Dear reader

A Christmas FULL OF HEART AND HISTORY • The smell of spruce, candles in the windows, and a refectory table laid for her loved ones. In the home belonging to Gabriela Begier, Christmas begins long before the gifts are opened. It quietly enters the rooms of the house and the garden through all the little details that turn December into such a special time of the year.

Christmas in the greenhouse, inspired by nature • When the garden enters winter hibernation, Lise Lyhne, the woman behind the Instagram profile @fru.lily, turns her greenhouse into an evocative Christmas universe. A talented, self-taught flower arranger, she’s inspired by the shapes and colors of nature, and her decorations are wonderful examples of how simple materials can create a warm and inviting Christmas spirit.

Italian joy of food meets British Christmas classic • This time, Rossella has been inspired by a British Christmas classic. Mincemeat is a sweet and spiced filling based on dried fruit, apples, nuts and warm spices which is traditionally used in the small English mince pies. Rossella has used this aromatic fruit filling for several other Christmas recipes, including both classic pies and new creations. Her ideas have turned into a selection of rich, spiced cakes with lots of Christmas aromas – perfect for some cozy moments in December.

Jayne’s Christmas is WHITE AND CREATIVE • We’ve had the pleasure of visiting Jayne Daimo in the Danish town of Nyborg many times, and each time, we’re impressed by her level of creativity. This time, she’s showing us her beautiful white and rustic Christmas home where each detail has been created with lots of consideration and a personal touch.

Lay a table for wonderful get-togethers with plenty of stardust and recycling • For Christmas and New Year, we’d like to create a nice atmosphere by the table as we gather, tell stories and enjoy each other’s company. In this small theme, we’ve collected plenty of inspiration for festive tables that’ll allow both the warmth of Christmas and the lights of New Year to unfold. As always, we’ve added a hint of recycling, creativity and personality, because that’s our favorite style. We hope that you’ll feel like using some of our ideas to combine new and old items, creating your very own festive tables full of life, joy and funny details.

LIKE A WINTER FOREST • Let nature inspire your Christmas table, and create an atmosphere that makes you think of a quiet forest in the winter. Spruces, cones and small trees are combined with old chinaware, candles and nostalgic elements. The result is a table where natural, rustic and evocative details turn into a beautiful setting.

Pernille’s personal CHRISTMAS TABLE • Pernille’s Christmas table is full of fine and funny details, and nothing seems to have been left to chance. The wine glasses have been turned upside down and adorned with greenery, and in between the lamps, Pernille has created an impressive decoration made of spruce and other natural materials that adds a nice sense of coherence to the room.
