30+ Trendy Christmas Tree Ideas to Spice Up Your Holiday Decor

It’s that time of year again! Time to drag the Christmas tree out of storage, set it up in the living room, and start decking the halls. But what if this year, you want to do something a little different? Something out of the box? If you’re looking for inspiration for your Christmas tree this year, look no further! And if you like these Christmas tree ideas, you will also love our DIY Christmas ornaments and DIY Christmas garland ideas.

The first thing you need to do is decide what type of tree you want. There are two main types of Christmas trees: artificial and real. An artificial tree is a good choice if you want a tree that will last for many years. However, if you want a tree with a more traditional look and feel, a Realtree is the way to go.

Here are the best Christmas door hangers I’ve found:

This is one of the best Christmas tree ideas. It is a small Christmas tree decorated with red and white ornaments. I really like the red and white buffalo check ribbon for the tree and the overlook for the tree which makes it a spot for Mrs. Claus to sit by.

BUFFALO CHECK CHRISTMAS TREE

If you love using natural colors, you can stick with that color palette again this year. Add some natural elements like wood, tin, and buffalo plaid! They make the tree look cozy and inviting, while the black velvet gives it an elegant touch. You can use the dusty miller from your Thanksgiving decor to add a bit of greenery.

I love the Christmas color scheme that would compliment the beloved teal couch. I thought a classic red and white would look really pretty, and it reminded me of the North Pole and Santa.

This tree was created with the intention of replicating a flower bomb project from before. Simply wrap the flowers up the trunk of the tree in a spiral pattern. Though it would be amazing to have these as real flowers, they would only last for a day or two!

CRISS CROSS RIBBON CHRISTMAS TREE

This Christmas tree is for those who like things a little bit differently. If you want to add some extra flair to your tree, try crisscrossing ribbon around it in a fun pattern. You can use any color ribbon you like, or even mix and match for a festive effect. This is a great way to add some extra color to your tree without going overboard.

COASTAL CHRISTMAS TREE
