Decorating any room of your house for Christmas is of course extremely fun but let’s face it… the Christmas tree is the main event. If you’ve ended up on this article you are likely looking for a way to truly elevate the look of your Christmas trees this year and want some unique ideas for what themes to use for your Christmas trees this year.
This list has all the best tree decor styles and decorating ideas to help your Christmas 2024 tree your best yet. I’ve quickly answered a few Christmas tree decorating related frequently asked questions before kickstarting my list of all the best Christmas tree decorating ideas below.
How to decorate a Christmas tree?
Start by fluffing the tree and making sure all the branches are spread out. Next, begin with wrapping the lights throughout the tree and then you can add all your tree decorations on however you like.
How to put ribbon a Christmas tree?
Tuck the end of your ribbon into tree branches or use a small ornament hook to secure your ribbons on the tree. You can wrap the ribbon around the tree, slowly working your way down the tree while also keeping the ribbon not too tight so that it can always be removed from the branches if needed. If you aren’t looking for your typical ‘wrap around’ ribbon look for your tree you may want to hang cascading ribbons or use ribbons to make bows for the branches of your tree.
How to put lights on a Christmas tree?
Since your extension cord that is powering the lights is on the floor, it is important that you start from the bottom up when wrapping lights around your Christmas tree so that you don’t have the extension cord pulling from or running from the top of your tree. Gradually work your way up the tree wrapping the lights around the tree branches as you see fit, depending on the length of your lights.
How to fluff a Christmas tree?
Gently shake the tree to loosen branches and then gently spread branches, being careful not to snap them. Take it branch by branch and pull apart tips of separate branches which may be tangled. Gently bend the tips of your tree branches upwards to create a ‘fuller’ look. You may want to separate or slightly move around branches as much as you can to fill in any gaps your tree has.

6. White Christmas

7. Neutral With Tinsel Twist
These neutral decorated trees have become super popular in recent years and although I do love them, I feel like some added tinsel is needed to give the tree the perfect combination of festiveness and minimalism.

Is there a more iconic Christmas colour combination than red and white? A red and white tree decor theme makes such a quintessential Christmas tree.
