Wanting to avoid red this year? Try out some green and white only! You can bet on different shades of green to guarantee your tree will be more than perfect; a Pinterest-styled tree.

3. Red (And Red)!

On the other hand, if you think red is a "must have" for Christmas, and you need a red decorated Christmas tree, mix some red ribbons, red balls, tiny red socks, candy cane, red holly sprigs, and any other red ornaments you can think of.

4. Color Progression

Bed in a light shade of pink, on each side two Christmas trees that have decorations in one shade at the top and gradually change color towards their base

No matter the chosen colors, set the tree's ornaments in a gradient, changing the tones down in each level of the decor. It will create a smooth and impressive effect, making your home a Christmas wonderland.

5. Rustic Tree

 Room with a sofa, a firewood holder with a pitcher beside it, some toys on the rug, next to a Christmas tree with rustic decoration

For a rustic and elegant Christmas tree decorating idea, use wood or copper ornaments, mixing them with autumnal colors such as dark yellow and brown. Pinecones and branches will perfectly complement that inspo – that can be perfectly considered a country Christmas decoration idea!

6. Lights Only

Invest in a nice set of string lights that change colors and sparkle at different speeds: You will be able to set the ambiance according to the mood, and nothing else will be needed. Also, check Christmas lights ideas in another eHardHat's special article!

13. Lone Branch
