More Tips for Styling Your Themed Christmas Tree
Here are a few additional decorating tips to help you style your Christmas tree with confidence and achieve a cohesive, well-balanced look.
Choose Your Colour Palette First
Begin with a colour palette of two to three complementary hues, paired with one accent colour. This approach creates visual harmony and helps prevent the tree from looking cluttered. Take cues from your room’s existing décor and select shades that complement your space naturally.
Layer Your Lighting
Add tree lights before placing ornaments, using warm white LED lights as your foundation. For added depth and interest, consider layering in string lights in coordinating colours or using battery-operated accent lights inside ornaments to create a soft, dimensional glow.
Follow the Rule of Three
Use three different decoration sizes, large, medium, and small, along with three contrasting textures such as matte, glossy, and textured finishes. This simple guideline adds visual interest and helps create a balanced, professionally styled tree.
Create Depth
Position larger ornaments deeper within the branches and place smaller ones closer to the tips. This layering technique helps showcase more decorative details, giving your tree a fuller and more dynamic appearance.
Add Ribbons for Movement
Weave ribbons through the branches to guide the eye and highlight your decorative accents. Choose ribbon styles that suit your theme, such as burlap for a farmhouse look, velvet for an elegant finish, or natural jute for a woodland-inspired design.
Don’t Forget the Tree Topper
Choose a tree topper that feels proportionate to the size of your tree and complements your overall theme. Stars suit classic and traditional styles, angels work beautifully for rustic elegance, while natural elements such as pinecones are ideal for farmhouse-inspired looks.
