20 Amazing Christmas Tree Ideas:
Green Christmas Tree
I loved this modern Christmas tree I did a few years back.
Green Christmas tree decorations just have that beautiful forest feel and really go with just about any other holiday decor you might have.
I decided to go with a green and white theme a few years ago for my Christmas tree decorations. The ribbon and big oversized green ornaments pop and really catch your eye!
I kept it simple, but love the overall simple and modern Christmas decor.
As you can see it really made a statement in our living room.

Candy Cane Tree
I know I am not the only one who loves these red flowers with the snowy white trim!
The poinsettias look great on this fabulous red and white peppermint tree!
The swirly peppermint candies look darling as tree toppers on this fantastic holiday tree.
I also love the popcorn strung throughout the tree as garland and you could easily use some pom pom trim to achieve a similar look.
Red Tartan Tree
Christmas tree decorations can be modern or classic.
If you prefer to go traditional, add a beautiful tartan plaid.
This Christmas tree looks amazing with all the red and candy cane touches, especially the ornaments peeking out amongst the branches.
Also, the red and gold Christmas ornaments glam it up a bit. I just love a classic red and gold Christmas tree!
Red and White Noel Theme
Speaking of country-style ideas for decorating Christmas trees, I am loving the rustic look of the NOEL tree below.
This holiday tree has a “winter wonderland” look with all the wood ornaments and the marquee letters (which can typically be found at your neighborhood craft store).
Notice the sprigs of evergreen tied on the presents too. I love how it all comes together in one cohesive look.
White Christmas Tree
This stunning Christmas tree looks like it was dusted in snow!
These white Christmas tree decorations include a fur garland which gives it this soft, snowy look!
Big silver ball ornaments and metallics complement the white tree and birch accents complete the friendly winter forest look.

Metallic Copper Tree
Metallics make great Christmas tree decorations and I love the metallics going on in this color scheme. The copper truly shines!
The ball ornaments look so beautiful with the white and green.
How sweet are those little owls tucked amongst the decorations? Little touches make this tree feel extra festive and fun.

Forest-Inspired Tree
I love how creative this tree is! You’ll have to take a peek to see how this look came about!
There are many great DIY ideas for decorating Christmas trees here, including the addition of pinecones, fur, and feathers.
Most of the items can be picked up at your local craft store.
Notice the fuzzy white tree skirt that’s echoed in those yummy fur Christmas stockings on the mantel. So cozy and festive!
White and Black Christmas Tree
Think black doesn’t belong in Christmas tree decorations?
Think again! Black and white Christmas decor is becoming so popular.
Buffalo check is so popular and it looks amazing on Christmas décor, especially on this tree as a garland!
That big metal star on the top of the tree catches your eye and really makes the other black accents pop.
Don’t miss the darling Christmas throw pillows under the tree!

Rustic Tree
I wish I could have a house in the mountains so that I could have this same tree on my porch.
It would look fabulous in anyone’s house as well! Again, plaid is a great option for bows that look both traditional and festive.
The natural elements like pinecones and berries play well with the lettering and Christmas balls on this tree.
Antlers interspersed among the branches are reminiscent of Santa’s reindeer.
Silver and Gold Tree
Here’s another beautiful white-flocked tree option.
Go all modern with this neutral look to decorate your Christmas tree.
I absolutely love all the different ribbons used and the oversized ornament balls in varying shades of beige and white.
A truly stunning, modern tree!

Candyland Tree
Love Candyland? I think any kid would be overjoyed with this tree, but so would the big kid in me.
The festive color block banner is an easy DIY Christmas garland your little ones could help create.
There are many crafty ideas for decorating Christmas trees incorporated into this look, including those big wrapped candies sitting on the faux fur tree skirt.
This would be such a cute theme to create some small Christmas tree decorations for kids room or a playroom.

Pinecone Christmas Tree
A simple farmhouse Christmas tree looks so beautiful with oversized white ornaments, pine cones, lace, and burlap.
The Christmas tree decorations aren’t over-the-top, but they come together in a way that makes this tree truly a show-stopper.

Red and Green Tree
A pretty plaid ribbon peeks out from this flocked Christmas tree.
The idea of using tiny cottages as Christmas tree decorations are very unique.
Combined with the skis used as a tree topper, this tree transports you to an Alpine village in the snow.
Branches of evergreen and holiday berries are on-point.

Bronze and White Tree
Think beige is boring?
Not when it comes to elegant Christmas tree ideas!
A neutral tree is never too simple. In fact, this tree has a lovely elevated feel.
Most of the decor is floral picks with different-sized ornaments tucked into the branches.
The cluster of ribbons tied to the branches is such a simple whimsical touch.

Turquoise Christmas Tree
How lovely is this turquoise-decorated tree!?
It’s perfectly fine to pick a less-traditional holiday color, especially if it looks great with the color scheme of the room.
Decorate your tree with your favorite color entirely or use it as the accent color to add a pop here and there.
Using a bright, fun color will definitely work in your favor!
You’ll have a unique Christmas tree that’s all your own.

Silver and Gold Tree
This stunning Christmas tree is decked out in gold all over, with rustic wood ornaments and pine cones.
The metallic wash tub is a great rustic base for your Christmas tree.
Add to the country vibe with twigs tucked in throughout the tree.

Go all out and create a tree that looks like it came directly from the North Pole by Santa himself!
The big guy definitely won’t miss these cute candy stripes.
Stars and fun red accents are the perfect touches for this festive Christmas tree.
Advent Tree
How fun is this Advent-style tree!?
The cute houses and numbers are perfect Christmas tree decorations to help count down the days until Christmas.
Branches, burlap, and flocked pine boughs bring it all together.
I love the idea of a sleigh to hold all those cute striped presents under the tree.
White Christmas Tree
This Christmas tree seems to be saying, “Let it Snow!”
From the sparkly glitter to the soft white fur tree skirt and the owl friends peeping out from the presents, this is a stunning Christmas tree!
The lettered Merry Christmas banner is so cute and keeps this tree friendly and fun!
Red and Green Tree
Lime green looks great against the evergreen boughs.
Traditional Christmas colors of red and green get a modern update with these ball ornaments.
Throw in a few snowflakes and you’ve got a fun and elegant tree that’s really eye-catching.
I love the funky urn they used as a base for this tree.
