Candles, branches, perhaps a few fir cones – minimalist decorations need little, but achieve a lot! Jazz up your four walls with carefully selected accessories and natural materials, and create a subtle but effective look for your home. Tasteful symmetry and restraint offer a pleasant breath of fresh air in an otherwise cluttered festive period.

Combine a simple a-line dress with a polo neck and feel at ease the whole evening. Lightly shimmering lips and a pair of your favourite heels rounds of this minimalist look for your Christmas evening perfectly. Avoid colour blocking and leave your heaps of jewellery and patterns in the wardrobe. Enjoy the simple interplay of your favourite basics.

Concentrate on original, individual items and stay with one colour palette, as minimalist decoration works through its simplicity. Decorate surfaces with artificial snow and transform your living room into a sea of light with white candles. Make small accents with colourful fruits or decorative ribbons, breaking open the cool character of minimalism.
