Christmas is just around the corner! To really get into the Christmas spirit, we decorate our homes every year. Beautiful Christmas wreaths, lanterns, candles andhomemade Advent calendars– a cozy winter decoration is simply part of the cold season. But sometimes, when the whole city and stores are decked out in an overdose of glitter and lavish decorations, we prefer to keep things simple and minimalistic at home. True to the motto “Less is more”, a puristic Christmas decoration is an excellent option to escape the hustle and bustle of the season and to feel calmer and more relaxed. Soft colors, natural materials and subtle accents – this year we're making ourselves really comfortable in our own four walls! Are you tired of kitschy decorative items and would you rather keep things simple for a change? Then put yourself in a happy mood and let yourself be inspired by our minimalist decoration ideas!
Puristic Christmas decorations: what does it include?
Minimalism as a living style has become more popular in recent years than ever before. Life in abundance has led many of us back to basics. A puristic Christmas decoration is one thing above all: simple and reserved. Subtle colors, clear lines and small details always ensure effective elegance. Above all, emphasis is placed on first-class quality. So kitschy plastic stuff from the 1-euro store has no place in the purist decoration.
When the snow is falling outside and it's getting colder, our home should be the coziest place to relax and warm up. Fluffy pillows, cozy blankets and soft candlelight create a cozy atmosphere. For example, fairy lights don't just look beautiful on the Christmas tree. They also look wonderful as indirect lighting and small accents on the windowsill or as table decorations.
Natural aesthetics
Purist Christmas decorations are about minimalist colors and natural materials. And if there's one trend that can't be missed at Christmas this year, it's guaranteed to be sustainability. Natural materials are primarily used. Think of wood, jute, grasses or cork. For a purist Christmas decoration, you can use everything you discover while walking through the park. Cones, fruits, nuts, branches and leaves are ideal for inexpensive Christmas decorations and give the rooms an elegant flair. The simplicity and clarity that comes from it helps us focus solely on the holidays and our loved ones.
Elegant Christmas wreath for the perfect puristic Christmas decoration
Beautiful and festively decorated Christmas wreaths are an absolute staple for a puristic Christmas decoration. We all know the classic version with four candles and green fir branches. But this year the Christmas wreath can appear a little different and more elegant.Advent wreaths made from eucalyptus, flowers or grasses look just as beautiful and are also super easy and quick to make yourself. Avoid glitter and colorful balls and decorate the wreath exclusively with minimalist pendants and pretty green of your choice. A great advantage of eucalyptus is that it stays fresh longer and looks pretty elegant even when dried. You can not only really let off steam when decorating the Advent wreath. You are also flexible when it comes to placement. Whether on the wall, above the dining table or in the middle of the coffee table in the living room - such a puristic Christmas decoration looks perfect anywhere.
Decorate the Christmas tree in a minimalist way
Decorating the Christmas tree heralds the coming family celebration. A pretty Christmas tree always creates the ultimate Christmas atmosphere and is the centerpiece of any decoration. However, it doesn't have to be really lavish and glamorous. Pendants made of feathers, metal or paper look extremely elegant and fit harmoniously into the modern interior design.
For a cozy, puristic decoration, keep it simple with natural elements that are then loaded with more fresh green. Take a walk in the forest and collect laurel and mistletoe branches, pine cones and moss. Make a pretty garland out of it and wrap it around the Christmas tree. If you wish, you can also hang seasonal flowers such as poinsettias, dried apples or nuts on the tree to add small accents. Or how about just grabbing a few glass ornaments from the store and filling them with small pine branches? Simple and incredibly stylish! Of course, you could also skip any kind of decorations and put the Christmas tree in a pretty basket.
Puristic table decoration for Christmas
Christmas is a festival of culinary delights! We can hardly wait to gather around the dinner table with our loved ones. And what shouldn't be missing? Onematching table decorationsnaturally! For a successful, puristic Christmas decoration, you should first think about a color concept and stick to it. For example, you could use the dishes as a guide or pick up the colors from other decorative elements in the room. Natural, simple and still super chic: with a few draped fir branches you can give the decorative bowls more dynamism and a wonderful wintery flair. Vase arrangements and flower arrangements can be optimally presented with red berries, different cones or fruit branches.
To create an attractive, puristic Christmas decoration for the dining table, you don't need to be good at crafts, nor do you need a lot of materials. It just depends on the arrangement of the individual elements. Subtle natural tones such as white and beige form a harmonious symbiosis and can be perfectly complemented with classic Christmas colors such as green, gold or red as desired. Even bare branches simply placed on the table create a cool contrast and a cozy atmosphere.
Christmas balls only belong on the Christmas tree? But we see it differently! The pretty accessories actually look great anywhere in the home and are perfect for subtle, puristic Christmas decorations. Fill a simple tray with a few Christmas balls and small fairy lights and you have conjured up an unobtrusive and very elegant decoration.
Minimalist Christmas decorations with candles
Puristic Christmas decorations without candles? Hard to imagine! Whether used as a fireplace replacement or placed on the dining table: nothing gives the room more comfort and coziness than candlelight. Particularly long taper candles in simple candlesticks or candles in glass are ideal for putting us in a festive mood and creating a happy atmosphere.
