10 Chic Christmas Tree Themes to Spruce Up Your Holiday Decor

The holiday season is upon us, and what better way to usher in the festive spirit than by adorning your home with a beautifully decorated Christmas tree? This year, let's break away from tradition and explore some chic and unique Christmas tree themes that will elevate your holiday decor to a whole new level. From modern minimalism to vibrant maximalism, there's a theme for every taste and style.

1. Vintage Glam:

Take a trip down memory lane with a vintage glam Christmas tree theme. Incorporate antique-inspired ornaments, classic glass bulbs, icicle drop ornaments, and strands of pearls. Opt for a classic color palette of greens, browns, and golds to create a timeless and sophisticated look.


2. Nordic Elegance:

Capture the charm of a winter wonderland with a nordic-inspired Christmas tree theme. Opt for a palette of whites, blues, and soft grays, adorned with textured ornaments, faux fur accents (your cat is gonna love this one, trust me), and crystal oversized snowflakes. Finish the look with twinkling lights and silver or gold trimmings for an elegant touch at night.


3. Bohemian Bliss:

Bring a carefree vibe to your holiday decor with a Bohemian-themed Christmas tree. Mix and match neutral colors and textured fabrics like rattan for your tree topper. Add a touch of whimsy with feathers, tassels, and strings of beads for a tree that radiates boho chic.


4. Metallic Magic:

For a touch of glamour, embrace a Metallic Magic theme for your Christmas tree. Choose a color scheme of gold, silver, and copper, and decorate with metallic baubles, shimmering bows, and metallic-finished oversized ornaments for that designer look. This theme adds a touch of opulence to your festive decor.


5. Whimsical Woodland:

Bring the enchantment of the forest into your living room with a Whimsical Woodland Christmas tree theme. Decorate your tree with woodland creatures, rustic ornaments, and earthy tones. Add oversized pinecones, twigs, and faux greenery for a natural and cozy feel.


6. Candy Cane Lane:

Infuse your home with the sweet spirit of the season by adopting a Candy Cane Lane theme. Choose a red and white color scheme, add red accents and decorate your tree with candy cane stripes, fluffy ornaments, and sweet treats. This theme is perfect for those with a sweet tooth (like myself) and a love for all things festive.


7. Modern Monochrome:

Embrace simplicity and sophistication with a Modern Monochrome Christmas tree theme. Stick to a single color or a combination of black, white, and silver for a sleek and contemporary look. Add geometric ornaments, a faux fur tree skirt and minimalist decorations for a tree that exudes modern elegance.

8. Coastal Christmas:

If you dream of spending the holidays by the sea, bring the beach to your home with an elevated golden coastal Christmas tree theme. Use a palette of soft blues and whites, decorate with textured ornaments, stars, and even nautical ornaments like seashells. Incorporate twinkling lights for a touch of seaside magic.


9. Celestial Splendor:

Create a celestial wonderland in your living room with a Celestial Splendor Christmas tree theme. Opt for deep blues and purples, and adorn your tree with stars and moon ornaments. Add LED celestial lights to mimic the night sky and create an ambiance that's simply out of this world.

10. Global Gathering:

Celebrate the diversity of the season with a Global Gathering Christmas tree theme. Incorporate ornaments and decorations from around the world, representing different cultures and traditions. Use a vibrant color palette and mix textures for a tree that tells a global holiday story.


11. Rustic Orchard Glow:

For a warm and inviting Christmas tree theme, embrace the Rustic Orchard Glow, where colorful additions of DYI dried oranges and pinecones ornaments adorn the candlelit tree (instructions below). This theme brings a touch of the countryside to your holiday decor, creating a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere.

  1. Either dry your own oranges or buy a pre-dried kit.

  2. Cut a length of rattan cord or twine to your desired ornament length. Thread the cord through the center of each orange slice, creating a loop at the top for hanging. Tie secure knots to keep the slices in place.


This holiday season, let your Christmas tree be a reflection of your style and personality. Whether you lean towards the traditional or prefer a more contemporary aesthetic, there's a chic theme waiting to transform your tree into a festive masterpiece.
