Colors that never go out of fashion when decorating a Christmas tree are white, green and red. And by the way, all these shades will be approved by the symbol of the year.
Designer Tips:

- baubles made of wood, non-woven fabric or plastic can be stored for years without fear of them breaking;
- motifs referring to nature in eco style;
- Straw and fabric trinkets for decorating Christmas trees are back in fashion, according to designers;

Some people value minimalist decorations, while others cannot imagine New Year without a variety of expensive decorations on the tree. Gingerbread men, Santa Clauses, reindeer, bells and snowflakes are classics among Christmas tree decorations. Decorations made of lightweight materials can be used to create decorative garlands and beads. You can hang strings with bells or deer silhouettes above the door or above the fireplace. Also, classics will always be in fashion - round, single-color balls.

Eco style
Eco-style – interiors made of natural materials evoke a feeling of kinship with nature. This style is characterized by a successful combination of forms, natural resources and the creation of an open and bright space. Toys use natural and non-toxic materials, which improves the environment.
Christmas trees made of environmentally friendly polypropylene are increasingly being chosen by buyers because they look like living trees. Research has shown that this material, unlike traditional plastics, does not harm the environment. After Christmas, polypropylene is accepted for recycling.
Eco-style toys are aesthetically simple, but the most important principle is the use of environmentally friendly materials.
Handmade items have great value and symbolism during the New Year:
- fabric figurines;
- homemade balls;
- knitted christmas candy stockings;
- garlands of large beads and beads.
Natural materials have become a popular basis for jewelry:
- cones;
- dried flowers;
- dried fruits;
- wooden figurines.
Fruits for bright beads:
- dried orange slices;
- cinnamon sticks;
- mini dried chili peppers.
Russian folk style
A style that came to us from the world of Russian winter fairy tales. Ancestors decorated their houses in accordance with ancient traditions, and the original "Russian style" has reached our century. Rediscovering the spirit of an old Russian winter house, this New Year's style is suitable for decorating a Christmas tree. A Christmas tree framed in a Russian-style design is immediately a symbol of the holiday and will attract all eyes.
The decor consists of ornaments, motifs and symbolic images:
- Gzhel is a Russian folk painting style related to blue and white ceramics.
- Dymkovo toys – handicrafts.
- Shemogodskaya sculpture is birch bark lace created by craftsmen from the Vologda region.
- Folk lace.
- Glass products are the products of the Gusev Glass Factory, the oldest enterprise, famous for its swans and miniature animals in the form of elegant Christmas tree decorations.
Painted items are expensive, therefore sweet: candies, chocolate, gingerbread will decorate the tree no worse, if you want to decorate it in the Russian style. Nuts, pine cones: you can use all the gifts of the forest. Christmas symbols are placed under the New Year tree: animals, snowmen, Father Frost and Snow Maiden. Cotton wool is used to imitate snow on the branches under the tree.
European options and ideas
Europeans devote a lot of time and attention to the holiday, because New Year is not just an event, but a winter holiday shrouded in magic. In Northern Europe, strictly geometric toys were used in the 19th century. Before the advent of plastic, they were made from rye stalks. In the West, fir trees were decorated with fruits, which were then strung with glass beads. In France, red apples symbolized Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, but this tradition died out after several unsuccessful harvests.
In Eastern Europe, the tree is decorated in a retro style: lots of tinsel, garlands, glass balls and quirky characters. Traditions vary from country to country, but over the course of several generations, Soviet influences have been added, leading to the abandonment of some superstitions and rituals. In southern countries, Europeans decorate their Christmas trees simply and elegantly, using simple but elegant devices. Garlands of lights, pins and plastic toys in shades of gold, silver and red.
In black
Black is considered a classic when it comes to style and decor. Black trees are becoming popular on the Internet, replacing silver ones. The demand is justified: eccentricity, elegance, simplicity. Black decorations are not new, but they are at the peak of popularity even in the year of the Green Snake. They will never spoil the look of the tree and will give it a warm and mysterious aura.
The main principle of playing with black is darkness. The dark shade serves as the basis for the decoration, and then the author's imagination comes into play. Use only black and its shades or dilute it with white or silver beads. The contrast of black and red, crimson and pink is very elegant.
Add sweets and ribbons to your tree decorations. Hang lollipops and candies on the branches. Eating a sweet treat picked from the tree every day during the winter holidays is a creative idea. Ribbons play a more important role, as they prevent the tree from getting lost among the plain toys. Silver and gold ribbons twisted into spirals create a subtle and harmonious combination of shades. Ribbons can be replaced with bows, bells, artificial branches or animal figures.
DIY jewelry
Anything at hand lends itself to handicrafts. But if you only think about paper lanterns, snowflakes, and snowmen, perhaps you should take a closer look at ideas that look stylish. The handmade trend teaches how to create beautiful and elegant toys with your own hands from a variety of materials, from wood to fruit.
Toys can be made from colored paper or felt. A simple example is a New Year tree. If you draw an outline on colored paper, cut it out and glue several identical cutouts together, you can make a tree no less beautiful than a store-bought one.
Retro style
If the tree is retro, then the first and most common association that comes to mind is the Soviet style. Large, high-quality toys, bright glass balloons, multi-colored garlands and bright rain. Modern stores sell plastic toys, so to find retro goods, you will have to look for them in your grandmother's closets.
Hand-made toys made of cardboard or salt dough are also suitable for decorating a retro Christmas tree. The figures are quite primitive: horses, soldiers, snowmen and silhouettes of Santa Claus. The tinsel is made of thin shiny wire and then of cellophane. A child can cut colored cellophane into strips.

If we go back in time, this style can be found in Tsarist Russia. The Tsar's family was the first to introduce the tradition of decorating a Christmas tree. The living tree was decorated with golden nuts, ribbons, fruits and gingerbread. Candles were placed at the foot of the tree. All the decorations were huge and handmade. Because of their weight, the decorations were laid out and hung from a distance, concentrating on the paper garlands.
Boho style
It is worth betting on natural materials, quite simple and relatively inexpensive. After all, the boho style loves handicrafts and loves to create completely new items from improvised items.
In addition to lights, colorful garlands, also handmade, will do - like those we remember from childhood. Colorful trinkets, and even better, old-style Christmas tree decorations made of wood, decorated with bird feathers. Paper decorations attract special attention. Here, cords and pendants made of wooden beads, typical of boho, can also appear.
If you have some retro toys on your mezzanine, use them to decorate your New Year tree.
In boho style, use garlands of beads and feathers of different colors. Toys made with your own hands from salt dough will do. Don't be afraid that the decor of the tree will be oversaturated. Boho is brightness and imagination, a combination of different types of toys and decorations. Use additional bows, twinkling lights to create a volumetric effect. The brighter - the more original the tree will look. A shimmering top is also a must in this style, which is the final element of the holiday decor.
Loft and Country
The loft style Christmas tree has a subdued and reserved look. The loft style is characterized by a cool palette: winter colors imitate metallic shine, a brick wall, and upholstery fabrics of cheap furniture. Sometimes a bright, warm detail is added to tie the colors together. The most popular is a silver tree decorated with gold ornaments. You can’t do without a garland, a small star. Balloons are decorated with hearts, stars, and simple snowflakes.
