Update your Christmas tree this year with one of these three holiday looks. Pick from modern glamour, colorful classic, and vintage casual.
Monica Buck
Modern Glam
This all-white room with sea foam green accents calls for crisp, cool-hued Christmas decorations, so a flocked tree was a must. A sculptural white urn is an unexpected twist on the traditional Christmas tree base, and turquoise ornaments keep the tree fresh and fun.
Monica Buck
Disco Drama
A disco ball hangs from the ceiling and floats just above the crown of the tree. A bow with long ribbon tendrils gives this tree-topper a real wow factor.
Monica Buck
Ornaments and Shapes
The round ornaments on the tree echo the round curtain rod finials of the window treatment hardware as well as the pom-pom fringe on the throw pillow. Smaller disco-style ornaments and white frosted orbs bring the traditional glitz and sparkle of Christmas decorations but in hues and styles that reflect this living room’s personality.
Monica Buck
Package Perfection
Embellish gifts with ornaments that complement your tree. Mini disco balls mimic the tree-topper, and the same ribbon that cascades down the tree is used to tie these neatly wrapped boxes.
Monica Buck
Colorful Classic
Red walls and neutral furnishings make Christmas decorating almost too easy, but to give this tree more personality than your average green, red, and gold color scheme, a bells-and-holly theme was used.
Monica Buck
Ring Christmas Bells
Bunches of fresh holly and large gold temple bells top this tree for a bold use of traditional materials and color.
Monica Buck
Tasteful Base
A custom tree skirt using fabrics from around the room helps this Christmas tree feel like a natural addition to the space. Leftover scraps from upholstery projects are pieced together in rings for a simple, understated Christmas staple.
Monica Buck
Clustered Ornaments
Cluster small ornaments together for a big impact. Simply thread the balls together with string, and hang them from a branch. These tiny jingle bells recall larger ones on top of the tree and are so charming when used in abundance.
Monica Buck
Simple Gift Wrap
Use wallpaper scraps to wrap your presents -- not only does it save money, but it saves waste. Fun gingerbread man-shaped playing cards are repurposed as gift tags, or make your own using cookie cutters and craft paper.
Monica Buck
Vintage Casual
The grass-cloth wallpaper in this casual living room was the inspiration for this Christmas tree. A vintage wheel laced with garland serves as a chic Christmas mantel, and stockings cut from burlap complete this casual cottage look for the holidays.
Monica Buck
Living Ornaments
Introduce live elements to your tree. Glass vases filled with eucalyptus pods and simple white flowers are hung from branches for a fresh touch. They look good even when the flowers dry so they will last the entire season.
Monica Buck
Fabric Wrapping
These charming gifts are wrapped in the same burlap fabric used for the stockings. The gifts were then adorned with natural elements like wood tags paired with bronze filigree ornaments.
Monica Buck
Extra Elegance
Silver ornaments with a vintage-style patina work perfectly in this space. Leftover orbs are displayed in old, wooden baskets for extra sparkle around the room.
