How Do I Pick a Color Theme for My White Christmas Tree?

A white Christmas tree supplies a light background to almost any decorating palette because in color concept white reflects a combination of all colours. Whether you would like to shake up your holiday decor with bold-colored tree trimmings or you prefer soft tones using complex panache, develop a colour theme for your own tree that works for your decorating mood and fashion. A artist’s color wheel will be able to help you select a colour palette that suits your own property.

Locate Color Clues

Look for shade decorating hints from your current upholstery, window treatments, wallpaper and accessories, such as toss pillows, area rugs and artwork. As an instance, if your upholstery includes vibrant hues, such as brilliant turquoise or an eye-popping orange and lime green, then choose at least one of these colours as the decorating palette for the white Christmas tree. Since repetition is a key to establishing a colour theme, incorporate decorations, bows, garlands and floral stems to tie the tree-trimming colours to your room’s colour scheme.

Generated from Pros

Visit special holiday occasions in your area that feature professionally decorated Christmas trees, such as holiday home tours and static tree screens, to gain inspiration for the white tree from your property. Some cities even have decorated tree competitions that you could take part in by voting for your favorite design at concert halls or event centers. As these trees are at a competition to win the best-dressed tree, they are often exquisitely decorated and offer multiple tree-trimming colour options to inspire you with a motif for your own snowy white Christmas tree.

Turn the Color Wheel

Look to the colour wheel to help you easily select a harmonious combination of colours to decorate your white Christmas tree. Create an analogous combination by choosing a couple of colors that are adjacent to one another on the colour wheel. Complementary palettes incorporate two colours directly across from one another, such as yellow and purple. A split complementary color scheme uses a foundation hue, such as purple, along with two colours, such as yellow-green and yellow-orange, on each side of purple’s complementary shade. You can also develop a colour theme by trimming your white tree in a number of colors and tints of the same colour, such as powder blue, navy blue and turquoise blue.

Develop a Mood

Pick the decorating palette for your white Christmas tree to convey the mood you desire. Tree embellishments in fire-engine red heats up the decorating temperature of a white tree with a revved-up, energy-packed ambiance. Or transform your plain white tree to your girl’s delight with cotton-candy pink decor combined with sparkly silver decorations. Get in touch with the outdoors by cutting your white tree in hues of earthy brown, grassy green and pumpkin orange. Black and silver decorations impart a dramatic, modern vibe against the tree white backdrop. White-on-white tree decorations offer a brand new, snowy texture.
