How to Decorate a Christmas Tree with a Designer Touch

The Christmas tree is typically the focal point in the room during the holiday season. Decorating the tree isn’t difficult, but approaching the process in layers makes it more manageable and the end result beautiful. Here are some tricks and tips for a designer holiday look.


Keeping the color palette to three main colors is an easy way to begin. Martha Stewart’s holiday tree above is comprised of different shades of yellows/gold, silver/blue and white/creams.

 If you don’t think in color, then you may want to design your tree from a theme. This coastal tree with colorful shells, starfish and sailboats was created by Martha Stewart.
The bright multi-colored ornaments makes adorable “monkey” Christmas tree that Tobi Fairley designed for her daughter’s playroom.

 
A well illuminated tree is the first step. Small white lights are typically more sophisticated than multi-colored or larger lights.
