Simply Scandi's Christmas Edit at nkuku
The Christmas collection at nkuku is filled with timeless and unique pieces that have been thoughtfully designed to create a joyful, festive decor. Simply Scandi Editor Jen shares her favourite buys.
"nkuku is one of my favourite brands throughout the year," says Jen, "but at Christmas, there's always so much to inspire a Scandi home, whether that's for your tablescape or Christmas tree."
Handcrafted by makers from natural materials, nkuku's range of beautiful glass baubles, luxe cotton velvet stockings and inctricate decorations come in gorgeous rich colours, including amber and moss green.
For the Scandi table
"I love the glow that this festive table by nkuku has," says Jen. "Of course, candles are such a big part of a Scandi Christmas, but don't you just love how the warmth of this table's flickering candles is echoed in the rich mustard of the tableware? Team with some everyday Scandi classics, such as woven placemats and natural linen, then add a hero glass bauble with a sprig of foliage as a finishing touch for a beautiful setting."

For the Scandi tree
"When it comes to dressing your Christmas tree, I love to mix and match materials and finishes for baubles," says Jen. "Try combining handblown glass with brass for a simple look. Pay attention to shape, with drops, stars, bells – and even shells – part of nkuku's collection. Look out for their recycled glass baubles in classic shapes, strung with recycled sari ties. Some of nkuku's baubles are so lovely that I'd suggest popping favourites in a bowl on your coffee table."
For the Scandi home
"Away from the tree and table, there are plenty of other styling opportunities, and nkuku have some beautiful wreaths and intricate garlands too," says Jen. "Made from brass and wire, you'll love these for years to come and look forward to bringing them out each year."
