Christmas doesn’t have to be all about traditional red and green – if your tastes lean more modern, embrace the trend for minimal trees – with unusual additions that delight and excite.
A Christmas tree should be entirely unique and personal to you and your family. This is a sentiment that actress Jennifer Aniston follows when decorating her own one – even if that family is her Lolavie one – her collection of exceptional haircare products. But that doesn't mean you can't follow suit in your home this holiday season.
When decorating at this time of the year, perfecting my Christmas tree ideas is my favorite task. I always aim to try something new every year, and this time, I want to curate something that, similar to Aniston's, will mean playful ornaments, personalized trinkets, and gifts for the whole family.
These exceptionally affordable modern 100ft warm white Christmas tree lights are the first thing you need to dress your tree this holiday season. They are a simple, soothing alternative to multi-colored ones, and will mean your keepsakes and other ornaments will take center stage.

Alternative Christmas tree ideas are a wonderful option, especially if you have more than one tree in the house – and it is a trend that is catching on.
‘Over the past few years, we’ve seen homeowners have more fun with their decorations, as they opt for more color, novelty decorations, and ornaments they can personalize with photos and keepsakes, and even decorating as per their favorite hobby – be it bee-keeping, gardening, or even beauty related’ says Daisy Coombes, Marketing Manager at Sass & Belle.
Having a theme for your tree helps to create a coherent look – and while it’s good to keep up with Christmas trends, the most important thing is to make sure it’s one that’s true to your personal style and suited to your home.
Another important element to consider is the overall color scheme. Choosing room color ideas is one of the hardest parts of decorating, and the same goes for choosing your Christmas tree theme. If you are someone who likes a more sophisticated or tailored look, try decorating by pairing the colors on your tree with those you can see around the room.
Here, the Christmas ornaments subtly mimic the contemporary shades and tones found elsewhere in this modern living room beautifully for an understated glamor that looks straight out of your favorite magazine.
