a whole tot full of these babies and they are my favorite tree “helper”. thing? Not an ornament. A pseudo-wreath?? Either way, they are such a fun and cozy touch!

Don’t like what they add?

I used many of the same ornaments I shared this article last ChristmasBut I adore that brought a few new discoveries. In particular, these brass bell necklaces that I found at Michael’s are my favorite finds this season.

I always avoid the traditional star or angel on top of our trees and prefer to add some decorative choices instead – this white snowball is a cute and modern touch.

The only ornaments that are new are these sweet little wooden Christmas trees. I love the Scandi feel to them.

I continued with the Scandi feeling by gift wrapping (and yes, for once, those are actual actual presents under our tree in early December!). You can learn how to download mine Scandi farmhouse Christmas gift tags here.

I can’t wait to share more of our home decorated for Christmas next week. I love this space even more because I gave the walls a fresh coat of paint (brighter here, not stark white).
