Trim Your Tree Like a Pro

When adding ornaments, stick with a theme, even if it’s a loose one. Find a common element, whether it’s color palette, style, material or a specific theme like woodland, coastal, rustic, lodge, etc. Within that theme, add lots of variation. Use ornaments of different sizes, textures, tones, hues and finishes. Mix new and old, handmade and store bought, high-end and bargains. Variety within boundaries prevents the tree from looking too crazy or too boring. Get more designer tree styling tips below.
