Best Christmas Tree Themes for a Cohesive Display – Make Your Holidays Merrier than Ever!

If you’re having decision fatigue this holiday season, then picking a theme for your Christmas tree decorations will help. Adopting a humorous, self-aware theme can help you relax and enjoy the season rather than stressing out over every detail. Those that put in the time and effort to decorate for Christmas may consider picking a theme to serve as a guiding principle for their decorations.

You can make a Christmas tree motif as basic or as complicated as you like. Something can be blatantly visible to any onlooker or subtly apparent to only you. The ornaments on your Christmas tree can be inspired by anything from a specific moment to a color to a feeling. Whether you’re going for a farmhouse, traditional, midcentury modern, coastal, bohemian, or any other aesthetic in your home, your Christmas tree decorations may be a beautiful way to remember loved ones and special places.

Check out these various Christmas tree themes to get you in the mood for the holidays or get you started if you’re stuck for ideas.

Handmade

This minimally decorated Christmas tree with homemade wood bead garlands and DIY etched oven-bake clay ornaments is brought to you by The Merrythought.

Gingerbread

Inspired by Charm’s gingerbread-themed Christmas tree for the dining room features gingerbread stars and snowflakes, burgundy and gold ornaments, and gifts wrapped in red plaid paper and tied with white bows for a warm, nostalgic vibe.

Vintage

Blogger Liz Marie’s maximalist, retro-inspired holiday decor is kept in soothing off-white tones to match her existing farmhouse furnishings. Ribbons, battery-operated clip-on lights designed to look like candles, mercury glass balls, and a few strange little alpaca ornaments are just some of the ornaments adorning this tree.

Black and White

Craftberry Bush’s black-and-white Christmas tree is warmed up with a DIY feather garland, a few shiny ornaments, and a few glimmering touches of gold.

Rainbow with Gradients

Using a combination of shiny, matte, and glittery ball ornaments in a range of sizes, this home office Christmas tree from Inspired By Charm creates a gradient rainbow effect as it wraps the branches in a celebration of color and joy.

Recipes for your favorite dishes

Elsie Larson, of the blog A Beautiful Mess, was inspired to create this cheeky glowing pink Christmas tree after falling in love with a croissant-shaped ornament. Larson recruited the aid of her five-year-old daughter in selecting an array of ornaments depicting various culinary items, such as pretzels, avocado halves, soy sauce bottles, cheeseburgers, and pizza.

High contrast

Annie Sloan, the interior designer, decorated a minimalist Christmas tree with gleaming red Christmas ball decorations and set it off against a deep navy-blue wall. The side table had a makeover with chalk paint, and now it holds a white vase with white branches for contrast and harmony.

Moody

Bria Hammel, of Bria Hammel Interiors, called her new line for Brooke & Lou “moody.” Oversized antique copper balls in matte and shiny finishes, acorn velvet ornaments, bronze metallic fern sprays, and soft camel-colored stockings are just some of the decorative odes to nature that adorn this tree, which helps to create a calming neutral Christmas scene with plenty of warmth and detail.
