Not a lover of the traditional red & green? If you're dreaming of a neutral, Scandi-inspired Christmas you'll love Karen McCartney's new Christmas Pinterest board. Here's a taste of Karen's Christmas style, complete with her own captions.



The tree
Who said a tree needed a conventional shape? Quirky charm comes from this irregular shape piled with presents.



The wrapping
Grey and white wrapping is simple but effective, and what a good idea to store in a open-weave basket. On the right is simple Christmas wrapping with a burnished gold star.



The wreath
A wreath worth hanging - it looks like it has been made by a specially trained bird.



The table
A clever table setting that isn't about tinsel and glitter. Subtle tones and natural elements make it special and considered.
