A great tree has a theme that ties all the decorations together. Before choosing ornaments and decorating your tree, think about what you want the final product to look like. Your theme could be a hobby, an aspect of the holiday that you enjoy most, your favorite ornament, an aesthetic style, or an overall color scheme. Once you decide, you can find decorations that fit the central theme.

• For example, a Christmas tree theme could be “rustic cheer,” “music,” “art deco tree,” or “winter wonderland.”
• Even if your theme isn’t based on a color scheme, make sure you have one. Your tree will look more polished if it has a set palette. Pick the main color, and then a couple of secondary colors to complement it.
• You could pick a neutral scheme with lots of classic white, silver, and gold. For a pop of color, try adding some blue, green, or red to the mix.
• If you’re not sure how your theme will tie together, create a mood board that has everything you want to use. You can get a better idea of what your tree will look like and what you’ll need to pull the design off.
