minimalist christmas decor ideas cover

Christmas is not so far as it seems, so why not dip into all that charming stuff? Think of your Christmas décor, how do you see it? Traditional, vintage, Scandinavian or rustic? Today we've rounded up some pics for those who are interested in something modern – examples of minimalist Christmas décor. Black, grey, white and natural wood – these are the main components here, and then use your imagination for creating a perfect minimalist atmosphere: branches with garlands instead of a tree, black baubles, concrete vases for branches, transparent acrylic trees and lots of candles on the minimalist tables or just on the floor. Have a look at the ideas below and find your own inspiration for your minimalist Christmas!

Colors

Minimalism is about minimalist colors – you can go more contrasting with black and white or prefer a softer color scheme of grey and white. Incorporate natural colors – greenery and various shades of wood and make your minimalist décor more variative.

Natural Décor

Christmas trees can be decorated in a minimalist way, with 3D paper ornaments, pompoms, lights, candles and white clay ornaments. You can also skip any décor and go for only Christmas light or nothing at all. Eucalyptus and other greenery can be used to decorate your mantels and shelves, to make wreaths and garlands. Evergreen garlands and wreaths are nice for minimalist décor with a natural feel, and you can put pinecones in jars and bowls for centerpieces.
