Christmas Tree Styling: How To

Christmas is a mere 24 days away, and we can finally start to prepare for the festivities ahead! Drinking mulled wine, eating mince pies, and singing along to Christmas carols are all part of the excitement in the run up to Christmas.

The way you decorate your tree will have a massive impact on the feel of the space and the atmosphere you want to create for the celebrations ahead…

Winter Wonderland

To feel like you’re walking with Bing Crosby in a winter wonderland, opt for a style with a frosty finish. Carefully place individual ornaments to fill all the gaps, and add a personal touch. Combine soft mink hues with icy whites to inject a slight warmth into the scheme. Finish with a faux fur skirt to complete the feeling of grandeur.

Minimalist Statement

If a busy tree isn’t to your taste, keep it simple with a few silver and white baubles to accentuate a classic real tree. Nordmann fir trees are known for their full shape and excellent needle retention – perfect if you like to start the festivities in early December! Their beautiful shape requires little decoration and makes a beautiful minimalist statement.

Unique Alternatives

For a decoration that is even more pared-back and out of the ordinary, run a realistic garland down a modern pyramid trellis. Embellish with glossed coloured baubles to reflect the light in the room and inject some colour. This elegant décor is a lovely way of providing a hint of understated festive cheer.

Country Cabin Retreat

Red winter berries and fallen woodland pine cones create this stunning rustic theme. Layer with crimson baubles and mustard yellow ribbon to co-ordinate with the natural tones in your home.  This traditional tree provides the ideal back drop for sipping mulled wine with your feet propped up!
