Dried oranges, large balls, family photos and themed toys have collected interesting Christmas tree decor ideas for every taste.

1 Decorate with fruit

Fruits (for example, citrus fruits) are increasingly used as a Christmas tree decor instead of balls and cones it's stylish, original and eco-friendly. An orange can be cut into rings and dried or hung straight whole. Both the one and the other option will look beautiful, and also smell nice, causing associations with the holiday.

2 Stick to minimalism

The minimalistic design of the Christmas tree does not require much effort, but it looks very restrained and noble. Even for a large tree, several balls will be enough, preferably one color. This decor looks simple, but very impressive, and emphasizes the natural beauty of a coniferous tree.

3 Come up with a themed decoration

Let your Christmas tree reflect what you live by. For example, decorate it with accessories related to work or hobbies. If you love animals, pick up themed decorative figurines or print out a photo of your pet. The main thing is not to hang a lot of jewelry, but only to create a hint of a favorite business or lifestyle. Such a Christmas tree will look very unusual and will definitely be unlike all the others.

4 Hang a lot of decor

The opposite way to decorate a Christmas tree to minimalism is to use, on the contrary, as much decor as possible. The number of balls and suspensions can be any, but you need to strictly maintain a certain style or color scheme, otherwise the desired effect will not work. A Christmas tree with a lot of toys looks very elegant, you want to look at it for hours.

5 Decorate with photos

A simple and beautiful way to make a Christmas tree special is to hang family photos on it. Black-and-white photos and vintage family porters look great. Print them out in the same format so that the decor looks uniform, or hang them in the original size, creating an interesting game of scales. You can add a small number of balloons or rain to the photo.

6 Create an alternative Christmas tree

If the traditional Christmas image does not attract you and you want something unusual, try to create an alternative "Christmas tree" yourself. For example, the frame can be made of wooden bars, and not only Christmas decorations, but also any beautiful little things can be used as a decoration. It will be interesting and very unusual.

7 Use an unusual color

You can play on the contrast with the help of an unusual color of Christmas tree toys or balls. Classic Christmas shades are red, green, gold and silver. If you choose, for example, pink, then even the most ordinary monochrome jewelry will look original and bright.

8 Decorate part of the Christmas tree with large balls

You can create an interesting effect on the Christmas tree with the help of ordinary balls, but larger than usual. It is better to use the decor in the same style. Arrange the decorations on one side of the tree as tightly as possible to each other, you can even completely close the needles. It will turn out very beautifully.

9 Use monochrome

The Christmas tree, decorated with a decor of the same color, looks laconic, but at the same time interesting. For example, it can be white ornaments in the form of balls, flowers or pendants. Such a tree looks very winter-like, because associations with a snow-covered forest immediately arise. Instead of white, you can take any other shade that you like and fits into the overall palette of the interior.
