Weekly Design Inspiration: Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
The holiday season is a time for celebration, joy, and, of course, decorating your Christmas tree. While traditional red and green themes are undeniably charming, there's something truly special about creating a Christmas tree that exudes sophistication and timeless beauty. Today we’re taking you through three exquisite ways to decorate your Christmas tree with refinement and elegance.
gold and white
Embrace the purity and opulence of the holiday season by adorning your tree in a classic white and gold colour scheme. Start with a lush, full-bodied white or ivory tree to serve as your canvas. White lights will create a soft, enchanting glow, while gold ornaments and accents will bring warmth and richness to your tree. Consider using metallic gold ribbons or garlands to drape gracefully from top to bottom. To add depth and dimension, mix and match ornaments in various sizes and textures, such as matte and glossy finishes, intricate glass baubles, and delicate angel figurines. Incorporate white and gold velvet or silk ribbon bows for a regal touch. Finally, top your tree with a shimmering gold star or a beautifully crafted angel tree topper for the perfect finishing touch.

natural elegance
Bring the serenity and beauty of nature indoors with a nature-inspired Christmas tree theme. Start with a deep green tree, either natural or artificial, as your foundation. Use rustic wooden ornaments, pinecones, and twine-wrapped decorations to infuse a sense of the outdoors into your tree. Intertwine strands of warm white LED lights among the branches for a soft and inviting ambiance. Add delicate bird ornaments and feathered accents to capture the spirit of the forest. Incorporate earthy, neutral tones, such as beige and brown, to complement the greenery and create a harmonious colour palette. Finally, crown your tree with a handmade wreath or a woodland-inspired topper, like a rustic star or a sprig of fresh holly. This nature-inspired theme will bring a sense of tranquility and sophistication to your holiday decor.

crystal and silver
For a truly timeless Christmas tree, consider a crystal and silver theme. Begin with a silver or white tree, which will serve as a stunning backdrop for the dazzling crystal ornaments and silver accents. Opt for crystal icicles, chandelier-style ornaments, and clear glass baubles to create a glamourous and sophisticated look. Use silver tinsel or garlands to add shimmer and shine throughout the tree. Enhance the sparkle with cool white LED lights that reflect off the crystal elements, creating a mesmerizing display. To complete the look, crown your tree with a crystal star. The result is a tree that exudes luxury and elegance, evoking the feeling of a winter wonderland.
