Hot Trends for A Cool Tree

The holiday season is upon us and we bet — especially if your family is in a brand new home — you can’t wait to get the Christmas tree up to see all of its holiday glamour in your new family room. And that means the tree is up almost as soon as the Thanksgiving dishes are washed and stored. While you’re perfecting where to put the tree, you might also be thinking of “branching” out with a new theme. Here are some trendy Christmas tree tips for the season.

Bring out the elegant features of your home with a muted palette on your Christmas tree this year. Accent the beautiful forest green pine with white, muted gold and carefully curated glistening ornaments to complement a room’s existing design.

If “muted” isn’t exactly your style, red is always in when it comes to Christmas. Whether it’s part of a more rustic look or a more modern style, berries, ribbons and bright red ornaments are essential accents for any tree.

If you’re looking for something a little more stylish this holiday season, a brilliant blue Christmas tree could be the answer and give new meaning to “Blue Christmas.” This soft blue-themed tree utilizes silver accents and a gold garland to bring an air of elegance to the home. Note how the accenting presents really bring the piece together.

Our Christmas tree this year will be taking inspiration from the floral-tree trend. Whether they’re a white flower like the faux magnolia here or a more colorful one like a sunflower or poinsettia, flowers give the tree a natural burst of color.

Lastly, the Texan in us could never leave out the “glam” Christmas tree. “Glam” could mean a modern-themed color scheme or a shining blend of your most extravagant ornaments, but it always means a fabulous design.

However you decide to decorate the tree, always remember the best part: The time spent with the people you love the most and the warm holiday spirit it brings into the home.
