Why Choosing a Minimalist Holiday Decor?

It’s the holiday season! The best time of the year! But sometimes I just feel instead of focusing on the important things, we are busy comparing ourselves to others, so it’s becoming almost like a contest “who had the best looking tree/yard/house/life”..

And it can definitely be overwhelming and exhausting. In our transition to simplify our life, we also decided to keep the holidays about what’s really matters, family, getting together, and creating new traditions, not based on consumption, but on experiences.

Also, another one of our goals is to keep the a natural-like decor, made out of eco-friendly (or even zero waste) materials.

So we looked around (around the internet lol) for some beautiful, minimalist Christmas decor ideas and inspiration, to share with you.
