How to decorate a Christmas tree {black + red}

Today I am sharing how we decorate our tree and how we achieve a clustered ornament look. Last year our Christmas tree in our family room was a neutral elegant flocked tree decorated with gorgeous white owls and rustic grapevine garland. I found the wooden italian pinocchio’s at HomeGoods and immediately thought they would look fabulous on the tree. I used two types of garland, a beaded red and a candy cane theme. I always stuff the largest ornaments inside the tree, many times as fillers. red + black ornaments/ Christmas signs/wooden Pinocchio/red beaded + candy cane garland – HomeGoods

I usually try to start with a color or theme and then go from there when scouring the house for ornaments and decor. This year, I went in the complete opposite direction creating a fun colorful nostalgic Christmas tree and while it’s a big change from last year, I think it’s quiet charming ;).

I will be sharing the entire room in our upcoming Christmas home tour.
