A Christmas Glimpse Inside a Swedish Home

A cosy corner in Niki Brantmark’s home featuring the STUGA Scented Candle.

The beautiful Swedish home of Niki Brantmark, creator of My Scandinavian Home, is currently wrapped in seasonal fabrics, fresh greenery, festive scents, and soft winter light—capturing the essence of Scandinavian Christmas.

“It’s the darkest time of the year, and even the daylight has a certain rawness to it,” Niki shares. “I think that’s one of the reasons I love Christmas so much—it gives the perfect excuse to create a truly cosy home filled with greenery from the season and all the wonderful scents of Christmas.”

The corner is filled with the signature scent notes of STUGA.

Niki describes her favourite corner as the spot everyone naturally gravitates toward. It’s where she enjoys her morning coffee while watching the sunrise, where her husband often plays guitar, and where her daughters love to unwind. At the moment, the space is infused with the warm, rustic fragrance of cabin life—the STUGA Scented Candle.

“Swedes are masters at adapting their homes for the season,” she explains. “In winter, it's all about cosy blankets, sheepskins, and bringing plenty of greenery indoors—and I’m here for it!”

Perfect under the Christmas tree - the Yuletide Gift set is an ideal festive present.

She also shares a charming Swedish Christmas tradition: “Tomten (Father Christmas) brings all the presents in a sack over his shoulder during the afternoon—though one family member always seems to miss him, usually when they’ve popped out to buy a newspaper at the most inconvenient moment! In the meantime, a few gifts are already wrapped and waiting for Tomten to collect.”

For a thoughtful present, Niki recommends the  Yuletide gift set , perfect “for anyone who would love to bring the scent of a Scandinavian Christmas into their home.”

Bring the Scandinavian forest into your home with the SKOG diffuser.

Her husband’s all-time favourite is the gentle aroma of the Scandinavian boreal forest, found in the special-edition SKOG Candle and SKOG Scent Diffuser. “It really comes into its own at Christmas,” she says, “especially if you have a non-smelling tree.”
