Traditional Christmas decor is making a huge comeback, and it’s not surprising as it’s very refined and elegant. Now it gets a new and fresh look, and there are many ways to pull it off with chic and style, here are some of them considering Christmas trees as the main decorations during the holidays.
Lights Only
Lights only are a great decor idea that is both modern and vintage. Take a lovely green Christmas tree and cover it with lots of lights, and you won’t have to worry about ornaments, lights will substitute everything becoming a gorgeous focal point in the space. If you want even more bling, hang some clear icicles or crystals that will reflect the light.
Covering the tree with modern lights without adding anything else is a lovely and shiny solution for Christmas.

Bows
Bows being traditional are all the rage right now, and you can see lots of bow Christmas trees at Pinterest. You can style a tree with bows in several ways, first of all, with small bows for a more classic look, add candle-shaped or usual lights, and if you want, some ribbons. The second way is trendier, it’s about placing a huge red bow on top the tree, and this is truly a fresh take on classics.
