If you’re looking for a clean and contemporary Christmas style, the Nordic trend has your name on it.
Characteristically, you can expect large areas of red and white along with ornaments and sweet decorations
of charming reindeer and house silhouettes, plus candy cane prints and the cross-stitched stars seen in
Fair Isle designs. The iconic look promises lasting appeal and of course, a good dose of Christmas cheer!

“This charming Scandi design is from France! It’s well-suited to
modern interiors with its light background and fresh festive design.
Being extra wide at 160cm, it’s especially great for tablecloths.”

SAIRA FODEN, THE-STITCHERY

“A reindeer and tree print will make your Christmas table Scandi

chic! This one is fantastic for a table runner and coordinating

napkins, but also for stockings and other craft projects.”

“Featuring sweet Dala horses, teensy nesting birds, and red and

white tree silhouettes, this fabric is subtly Scandi without being

overtly festive – ideal for neutral interiors.”
