Alternative Christmas Trees


When it comes to Christmas tree decorating ideas, anything goes. From classic to cool and unusual, distinctive decorating ideas for your Christmas tree, perfect for even the  smallest of spaces.


Fake Snow Covered Tree
A simple combination of lights, pine cones, robins and - most importantly - fake snow Starting with the lights - very small LEDs look prettiest - we then mist the tree with water before liberally applying the fake snow. Last come the pine cones and the robins.


Stepladder Tree
Lovely vintage ladder, strung with mouth-blown glass decorations. This "tree" is definitely a break from tradition, but in a large kitchen, surrounded by the general hubbub of Christmas cooking, it work beautifully. It could also look good against quite a plain minimalist background.


Marbled Bauble Tree
Elegant and crafted. The uniformity of using just one type of bauble, but covering them in an unpredictable pattern that invites closer examination. Hand-marbled unglazed ceramic baubles, which have a lovely weight and tactility.



Pom Pom Tree
Colour, texture and craft. Tree with multicoloured woollen pompoms.



Miniature Trees
Lovely mantel-top decoration, but can also adorn a dining table or shelf. Hang lots of white paper decorations from the ceiling, and vignettes such as this one running along window sills and mantelpieces.
Naturalistic, cosy and characterful schemes - old-fashioned decoration, charming mismatches and detailed storytelling vignettes - rather than statement styles, be charmed by a nativity set than by a bold bauble.
