Popular Christmas tree decorations have varied over the years, and this year is no exception. People are taking a variety of items either not typically seen on an evergreen and using them, or are rethinking the way they have used these items in the past.
One such example is the star. This embellishment typically sits atop the tree, but this year it is being used in other ways as well. Whether it is a star garland or star shaped ornaments, they are being placed among the branches as a theme. And they go well with a collection of ornaments someone already has. This embellishment simply adds a bit of character.
Another example is pictures. Many people collect photo ornaments. Typically it has a child or couples picture in it, but they are now being used to showcase older pictures. Using either gold or bronze as the overall color theme, adding garland or ribbon in a complimenting color turns this centerpiece into an heirloom tree.
A way that people are personalizing their Christmas tree decorations, as well as many other home décor items, is with a monogram. Using a large monogram letter and decorating it before placing it on top of the tree has become a trendy option. A nice compliment is a monogrammed skirt at the base. A way to coordinate this is by using a single color ornaments or ribbon, and then using an accent color for an extra pop.
Any of these ideas are sure to make quite the statement during the holidays.
