"[Eileen Kathryn] Boyd adds texture to her Christmas tree by encircling it with magenta ribbon, placing spray-painted silver leaves within the greens, and hanging ornaments of various sizes. 'If a fancy, stylish tree is what you desire,' she advises, 'add continuity with color.' "

"Instead of permanently gluing wallpaper to the back of her secretary desk, [Eileen Kathryn] Boyd applied it to a fitted piece of poster board and then simply slid the poster board into place. 'It's a great layering [technique] and helps to create a landscape,' she says."

"Because the homeowner decided she wanted to use pink to make a statement on her tree, she topped it with a giant, playful pink bow. An array of ornaments—many pink—in different sizes mix with white doves to create visual interest."

"Attaching names to baubles and putting them in bowls rather than standing them upright is a quirky way to do place settings. Layer mismatched crockery - it looks sweeter than using a matching set."
" 'I’m not a big fan of red at Christmas,' [homeowner/designer Tanya Capello] says. 'My decorations tend more toward green, white, and silver, with natural elements that include eucalyptus, cedar, and other greens mixed throughout our home.' A pairing of chargers from Pottery Barn with vintage Wedgwood china marries casual and formal."

"A soft, gray-blue secretary from Sweden was one of Ellisiv’s father’s Scandinavian finds, and McBrearty built the room’s color scheme around it. The blue headboard fabric is from Michael S Smith and the antique Swedish desk chair is upholstered in Duralee’s 'Chinchilla.' "

"For the last few years, I have smothered my tree in multicoloured woollen pompoms. I make mine myself, but the ones pictured are from Etsy."
Pom Pom Tree by Jennifer Lister, art director at House and Garden.
"Decorate your Christmas tree with long, cascading tendrils of colorful ribbon, rickrack, and pom-pom fringe. Search the remnants section of a fabric-and-trim store for good deals on pieces that are at the end of a roll or odd-sized, and collect throughout the year. Attach ribbon directly to an embroidery hoop and then simply slide over the top of your tree."

"Hang a disco ball from the ceiling to float above the Christmas tree. A flocked tree needs a festive punch, so it can’t get away with just a run-of-the-mill star. The bow, with its long ribbon tendrils, adds the real wow factor."
Photography by Monica Buck.
"Just remember that if you use an urn with a real tree, you will likely have to line it with loads of sturdy plastic so it doesn’t leak. You will also have to secure the base with rocks and such. It's a bit of a mess to clean up after the holidays, but it sure looks pretty. The artificial tree shown above is ideal as it can pop into the urn — no fuss."

"Take a holiday design cue from decorating editor Lindsey Ellis Beatty and trim a fabulously festive tree based on the colors of your own room, not Santa's coat. 'This year, I let the white walls direct my motif. I found a tree that looks like it's been dusted with fresh snow.' To coordinate with the peachy pink curtains (Island Ikat by China Seas; quadrillefabrics.com), she used candy-colored ornaments and garlands that look like jewelry. In lieu of a traditional skirt or stand, the tree is placed in a sculptural garden urn."

"Choose simple round ornaments in glossy peach and aqua that stand out just enough from the white branches. 'Any shade darker than pastel would look too harsh,' says Lindsey. And try a glitzy garland such as this metallic beaded variety that coordinates with all the other sherbet shades in the room. What a statement piece!"

"With a tree like this, red-and-green wrapping just wouldn't do. Give your gifts decor-worthy style with patterned papers, wide satin ribbons, and clever tie-ons."

"When it comes to gift-wrapping, think outside the box. The combination of red, blue and pink feels festive and offers a fresh take on traditional Christmas hues. 'I always love to see a mix of unexpected colors, especially for Noel,' says Nicola."

"Many of us love to decorate with blue, so why not incorporate it into a holiday palette? 'The gorgeous shade of this wallpaper (Jute Grasscloth in Dungaree by Twenty2; twenty2.net) inspired this shimmery tree,' says Lindsey. 'To offset the rich colors with plenty of sparkle, I piled on the silver—glass ornaments, disco ball-esque garlands, and a quirky topper.' "

"It’s a testament to Catherine’s dynamic sensibility that she calls her office, outfitted with chartreuse lacquered walls and jolts of bright green, her 'nirvana place.”'A round wall of windows—each bearing a festive wreath—and a coffered ceiling provide the room with architectural drama."
