The Christmas tree is one of the key parts of the festive celebrations, and offers an opportunity to create something truly unique that reflects the personality of your home and those who live in it. Here are some ways to decorate your Christmas tree.
Get in the mood
The first step in to get into the festive spirit, so grab a mince pie or even a glass of mulled wine, put on that Christmas music and get started on the Christmas decorations.
Get everyone involved
A tradition that some families like to stick with each Christmas is to take the children on a shopping trip to choose a new tree ornament every year. You could pick one bauble each, or why not go the whole hog and choose a whole new colour scheme between you? Your local garden centre is a great place to visit for some festive inspiration.
Get the style
There are so many styles to choose from – or why not mix and match to create a tree that’s a true one-off?
Vintage style
Vintage style baubles and accessories are big news. They will combine very nicely with any old family decorations you have stashed away too.
Classic Christmas
Classic yuletide hues of green, bronze, red and gold combine to pleasing effect, creating a warm, festive feel that never goes out of fashion.
Scandinavian style
Home décor is very much the forte of Scandinavians, and the Christmas tree is no exception, what with Lapland being the home of the jolly old soul himself. This look can be pretty subtle, which is great for those who aren’t too keen on over-the-top festive decor.
