Original decorations join creative designs that impregnate shop windows, public roads, homes… with the festive Christmas spirit… In this context we can’t resist talking about Christmas styling.

some decotips for a Christmas decoration with a chill out touch, this time we focus on the leitmotiv par excellence of this holiday: the Christmas tree.
On this occasion we focus on the leitmotiv par excellence of this holiday: the Christmas tree.

Bottles, cans, books, egg cups and even cushions stacked in a pyramidal shape… can be transformed into a unique Christmas tree. Incredible as it may seem, almost any everyday object can be used for this purpose. The limits are set by the imagination which, as we all know, is capable of creating fantasies and worlds that escape reality. It is enough to open a book to check it…

These days we have collected 20 DIY Christmas trees that have caught our attention in different decoration blogs, either for their simplicity, their beauty or their personality. You may have already seen some of these designs, which we divide according to the materials used for their creation.

Christmas trees with boxes

Wooden Christmas trees

Christmas trees with sticks

To create them, a few simple branches combined with some details in a vase are enough. However, you can opt for extraordinary designs on the wall or floor with painted or natural sticks. In the latter case, lights and ornaments (we recommend not to use too many) play an essential role.

Christmas trees with shelves

Christmas trees from pallets

Pallets are not only suitable for interior decoration in general, but also offer a world of possibilities as Christmas trees in particular. Either by removing the boards and reassembling them in a pyramidal shape (flat on the wall or in ‘3D’ on a board on the floor), by leaving a triangular hole in its structure or by painting it.

Collage Christmas trees

These are conceptual trees, usually composed of objects of all kinds. One of the ones that has surprised us the most is this one published in Apartment Therapy that combines pictures, letters and small “useless, but beautiful” ornaments to make an artistic mural that reminds us of Gustav Klimt’s compositions, saving the differences, of course.
