Three unpretentious decor ideas for this Christmas season Slowly but surely, we’re ringing in the pre-Christmas season and starting to celebrate its cosy magic. As we do this, we reflect on what is essential and celebrate the "Minimalist Christmas" home trend. In this article, I will show you how to artistically achieve the effect and introduce three decorative ideas for a relaxed Christmas season. Christmas Idea 1 – Wrap nature as a gift O Tannenbaum [O Christmas Tree]! The Christmas tree remains the central element of our Christmas decor and the backdrop to our Christmas eve gift exchange. How about seeing nature as a gift this year and allowing the green of the tree to shine? Instead of becoming overloaded with sumptuous bling, the Christmas tree could exhibit itself in its simple garb, convincingly proving the motto "less is more!" And, on the wall, a companion — the artwork GINGKO – could join the fir tree in the room. The 50 x 70 cm botanical motif of a Ginkgo branch is designed in light beige and gold tones on white. In addition to having a simple beauty, the ginkgo is also a Japanese symbol of growth, protection, peace, strength, hope, love and longevity, as the tree can live to be a thousand years old. Christmas Idea 2 – Silent Night, cosy Night Christmas parties are often rowdy, filled with hustle and bustle. A cosy silence where you surround yourself with natural materials and motifs in soft tones, such as clay and lime colours, could create that subsequent relaxing effect you will need. Beholding the textile artwork WHISPERS FROM THE WOOD (80 x 100 cm, €159.95) is like taking a deep, calming breath. The winter motif of a bare tree in the middle of a snow-covered landscape reminds us of the power and tranquillity of nature. Christmas Idea 3 – Intense warmth on cold days Cosy comfort meets artistic radiance this Christmas. Works of art in bold shades such as red or purple combined with flickering candlelight bring an enchanting lustre to the home. When you combine these elements on a tray, you’ll serve up a little cosiness and add some floral flair to the party. The mini art print FLEURS POUPRES (€8.95) is a beautiful quality reproduction. The print can be supplied in a handmade A4 frame on request. You can choose from solid lime wood, oak wood, and black or white wood.  You can find more Christmas season inspiration in my Online-Shop, on Instagram or on Pinterest. Love,

Living space ideas for every room and budget Despite rain, snow or stormy weather outside, a few new living space designs can create a cosy indoor atmosphere. This winter, the colours we surround ourselves with at home are just as important as the textiles we love to cuddle in. It takes only a few steps and new colour accents to beautifully winterproof our homes. Whether it's the kitchen, bedroom or lounge, I will show you in this article how easily you can achieve this, and I'll give you three different creative ideas, to suit every budget.  Room idea 1 - Sunny times in the kitchen Outside it's dreary, but inside there's a warm colourful joy. The art print "LEMONS" (€59.95) brings light into your kitchen. The radiant yellow of the lemons not only brightens the room, but also your mood. Add a few additional soft contrast tones when choosing your cushions and accessories, and the whole room will show its cheerful side.

Indoor plants and textiles from the same colour family will intensify this effect. The sensual and expressive female portrait is printed on 100% eco-cotton, hand-cut and frayed. It is available with hanging clips or in a frame.

If you repeat these colours in various artworks, they'll flood the room with an atmosphere of harmony and peace. It is best to limit yourself to two or three central colours and reinforce these all over the room through various consciously selected decor elements like candles, curtains and bedlinen.  @tinystories.nl on Instagram The art print "JADE" (30 x 40 cm, €59.95), in a limited series of 300, connects soft colour nuances with strong forms. The pastel jade square, stands out in the layered construction of vintage paper in various shades of brown and grey tones, drawing and centring the eye of the beholder. This work is hand numbered and signed in soft pencil.

The original was painted onto fine vintage paper with handmade Japanese natural brushes. The art print is available in three different sizes: 30 x 40 cm, 40 x 50 cm and 50 x 70 cm.

The drawing of a female silhouette on white and soft sea green vintage paper invites your soul to wander in. It connects the other two artworks into a sensual collage in tones of green.
