The Spirit of the Season

By Thedesignerpad @TheDesignerPad

Seasons influence the way we decorate our homes. They definitely inspire us with their colors, textures and moods every time they knock on our front door. Swedish designer and calligrapher Ylva Skarp has already done a beautiful job embracing the incoming Winter season and bringing it into her gorgeous home (featured here back in February). Although Christmas is still weeks away, Ylva has created a cozy and welcoming holiday atmosphere in her house by simply taking advantage of what nature has to offer and using spruce branches, pine cones and twigs as seasonal accessories. She believes in creating small vignettes with her decorations instead of spreading out. And of course for her, candlelight is key in order to achieve a magical ambiance. This is already awakening my Christmas spirit.
