White metallic style
The purity of winter nature is personified by the shine of icy silver and the whiteness of snow. And this is more important than the color of the coming year. The harmony of monocolor silver ribbon, stylish balls and tinsel will harmoniously emphasize the fluffy needles of the green beauty. A translucent large bow attached to the top of the tree will add special chic to the decor.
If desired, you can dilute the main metallic color with fashionable white accents. For example, hang animal figures painted with acrylic paint. Snow-white volumetric balls or letters cut out of foam plastic also look impressive. Golden shades have not gone out of fashion and remain relevant. If desired, the Christmas tree decor can be made warmer by adding orange or lemon notes.
Continuing the metal theme and to attract good luck into the house, you can place a horseshoe on the Christmas tree paws, but be sure to have its edges pointing upward. Make the base from thick cardboard, apply glitter or a layer of foil to the surface.
