When it comes to Christmas, we often think of traditional red, green, and gold. But if you’re looking to break away from the norm and make a statement this holiday season, why not embrace the elegance of blue Christmas tree? From deep navy to icy sky tones, blue can bring a unique and sophisticated vibe to your holiday decor.
The first step in creating your blue Christmas wonderland is choosing the right shades of blue for your tree. Opt for a combination of deep blues like navy or royal, paired with lighter shades such as baby blue or teal.
Now that you have your color palette, it’s time to start decorating! Incorporate blue ornaments in various shapes and sizes think baubles, stars, and even icicles. Mix in metallic accents like silver or gold to add a touch of sparkle. And don’t forget to layer in some texture with ribbon or garland in complementary shades.
When decorating your blue-themed tree, layering is key. Start by wrapping the tree with blue ribbon or garland, followed by placing your larger ornaments deep within the branches. This creates a sense of depth and fullness. Finish with smaller ornaments toward the tips of the branches, and top it all off with a stunning blue star or angel.
Lighting plays a crucial role in enhancing your tree’s blue theme. White or blue LED lights can create a magical glow that highlights the beauty of your blue decorations.
To truly make your blue Christmas tree stand out, think about the overall aesthetic of your holiday decor. Incorporate blue elements throughout your space, such as blue throw pillows, table settings, or even a blue wreath on your front door.
Finally, consider adding a personal touch to your blue-themed tree. Whether it’s a family heirloom ornament, a handmade decoration, or a photo of loved ones, these small additions will make your tree feel truly special and uniquely yours.
In most of the homes I decorate, they underestimate how many ornaments will fill the tree.
