25 White Decorated Christmas Tree Ideas for a Truly Magical Display
Attempts at reinventing Christmas decor haven't always hit the mark as intended. The traditional red-and-green palette has long-since fallen out of favor; the rustic Christmas aesthetic was hot for just one hot minute before it became its own aisle at thrift stores; and inflatable yard figurines had a very short-lived moment before they become something only Clark Griswold would buyto name a few. A white Christmas tree, however, is a timeless look that has passed the test of time. Whether you're flocking your tree to mimic the glory of a tree amid a fresh snowfall, bringing in white ornaments for a contrast the tree's basic green backdrop, or some combination of both, you can't go wrong when using white in Christmas decor.In fact, while the whole design universe seems to be going maximalist this season, the white Christmas tree, it seems, is having a momentperhaps in conjunction with such a color-happy backdrop. Stylus's head of color and material trends, Lauren Chiu, agrees. "Theres a growing shift towards quiet luxury and organic minimalism," she says. "Interiors will be dressed with pared-back, soft whites, pale gold and silvery tones, with clear glass ornaments for a serene touch."
