Think Outside the Box
- Do you have a certain style that screams Christmas for you? For example, there are some people who think that if the Christmas tree does not have any traditional touches that it is not really Christmas enough for them. If you have thoughts like this, it can steer you in the right direction in terms of what theme to use since you associate Christmas with a certain style of decor.
- Are there certain colors that make you think fondly of Christmas? For many people the traditional colors of red and green on a Christmas tree are one of those decor ideas that they love and want to use all the time. Likewise, there are those who love using silver and gold. Or maybe you may be one of those people who are open to using some off-the-wall colors on your tree? Decide which is best for your tastes.
- Have you seen a decorated Christmas tree that just screamed at you and you fell in love? One of the best tips to remember is that many people find inspiration from what they see. Instead, of having to think up something on their own, they may have seen a theme that simply spoke to them. If you are unsure of what type of theme to use on your Christmas tree this year, we suggest that you take a little time and research what other people are doing. Remember, the information that you find does not have to be the latest, you are more than welcome to use a theme that may have been popular two years ago — since the goal is to find a theme that you love, no matter when it was introduced.
- Think about the Christmas tree you had as a young child. Many people are looking to honor their childhood memories by making a tree that is like their old trees that their own parents made. This is a great idea if you want to showcase what your childhood Christmas was like to others — especially your own kids!
