Pretty Splash of Blue
This tree is cozy with that pop of blue. The ornaments give different dimensions and pieces to make it stand out while still having the natural look of the tree shine. A look that will fit so many homes!
Multi Tree Goodness
Trees on trees on TREES! The dark green of the trees adds a gorgeous touch to a neutral colored home. If you want to add warmth and Christmas tree cheer, don’t be afraid to multiply the different sizes of trees throughout your living areas.
Tall and Frosted
A frosted beauty is one of my favorites! Frosted trees can give you “snow” inside your home (and your floor so be ready for that!) This tree is a great example of height. Slim trees are beautiful so don’t be afraid of having fun with them.
Drapping in Style
It’s often a fear of how will a tree that isn’t as full look but with the right decor you can elevate this look. Dress it up with ornaments that drape and add a pop of different sizes, shapes and styles. Christmas trees can be as simple or over the top as YOU want!
Gold Classic
Frosted, gold and layered! Hello gorgeous! A full tree is just such an elegant touch for Christmas that will be sure to fill your home.
Slim, Frosted and Adorable
Slim trees are really beautiful for smaller areas. Whether this is put in a room, a cozier living area or even kitchens. A slim tree that is frosted and has accents of large ornaments will stand out perfectly!
Accent Tree
Now this is a great additional tree to surround your larger trees or fill smaller areas. Don’t be afraid to use large ornaments on these to give them some depth!
Black Accents for Christmas
Taking a step away from bright colors and throwing in black accents is such a classy way to style your tree. We love matching wrapping paper and this will be a classy touch.
Red, White and Christmasy!
Large and in charge! Do you have a large tree that you are looking to fill with Christmas spirit? This classic red and white look is stunning. Really screams Christmas spirit and brightens the whole room!
Grinch Themed
This grinch themed tree is a favorite! This movie seriously can’t go out of style. You can add as much or little as you’d like here. This tree is jam packed with Grinch goodness but buying specific pieces will give it that elevated look.
Unique Ornaments
Whether you have a large, medium or small tree have some fun with unique ornaments. You may be worried whether large ornaments would suit certain trees but it really is all about placements. This tree really sparks creativity.
Magically Gold
If you are someone who wants all decor, little tree showing here is some inspiration. Even going as far as doing a banner and a very detailed topper is a great way to execute this idea.
Gigantic Ornaments
The overall theme for this tree is mind blowing! Start with your large decor and work your way to the small pieces. Have fun using big items for the top to make that elaborate statement topper!
Candy Land Christmas Magic
If you’ve been dreaming of a candy land Christmas, here is your tree for this year! The colorful pieces are stunning. Not to mention the ribbon looking like those yummy rainbow air head treats! You might stir up a sweet tooth but you will also have the sweetest looking tree!
Red, Black and Gold Tree
While this example is in a business, you can recreate this at home too. Notice how the additional details tie it all together. You can take simples colors, throw in large ribbons and large ornaments but really spruce up the surrounding areas to amplify any look.
Double Christmas Trees? Yes Please!
Does your living area have the layout for two trees? Don’t worry- we won’t think you are crazy! We will just be here drooling over your recreation! This look is screaming Christmas spirit!
Holly Jolly Christmas
A frosted tree with a honey/golden theme. These warm colors make me want to grab a cozy blanket, my book and a warm drink.
Simple and White
Looking to keep your white theme going with your tree? Try this look out. White the lightest accents of black and grey you will be able to accomplish this muted tree! It screams snowy!
Large Candy Ornaments
Giant candy ornaments are great for a fun year or if you have a business/classroom you are decorating for. With these giant candy ornaments you are making a statement without over filling the tree.
Timeless Flocked Tree
I look at this tree and it’s just a beautiful Christmas sight. The fullness and height of the tree, the classic decoration or red, white, and some stripes and the overall warm glow from the lights is all just a timeless look!
Gingerbread Bakery
Now these pastel nut crackers are statement pieces that you’ll want your tree to match. The small pops of red with the heavy pink and blues are just stunning!
Boho Christmas Tree
Unique ideas are something to embrace when decorating for Christmas. For example, the pops of feathers coming out of different areas makes this golden brown look stand out even more.
Lollipop, Lollipop Oh Lolli-Lollipop!
Lollipops, popsicles, and cupcakes OH MY! If you want more decor vs tree showing, here is your fun inspiration for that. Stars aren’t the only toppers to use. Let those large pieces really pop from the top!
Large Peppermint Accents
Peppermint candies have gone MAD! If you have a white tree, try this theme out and look at the incredible glow you will create. The florescent white with the bright red and candy cane features will make your guest fall in love!
Golden Pink
Golden pinks for Christmas? Can we say GORG! The detail on this tree is one of my favorites. There are simple pieces that elevate the look such as the ornament garland.
Classic Nutcrackers
Another nutcrackers look but these are a classic look! Red, white, silver and gold look beautiful all together here. We often see trees that have elaborate ornaments but there is nothing wrong with sticking to mostly classic ones especially with surrounding decor.
Ribbon Decorations
I have never thought of filling the tree with mostly statement ribbon. The way this is layered and fed throughout the tree gives so much emphasis to the shape of the tree. While you see a few ornaments, there is also added decor for under the tree.
Warm and Welcoming
One of my favorites sits right here! If you are looking to fill in a welcome space, I love the warmness this inspiration gives off. The flocked tree with simple decor that also compliments the surrounding area is exactly how I want to walk into my home!
Red Star Tree Theme
Another simple but festive Christmas tree that shows off its red and white theme. Simple, extravagant- it doesn’t matter when it’s filled with love.
Neon Tree Fun
Now this is a statement tree. Whether you are wanting a unique tree for your living area or adding a tree to a personal space (your room, kids room, closet) make it GLOW! This pink tree is screaming fun energy!
White and Gold Magic
Classy, classy and classy! Your holidays are going to be set right with a tree this beautiful. The topper is adorable but it’s also not over the top taking away from the rest of the detail throughout the tree.
Red & White Peppermint Trees
Giant bow? Cute sign in the middle? The CUTEST accent ornaments? YES! The tin tree skirt makes this classic look just a tad rustic and it’s a beautiful touch!
Red, White and Stripes!
Red and white stripped ribbon is the star of the show along with the Santa’s throughout the tree. Adding in a patterned ribbon might seem overwhelming but don’t feel like it can’t work. This inspo shows it will rock for sure!
The Pink and Gold Ribbon Tree
Ribbon being this thick and golden with those sparkly medium sized pink ornaments are a classy combination! Peep another touch of rustic at the bottom of the tree. You can get so creative with your tree skirt and tie that into the theme of your home.
Black and Gold Christmas Tree
It the topper the star of the show? I can’t even decide because this entire tree is extra! Every time I look at the photo I find my new favorite. Follow a theme and get wild with your lovely tree!
Black, White and Gold for Christmas Spirit
Goddess tree vibes are radiating from this beauty! Gold bells, gold feathers, black flowers… GOLD FLOWERS! This Christmas tree is stunning and has so many touches of a classic theme.
Red & Black Christmas Tree
Typically we see ribbon being weeded through the tree but you can always have pieces spiraling down. With the majority of this tree being red we love the black accents to really make it stand out. This theme would be cute on a regular or flocked tree.
Red, Pink, and Blue Candy Cane Tree
If I closed my eyes and thought of Christmas morning as a kid, this is the image that comes to my mind. Fun, festive, jolly and bright! Every inch of this tree is covered but the coordinated stockings, nutcrackers and wrapping it that extra delight!
Green and Gold Christmas Tree
A Christmas tree to match your bedding will give you that Christmas spirit the second you open your eyes. If you enjoy changing your bedding for the season, coordinate your tree to match the theme too. All the green, gold and white is right in the Christmas direction.
Simple Frosted Tree with a Touch of Berries
If you are looking for the classic theme of Christmas, try out berries throughout your tree. There is something so comforting of those little red berries and pieces of white frost. Classic and comfy!
The Cotton Candy Tree
One of my favorite candy trees throughout this blog because giant cotton candy is a DREAM! Do you want to make a sweet statement with your tree? THIS is how you do that!
Candy, Candy and more Candy
This Christmas tree will satisfy every candy lovers dream. I am really loving the single lollipop on top and the focus being on throughout the tree. Every inch of this tree looks quite yummy if you ask me!
Pink Tree Goodness
Something about the presents at the bottom really complete this candy land tree. This look is on a flocked tree with a pink fur rug for a great accent.
Pink and Teal Dreams
Teal and pink mixed with gold is a true delight. The extra pieces of green plants/leafs is a lovely and soft touch to the flocked tree. Incorporating this into the topper is chefs kiss!
Hot Pink and Orange Tree
This hot pink tree is bright and sparkly. Solid colors look fantastic on all Christmas trees especially when you have a few touches of silver or gold. In this case hot pink and gold are rocking around the Christmas tree!
Neutral Gold with Flocked Tree
A lovely flocked tree covered in mostly gold is just terrific for Christmas! The nutcracker matching makes this even more of a lovely Christmas sight!
Red and Green Christmas Tree
I love the ribbon and tree topper for this tree. The red and green are beautiful additions to these pieces. Adding different sized ornaments
Falala Tree
I am obsessed with how the bow sits on top and the ribbon flows after. Green, red and stripes ohhhhh my! I am loving the red tree skirt to tie this entire look together.
All Red on Flocked Tree
The red blow is the show stopper as it should be. All red can totally be done when you have a flocked tree. Any solid color with fun accents can have this look accomplished!
The Bell Tree
Gigantic bells on a Christmas tree was not something I ever imagined but I sure am glad this was tried out! This truly shows how creative you can get with your tree.
Floating “Candles”
Grab those battery operated candles and turn them into ornaments. How magical will this look every evening your tree is on? Quite the Christmas delight!
Pink Beauty
This is just that- a pink beauty! Hot pink ornaments with fun pink accents are a girly Christmas dream! You can add some dimension with fun ornaments or lighter colors in surrounding areas.
Neon Signs
I wasn’t sure what caught my attention more. Was it the pieces that included bird houses and squirrels or the star neon signs? Truly it is all of the above! I never would’ve thought of using the neon signs on a tree and I know this is a must try!
A White Christmas
A white Christmas has entered the room! Polar bears, white ornaments and decor, a frosted tree and the magic of the season will be radiating through your home.
Tinsel Tree
I will be honest when I say I forgot about adding tinsel to a tree. It’s like welcoming a piece of the 90s back to Christmas. When I see tinsel I think of the homes with children made ornaments and that really brings some comfort to my heart!
Dainty Decor
Unique ornaments are so precious. Having muted colors on your tree with hints of gold tie this together. Adding these pieces to a flocked tree is such a dainty and gorgeous look for Christmas!
Vintage Ornaments 58
While themes are excellent, nothing about using your ornaments you’ve collected over the years or even as a child is wrong. It can be a beautiful trip down memory lane throughout your Christmas season.
Sweet Sweet Christmas Tree
I truly love this entire tree. From the simplistic decoration to the simple tree and white atmosphere is just lovely. A sweet Christmas indeed!
Harry Potter
Harry Potter lovers will enjoy this tree. The color coordination is on another level and makes this tree stand out even more. The hat topper is just the cutest thing to tie the whole theme together!
The Bow Tree
The bow tree is a cutesy touch. Letting the ribbon from the blow flow pulls together a lot of the empty space. Looking closely I found the extra touches of the unique ornaments. Gorgeous and girly! You can switch this up with different colors and patterns.
Flower Christmas Tree
Flowers everywhere are a beautiful touch on a Christmas tree. This is why I love inspiration photos because they can give you that creativity spark you may be needing!
Snowed In Christmas Tree
Try out this awesome Snowed In Christmas Tree Theme packed full of adorable penguins, red and white decor, iced out picks and sprays and more! You can spruce this up as much as you’d like!
Hello Kitty Obsessed
Is Hello Kitty your favorite? Grab yourself a pink tree (or even white tree) and get to creating your dream tree. This would also be a cute idea for your littles who love a character. Buy them a small tree for their room and let them have a personal tree.
Rainbow Disco Christmas Tree
Rainbow throughout the tree is so much fun! Disco madness is EXTRA fun! These different sized disco balls along with rainbow accents are a new theme for Christmas. It’s welcoming, bright and overall fun!
Nutcracker Tree Theme 66
This entire tree is stunning. From the top to the bottom. The different sized ornaments, bright pieces of blue, checkered decorations, and hat as a topper make this tree one of a kind.
White and Gold
This white tree full of golden ornaments will light up any room! The surrounding area that has golden accents brings even more joy to the area.
Green and Brown
This color scheme is not used too often and I am not sure why! The natural colors provide a calming theme which will be wonderful to wake up to everyday. Light colored living spaces will look terrific being coordinated with this theme.
Emerald Dreams
Emerald is a classy color anywhere but adding it to your tree will elevate your atmosphere. Add gold features to make the emerald pieces pop such as your emerald satan ribbon. (Peep the giant emerald bow tied at the bottom.)
Nightmare Before Christmas
I just knew I needed to share a Nightmare Before Christmas themed tree. If you are a fan of this movie have a blast recreating a tree like this. While character/movie theme may not be your main tree, you can also add them in other places around your home. (Rooms, closets, dens, kitchen, etc.)
Minnie and Mickey Elf Christmas Tree
Here is a Minnie and Mickey Mouse tree explosion all over your living room and Christmas tree! The added decorations around and cute stockings close by are just precious. Take a look for those elf Minnie’s and Mickey’s or grab some that you have around to add.
Gingerbread Family
Add your Gingerbread cut outs surrounding your tree and keep the theme going all over your tree! Whether you go classic red, white and green like this photo or you find pastel colors to match.
The Statement Tree
This ornament coordination is quite satisfying! Bunching ornaments by color is unique and really makes a statement for your home. Who needs a topper when you can just cover your entire tree with ornaments. For the example razzle dazzle we sure love the deer decor too!
