Have you already set your Christmas tree in place and are ready to go? Or are you one of the many who has been procrastinating and has yet to get you tree out of the box (or lot)?? Well, whether you are an early riser or a late bloomer fear not, these tips may be able to help "spice up" your current decorations or give you ideas for when you finally decide to dust off your Christmas storage and have a go at your tree this year! :)
Ribbon
Having kids and a tree are not a good match all the time, tinsel gets strewed everywhere, in hair, on clothes, and even on the pets! Ribbon is an alternative to the mess, it allows you to give your tree a smooth and elegant look and yet still keep the youthfulness of it! Think about getting ribbon that matches the room that it will be in, and decorate accordingly.
Stand Out
Do you have white walls? Have you ever thought about using a colored tree? Red trees, blue trees, etc. will be a great way to bring color into the room and make your tree stand out against the sea of white walls surrounding it.
Vintage
Gold trees are a great way to get that vintage look and feel. Since the metallic trees are such a wow factor themselves, there is no need to over decorate this one. Instead, choose one or two colors and have at it. (I would suggest some green to offset the gold) And be sure to get a tree skirt that adds a cohesive flow to your color scheme.
Golden Rule
Here is a great spin off a traditional tree. Instead of keeping the tree completely green, try spray painting (just to tint it) gold. not all over, but just accenting a few places and then go back and lightly cover the branches in spray snow. Add some gold accents and ornaments to the tree and you have a classic spin off of the classic tradition!
Black Out
A black Christmas tree is fairly new to me, however it gives way to many great decorating ideas. Because the color of the tree can be kind of daunting alone, you will want to grab ornaments that pop out. A nice bright blue with some white lights and a tree skirt (or rug) to match the ornaments would make your tree the center of attention this year!
White Out
Here we are, total opposite of the black tree is the infamous white tree. I have seen so many variations of the white tree, but my all time favorite would have to be a classic black and white. Although it is not your "traditional" Christmas colors, in a contemporary home this would be a perfect fit. Add a touch of black pine cones to your tree as well as white icicles and think about wrapping your presents in black and silver wrapping this year to add to the effect.
Color Coded
Some of the newest color trends this season is teal and copper. If you are adventurous and want to step out of the box, i would suggest adding copper colored leaves, glittered sprigs, and possibly some bay leaves. What this does is accentuate the tree and creates a lovely contrast that will have everyone in holiday spirits.
