Pet Friendly Pets LOVE to play (read: destroy) Christmas trees. Thankfully, there are some tips you can follow to help keep your pets secure and your tree intact. Opt for an artificial tree that's under six feet tall and anchor it securely to the wall or floor to prevent toppling. Use flat matte ornaments that are larger in size -- they're less appealing to pets than glistening ornaments and are harder to chew on or swallow. Attach decorations securely with twist ties and avoid hanging a lot of on the bottom quarter of the tree. Don't use tinsel or garland, as pets can easily entangle themselves or choke on swallowed pieces. Lastly, tape down or cover any electric wires, and constantly turn the tree off when you aren't inside the room.
Classic Meets Mod Mix trendy with conventional. Traditional silver and gold ornaments and beaded garland match a trendy monogram topper with this chic, tree.
Bring Out the Color Even in the event that you don't adopt colour in your daily decorating, Christmas is the one time of year you may go overboard. Start looking for decorations in bold blues, vivid greens, pinks and purples and pair them with metallics, such as gold and silver for a festive tree that is sure to draw attention.

Brilliant Bulbs For a straightforward and fast Christmas decorating solution, transform your tree into a fun holiday personality, like this cute snowman. "First create a snowman face and head from a big, foam flowery world and place it at the top of the shrub," says designer Brian Patrick Flynn. "Next, put in two scarves just beneath the head. To make the look of coat buttons, line three up to seven black decorations at the center of the tree. Last, provide the snowman arms with branches positioned roughly two-thirds of the way on each side."

Place a Bow on It Amp up your tree's flair and character with the addition of a small number of oversized ornaments, like those DIY sensed poinsettias. Create graphic focal points by simply hanging the large-scale ornaments initially, then decorate the remainder of the tree with little baubles, trinkets and winter berries in complementary hues.
Statement Ornament "A designer suggestion for adding depth to a Christmas tree decor would be to cluster similar ornaments together then hang them within the tree and along the tips of branches," says designer Brian Patrick Flynn. "From a distance the planets will read a lot more than simply tucked and partially-hidden single ornaments, plus they'll help fill voids through the tree."
Cluster Small Ornaments Together Start a new family tradition by turning your tree into a beautiful, vintage Advent calendar. This handmade garland variant is created from printed linen pockets that hold candy or small gifts for every day of the Advent.
Advent Calendar Garland "Update pinecones with holiday flair by gently misting with white spray paint across the whole body until they take on a snowy, cursory appearance," says designer Brian Patrick Flynn. "Once dry, layer whitened pinecones onto branches with rope as hangers or simply place loosely across the tree"
Update Natural Accessories Can't eliminate this Christmas? Transform your home into a luxurious holiday location with ornaments and decorations sourced from or inspired by your favourite locale.

Beachy Beauty Mix it up this year by replacing your normal tree skirt with a repurposed container like a vintage wine cage or galvanized wash tub.

Drape a coating of coordinating cloth between the tree and container for a polished appearance.
Forget the Tree Skirt Repurpose final year's Christmas cards into a festive and meaningful tree garland.
Put Holiday Cards to Good Use Produce a fun, eclectic layout by tying ribbon into a tree's branches. Place pieces close together in one, bold color or arrange within an ombre pattern using light-colored ribbon at the top then graduating darker shades of the same hue as you proceed toward the foundation. Tip: To save money, purchase ribbon scraps from your regional craft store or save bits from gifts or crafts throughout the year.
Ribbons Galore Change your family's special memories to beautiful decorations. Snap photos on vacations, during major life events and if you or your children participate in sports or hobbies, then publish the pictures in sepia or black and white for a vintage appearance. Place the photographs in tiny gilded frames and hang from your tree. Each Christmas you'll be reminded of your family's adventures and favorite memories.
Remember When... Bright, cheery neutrals are a great match in just about any interior design, making them suitable for decorating. This crisp, white tree isn't anything but bland when trimmed with contemporary parchment-colored decorations and glossy garland. Create a beautiful, contemporary statement in your home with this easily adaptable, less-is-more approach.
Bright Neutrals In case you aren't a huge fan of white Christmas trees, but still want to try out a neutral strategy, consider an earth-toned design. On a timeless tree, set copper and metallic ornaments in flat matte or glossy finishes with natural decorations, such as pinecones and cinnamon sticks, for a hot, neutral look.
Dark Neutrals If you think of classic Christmas decoration, you are likely picturing the rustic simplicity of the Scandinavian style. To find this handmade appearance, use decorations made from organic materials such as salt dough, basket weave and embroidery in subdued colors.
Rustic Scandinavian Make a statement with your tree topper -- literally. Use wood letters in bright seasonal colours to easily create your own word or phrase. Glue the letters with each other, then replicate the finished product in your tree's branches or attach with a pipe cleaner into the uppermost bough. Adorn with big snowflake decorations or brightly-colored ting-ting for an enjoyable and one of a kind topper that's guaranteed to begin a conversation.
DIY Statement Topper Eliminate a step from the tree decorating pattern by blending garland and lights. Simply choose several distinct cloths in coordinating designs and colours, cut them into thin strips, then tie the strips on a series of Christmas lights until the chord is totally covered. Lace the lighted garland near your tree's back for a subtle impact or attach to branch tips for a bright and daring look.
Wrap Lights in Garland Donna Williams of Funky Junk Interiors decorated her tree with household items for a vintage look. The garland is made of strips of white bed sheets and burlap and accessorized with vintage license plates and rustic, wooden ornaments.
Vintage-Style Christmas Tree With Burlap Garland Live in an apartment or attic with holiday-decorating restrictions? (Boo!) Bring the bling to a tree in a secure way with battery-operated or plug candles, such as these stunning chandelier candelabras.
Lighting It Up When choosing the ideal decor for the Christmas tree, glean inspiration in the room in which it will endure. In a dining area, hanging antique silverware on the shrub is a chic, simple way to meet your holiday location settings.
Match the Theme of the Room Go all out with your favorite color this vacation season. Pick decorations in many different sizes and textures in colors of the same colour and organize on a white tree. Complete the look with holiday home decor and gift wrapping in the same colors.
