The brightest and most endearing dates of the year have already arrived. With the Christmas one step away we focus on leaving our home well decorated for this holiday season. One of the fundamental pillars of decoration are Christmas trees. Although there are traditional ideas, today we can do them in many ways.
Decorate the Christmas trees It is something very traditional in all homes and there is none that lacks this beautiful detail. It is the place where gifts from Santa Claus or the Three Wise Men are usually left, so it always has a great role in these holidays.
Traditional trees
The more traditional ones will want to have a typical tree in their living room. The color of the tree in green, either natural or artificial, and the accessories in gold and red tones. Silver is also used on many occasions, although in this case gold is better because it is a warmer tone. Do not forget the small details on the tree, from the balls to the ornaments, so that everything goes to match. Ribbons and lights are also usually a classic. Placing fake gifts is something that is done sometimes, to cover the bottom of the tree and to give it a much more Christmas touch.
White
We love Christmas trees that are more modern and special. For years trees were used in green tones, imitating the real ones. But some time ago we have seen that the trees of other shades, giving us a wider range of possibilities when decorating. The tree in white is a great choice, because any shade that we choose for its accessories will stand out well. It can also be purchased in black, which works very well with silver, gold, red, blue ornaments and, ultimately, the bright tones that give it color.
Nordic style
The Nordic style has remained in many homes and also brings us exclusive Christmas details. This style stands out for being very simple, almost minimalist, but with certain warm touches where wood and naturalness are the protagonists. Normally white is used to decorate, but sometimes very soft pastel tones are also added. In this type of decoration, the traditional bright tones of Christmas decoration are avoided.
Original Christmas trees
Among the Christmas trees can be found really original and fun ideas. Those who have a library, a book store or lots of books at home can make a tree out of them. Perfect for those who enjoy this hobby. As we can see, they have also added some decorative details, such as elves or stars. On the other hand, we see a Christmas tree dedicated to the wizard Harry Potter, for fans of the saga. The ribbons are turned into scarves that mimic Harry's, added huge round glasses and some details from the movie, like the sorting hat on top. Of course the idea could not be more original.
Trees with branches
Sometimes we do not have to complicate ourselves too much to achieve very beautiful things. For sample we have these simple and minimalist trees made only with branches. They are usually seen in the Nordic style, but they can also decorate many other homes. The decorations are added, which are the protagonists, and even some lights. The decorations should be few and quite basic, so that it is not overloaded, since its essence is simplicity. As we can see, it is usually used in environments with few tones and a very simple and elegant decoration.
Wall decorations
If we do not have much space to put a Christmas tree in the living room, we can always resort to the designs that are put on the walls. These trees occupy very little space and continue to transmit the Christmas spirit. On the one hand we have a tree made of ropes and small leaves and mistletoe. On the other hand we find an original composition in which you can see the shape of the tree created by dozens of decorative details. At the top, the star is not missing.
Bookshelf trees
The more functional ones will want to have Christmas trees that can be used the rest of the year. Well, although this seems impossible, it is not like that, because there are some trees that are real bookshelves. These trees are made of plain wood, with slats cut to create the tree's triangular shape. It also takes up little space, because it is not very wide. The way to decorate it is to add details on your shelves. From hanging ornaments to angels, candles and wooden or luminous letters. The combinations are very varied and we are facing an elegant and modern element. A different way to see the traditional Christmas tree. The rest of the year it can be used as one more tree-shaped bookcase.
