Trimming a Christmas tree is like crafting a work of art—every light, ornament, and ribbon is essential to setting the overall mood.

Check out these ideas for creating your own magical expression of holiday cheer!

Sweet and nostalgic

A traditional approach involves showcasing ornaments your family has collected over the years, weaving a beautiful tapestry of Christmases past. To deepen the sentiment, embrace vintage decor and crafts, such as by creating your own ornaments or popcorn garland, draping old-fashioned tinsel on your tree’s branches, or topping it with a homemade star.

Rustic and enchanting

If you love the tranquility of a quiet winter forest, you could bring its serene beauty into your home by embracing its natural beauty. Start by stringing white lights and a burlap garland through your tree’s foliage, then add pine cones, wooden ornaments, and charming bird or animal figurines. Finish with a rust-colored star and a fluffy, snowflake-themed blanket around its base for an ideal amount of cozy charm.

Bold and happy

Fully embrace the cheerful energy of the season by going all out with vibrant decorations. Choose bright LED lights that change hues or flash patterns with the touch of a remote. Pair them with shiny metallic or glass ornaments that will complement and reflect the glowing colors, creating a playful scene. To fully capture the festive spirit, add a Santa hat at a playful angle atop your tree for a cheerful and whimsical touch.

Above all, have fun! Whether your tree is massive, petite, or even a unique hue like blue, white, or pink, you can explore countless ways to perfectly dress it.
