minimalist decorations

Give your tree a unified, modern style by hanging just one type of decoration (like ribbons or lights) or choosing different decorations in a single color.
Hang different kinds of decorations in one specific color, such as red tree lights, red balls and red tinsel. Varying the shape and size of your ornaments while sticking with one solid color creates a dramatic overall look.

Colorful paper can be turned into origami ornaments and decorative garlands. Don’t think you’re up to origami? Fold and cut paper into snowflakes like you did in elementary school. Poke an opened paper clip through one snowflake point and hang on your tree.

Buy good-quality ribbon and tie bows on your tree branches. Make smaller bows on upper branches and bigger bows on lower branches. Choose ribbon in a traditional red or white, a shiny metallic for extra sparkle or even raffia for a rustic look.
