Scandinavian style is all about clean lines, natural materials, and neutral colors. So it comes as no surprise that the IKEA Winter Holiday Shop is stocked with pine trees, spruce garlands, and elegant icicle ornaments to create a winter wonderland indoors.
I turn to IKEA to inspire my Christmas decor ideas every year and for 2024, they've gone above and beyond with their VINTERFINT collection, inspired by the Swedish countryside with its little red cottages and pure white snow. Elsewhere in the IKEA Winter Holiday Shop, I've found adorable ornaments, as well as wreaths and garlands to tie it all together.
Best of all, each piece is seriously affordable. Some of the most charming ornaments costing just $1 per piece and even a full-sized Christmas tree will only set you back $100. When you shop the IKEA Winter Holiday Shop, you can make all manner of easy and affordable festive updates.

The secret to decorating tastefully for Christmas is to be selective. That's why I've spent hours sorting through 182 items in the VINTERFINT collection, and scores more in the IKEA Winter Holiday Shop, to pick out the most durable design with timeless style.
Holiday ornaments
I like this bare-bones, skeletal take on a star. There's something quite industrial about the spring coil base and exposed beams. This is the ideal tree topper to complement your modern Christmas decor ideas.
These assemble-yourself heart-shaped ornaments offer an easy opportunity for loved ones and little ones to help trim the tree.
These icicle-shaped ornaments are made from glass to reflect and refract the glow of your string lights, creating a festive light display around your tree.
Christmas tree and accessories
This artificial pine stands 70 inches tall. It's ideally sized for smaller-space living. Each pine tip is carefully delineated and each branch set ever so slightly askew to look like the real thing.
If you're working with limited floor space this holiday season, you could always try mounting your Christmas tree on the wall. This piece is made from pine wood and you can push and pull it into the shape that suits your space.
Whether you're working with a real tree or an artificial alternative, you need to find a way to hide the unsightly stand or stump. This rattan tree skirt feels like a natural continuation of a Christmas tree trunk.
Holiday lights
This star-shaped lamp shade is straight out of the Nativity. I love the little perforations across the white cardboard base, creating that lace look to disperse light for a warm glow.
Twine these star-studded string lights through the branches of your Christmas tree for a touch of sparkle. Alternatively, wrap them around a garland or display inside a Mason jar to create a festive centerpiece.
Place this house pride of place on a console table and dim the lights to let it shine. Surround with ornaments to create a festive, snow-capped scene.
Wreaths and garlands
This piece gives me so many Christmas garland ideas. You could twine the garland through the banisters to spruce up your staircase or spread it along the mantel to frame the fireplace.
Lined with artificial pine needles and interspersed with pine cones, this is the sort of subtly seasonal wreath that could go up in November and stick around well into the New Year.
If you're hosting this holiday season, then a bauble wreath could be just what you need to get the party started. I love the range of shapes, shades, and sizes of baubles, adding depth and dimension to the wreath.
IKEA aren't the only ones getting into the holiday spirit in October. Magnolia just relaunched their Hearth & Hand Holiday Collection at Target and Joanna Gaines has picked out a few of her favorite pieces to shop this season.
