Attention, Santa's little helpers! We’ve got some great news for you – Finnish Design Shop showroom is brimming with ready-to-go gift ideas for every occasion. From thoughtful little tokens to timeless design classics, you’ll find something for everyone on your list. This year’s selection also features a few special seasonal treats, like the mouthwatering candies from Pärlans and delicious brews from Rite. Stop by, get inspired, and let the holiday spirit take over!
Wrap yourself in warmth
The peaceful ambiance of year-end celebrations comes down to simple touches. The top tip might sound a bit cliché, but it works every time: textiles truly work wonders. Plush blankets, soft wool cushions, and fluffy textures instantly add warmth and coziness – especially when the frost is biting just outside the window.
Set the table for the season
The easiest way to give your table a seasonal upgrade is by switching up the textiles. This year, patterned tablecloths are making a statement, while metallic accents and sleek chrome add a touch of festive elegance.
Feel free to get playful with your holiday table! Bold setups and creative food installations turn dining into a multi-sensory experience that’s as much about the atmosphere as it is about the food itself.
Let there be light
Lighting plays a key role in creating a cozy holiday atmosphere. Soft, indirect lighting and the warm glow of candles instantly make any space feel more inviting. This year’s must-have gift? Portable lamps that are available in a range of styles to suit any taste.
A timeless holiday favorite is Uyuni Lighting’s wax-coated candles with a realistic flickering LED flame. They look almost like the real thing but offer a worry-free option for festive displays and holiday home décor.
Holiday styling made easy
Staying on-trend this holiday season is easier than ever because just about every style is in! This year, it’s all about making Christmas your own. For those who love a lavish look, you’re in luck – the more is more approach is having a major moment. So go ahead, pile on the ornaments and let your tree shine in all its glory!
If Scandinavian minimalism is more your vibe, keep it simple with ribbon-tied bows as your only tree decor. Playful decorators might opt for colorful ribbons, while a monochrome look is equally stunning. The result? A calm, soft atmosphere that invites you to slow down and savor the holiday magic. Happy holidays!
