Bows are Christmas classics, and as now we see the rise of classic and traditional holiday decor, bows are on top. It’s clear how to pull off such traditional decor adding red bows here and there but if you want a fresh and modern look for your Christmas spaces, here are some ways to do that and achieve a viral look.

Bow Tree Decor

The easiest way to style a Christmas tree to make it look classy is to add little ribbon bows with ornaments or instead of them. Decorate the tree with lights and choose ribbon that contrasts the color of the tree, then make some bows and hang. To make your tree really viral, go for large and even oversized bows, bow tree toppers and no other decor, except for lights. Advantages? No money spent on lots of ornaments, it’s a very budget-friendly idea. Making a couple of bows won’t take much time either and you can do it fast.
