Never change a winning team! As much as we want to get off the beaten track, wonder will always be there when faced with a majestic, timeless, classic green Christmas tree. If it is done according to the rules of the art, in reality only he is left to embody the convivial and traditional spirit of Christmas. Because yes, tradition is sometimes good.
According to specialists, the natural fir decorated with red, green and gold remains unbeatable. Decorate it with garlands, balls, bows, tartan knots, candy canes and a sumptuous luminous star. And don’t forget to install the gifts at the foot of the tree, wrapped in red and white paper, Santa’s favorite colors.
How to stand out from the rest? Know that the trend this year is the large tree. If possible (and especially if you have the space!), treat yourself to a maximalist tree that will be noticed from afar. And if you want to play the modern card, swap the bright red for a more delicate burgundy red. Be careful anyway not to become too vintage, even kitsch. Don’t overload your tree, balance the ornaments wisely and install it near the fireplace to reinforce the warm spirit.

Nordic Christmas Tree: Scandinavian Minimalism
This year, the Nordic style seems more relevant than ever: bet on a very refined and minimalist decoration with an emphasis on natural materials, light tones (even neutral) and a slightly bright touch to maintain the festive spirit. Don’t skimp on pineapples, bamboo and other wooden accessories. The garland can be made from twigs of white wood and decorated with ornaments made from natural materials. For example, you can dress strings with dried pineapples or create a garland filled with dried flowers and ribbons. Give way to the rustic or baroque atmosphere. Sobriety and discretion are current, without giving up elegance, softness and conviviality.

Gold and silver for a glowing tree!
Do you want a glamorous and luxurious Christmas tree? The mix&match of gold and silver is always a sensation. All this combined with warm colors to reduce the bling bling effect. To decorate your tree according to this theme, use yellow or white lights. They will highlight your decorative objects, whatever their shades. The white gloss will even add an elegant touch to the room. Do not hesitate to enrich the tree with (fake) snowflakes and transparent balls to bathe in an even more magical Christmas atmosphere. When choosing decorations, do not be scattered – pay attention to the two main combinations that include silver and gold. It is important to respect the theme so as not to fall into errors of taste.
Creative ideas to decorate the foot of the tree
As we have seen, to personalize your tree, you will have many options when it comes to decorations and suspensions. The big stars, again this year, are artificial snowflakes, ribbons, little animals like reindeer, pineapples, candy canes, nutcrackers, elves, and other personalized balls. Natural decoration, in an eco-responsible way, is also very popular: a vegetal and woody touch will give your tree a more authentic look. The recyclable and the DIY concept are not left out: you don’t have to go bankrupt at Christmas. You can easily pull out last year’s decorations and create your own decorations with a little creativity.
But, while your fairy tree majestically imposes itself in the room, a small flaw comes to spoil the landscape: your bare and sad foot. Don’t be scared, there are a thousand and one ways to hide it. Certainly a simple blanket in artificial snow can serve as a foot cover. Same principle with the traditional gifts installed everywhere. But, you also have a multitude of creative solutions at your disposal to hide this empty space: you can, for example, place wicker baskets or wooden logs there. And why not install the traditional Christmas nativity scene there to dazzle the eyes of the little ones? Finally, you’ll be doing a good deed when you buy a Christmas tree bag in one shot: you won’t just use it to decorate your foot, to wrap it up at the end of the holidays, and to make a noble gesture to a charity.
