What’s your Christmas decoration theme

[Pumpkittenspice]

Mine is traditional/classic 🥰

I flick a between scandi/Nordic, a more traditional red/burgundy and white, and a champagne/white/hint of gold theme depending on how I’m feeling each year!

Our tree is filled with mismatched baubles and decorations accumulated over years- decades now I suppose. Decorations picked up on holidays, trips and Christmas markets, stuff we inherited, stuff made by the kids when they were little, baubles that were gifts with the kid's names on. It's all a complete jolly shambles. Maybe we could call the theme nostalgia?

Living room cadbury purple and silver, family room main tree, red gold and green with some wood and some glass decorations in the mix

80s eclectic complete with tinsel and ceiling decorations. Completely mismatched baubles and lametta on the tree (and more tinsel) in the sitting room/tree.

Other trees have only rainbow baubles (rainbow tree) vintage decorations mostly from 30s and 40s on a white tree and handmade crochet decorations on a green tree.

Main room traditional so greens and reds and the front room is the kids room so they get to choose. Last year the tree was decorated with mr men characters 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Cloured lights, tinsel, tree decoration that we buy on holiday each year and the kids choose one each at christmas too. Nothing matches and I Love it. Most of MN would probably have an allergic reaction to it!

None but most of our decorations are Scandinavian.

Oh and we have coloured lantern lights outside too. None of the ice white!

I was asked this by a vair posh lady in John lewis one year when I went to get a new Tree topper .
I replied "imagine if an Elf threw up"
I am generally someone who likes things tasteful and minimalist but at Christmas it all goes out of the window. The carefully curated matching fake Christmas trees make me a bit sad, I can tell you where and when every one of our ornaments came from

I plan on getting new trees & decorations this year. Dark green/champagne for the living room. Haven't decided on a bedroom theme yet. Both kids bedroom trees are absolutely fine so they will keep their blue & pink trees/decorations.

Threads like this make me so happy. I read every one's and even though they are all completely different styles, I love the sound of all of them 😂

Mine is traditional red, gold, green with hints of an enchanted forest. Lots of our ornaments are woodland creatures, mushrooms, acorns, berries.

Dining room decorations are blue and white.

An older relative once looked at my minimalist white tree when I was pre-kids and witheringly said “…a ‘themed’ tree is a soulless tree.”

Now, after watching a family grow up and our tree is a crusty misshapen thing taken out of a crushed box in the loft for decades filled with gaudy shit things that my DC made 20 years ago at nursery and all manner of clashing stuff, I tend to agree. Our tree is the history of our family!

Variety of colourful decs collected over the years.
Have a child now, so he’s adding new ones, too!

Oh, I don't think it's soulless. If we had room for two trees I'd keep our ramshackle one and the second would be the carefully executed themed variety. I love the idea of the emerald green and champagne one described above - I'd totally nick that - edited to confirm I'd nick the idea, not your tree!

My theme is Christmas.

Grandsons are coming so the tree will be filled with wooden toys

Fairly minimalist. White, silver and neutrals with touches of other colours (especially pink, blue and green). With a neutral backdrop, you can throw in a variety of accessories and it still seems to work. I particularly like Oxfam’s felt tree decorations.

Very loud and over the top, our grandchildren will love it.

I think "eclectic" is the kind description and "mismatched" the accurate one! It's colourful and makes my young kids happy. My most favourite things are a cactus in a Santa hat that shakes a maraca while playing Feliz Navidad and a Percy pig holding a star tree topper

Lots of Central/Northern European decorations bought on our travels so quite folksy, wood, red and white gingham, felt etc.

Also quite traditional and as many nutcrackers as I can find!!

Tat and chaotic.

We are completely mismatched and chaotic. Nothing really fits in the space it gets put in, when in doubt, chuck tinsel on it. The tree is decorated in 3rds so I get a third, so does DH and DS. Do whatever you like to it.
Because DSs birthday is so close to Xmas, we put birthday bunting up on the tree as well.

This year trad red and gold. Last year it was honey bees! Yellow and white lights, gold balls, lots of bee and honeycomb beehive decorations and even had mini bee fairy lights for the table and gold beeswax candles!
I've done Scandinavian red and white, peacock/jewel colours, trad red and green, Nordic white.
Other than last year the 'themed' decorations are limited to wreath, table and mantle. The tree is always all sorts, sometimes with multi coloured lights, sometimes white and red. But last year was abroad so Ryder have any of my usual decs so went with something very different.
