Spreading Season's Greetings! God Jul, Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays to you all!
In the heart of Finland, photographer Jenny Jolkkonen has captured the essence of the Christmas season in a small space or tiny house. The image, shared by @nordic_stories with kind permission, offers a glimpse into the enchanting world of Nordic home styles.
Nordic homes are known for their emphasis on natural light, quality materials, and a connection to nature. This photograph showcases a Finnish home, adorned with DIY touches, that embodies these principles. Unlike the previous photographs featuring specific homes like Maria's Swedish Country Home or Nina's 19th Century Home, this image does not explicitly show a particular dwelling.
The Finnish home, nestled in wintertime, displays a log cabin or Bohemian style, blending simplicity with rustic charm. Despite not showcasing any handmade decorations like those typically found in Danish and Swedish homes during Christmas, the DIY touches suggest a warm and inviting atmosphere that respects the principles of Nordic minimalism.
This photograph is just one example of the diverse yet unified Nordic home aesthetics. From small spaces and tiny houses emphasizing minimalism and efficiency, to log cabins showcasing natural wood and rustic charm, Bohemian style with eclectic, cozy, and handmade décor, Danish and Swedish homes featuring DIY touches and a warm, inviting atmosphere—especially during Christmas—Nordic home styles are a celebration of simplicity and nature.
