A  super simple Christmas tree decorating idea – tie ribbons to the branches. Sure, yo tend to associate this is more trad decor, but it can work in a modern space too, as this gorgeous living room proves. Just stick to your colour scheme and don't go over board, oh and keep the ribbons long and almost unfinished looking for a more relaxed, rustic vibe.

2. Get a contemporary vibe with a white Christmas tree

And if you want a really contemporary look this Christmas, a white tree is the way to go. Simple, chic and not too in your face, they bring just the right amount of festiveness without interrupting the modern scheme you have going on. Decorate with subtle colors and add some gold too for a glamorous touch.

3. Go for a less is more approach

Again, if you aren't one for fuss in your decor take a minimalist approach to your tree decoration too. This simple tree just has a few decs really haphazardly almost thrown onto it, it shouldn't work but we think it looks great and totally works with the boho feel to this room.

4. Add something unexpected to your tree decor

Want some more unusual Christmas tree decorating ideas to copy this year? Look closely at this tree... can you see what's hanging from the bows? Teacups! So cute, and adds that kitsch feel that's been bang on trend in the last few years. We have seen a few usual 'baubles' this year – retro toys, mini photo frames, dried flowers, and we think they all add such a personal touch to a tree. Love it.

5. Go for a cool-toned decs to match a frosted tree

Cool-toned Christmas tree decorating schemes are bang on trend this season and look particularly stunning with an all-over frosted artificial tree. If your living room decor is on the cool side, even better.

This festive decorating scheme has been created with the John Lewis & Partners St. Petersburg Unlit Christmas Tree , which has got to be one of the most convincing artificial Christmas trees we have ever seen. To keep with the whole cool look, decorate with blues, whites and frosty pinks.

6. Create contrast in a dark room with gold tree decs

Love a dark, moody interior? Choosing gold baubles for your tree rather than co-ordinating dark-toned ones will make the room feel still more opulent – and, of course, they look amazing against the emerald green of a Christmas tree.

7. Have fun with kitsch Christmas decorations

Kitsch is this season's biggest alternative Christmas tree decorating trend, so why not swap traditional baubles for something a bit more colorful and light-hearted, because who wouldn't want a glittering balloon dog hanging from their tree? The kids will love this look too.

8. Go all out on colour with rainbow decorations

While we may encourage you to pick a co-ordinated color scheme for an elegant tree, there are no hard and fast rules that state you have to do what we say. In fact, you can go to town, because the rainbow look for Christmas trees is a big trend this year.

9. Add interest to the bottom of the tree

Keep the bottom of your tree from looking bare (that is, before all the presents are there) by decorating it with string lights and ornaments. This tree has been livened up with lights and light-up stars, but you could surround the bottom of your tree with giant paper baubles too.

10. Go for a minimalist Scandi look

Prefer a Scandi decorating scheme? The key is just to keep it simple, pick out a few decorations, stick to a colour scheme and just let the greenery be the focus. Ikea is always our go to for subtle, Nordic-style decs, plus they are really affordable too.

11. Create a dreamy (new) Nordic decorating scheme

The Scandi trend for Christmas tree decorating is in full swing; want yours to be the very latest in Scandi style? Go new Nordic (yup, it's a new twist – still Scandi, but darker). Decorate your tree sparingly with a single colour for a really striking look.

12. Let the lights do the talking

How about leaving the baubles in the loft this year and just go to town on the lights when it comes it's decorating your Christmas tree? We love how these Lighs4fun stars look haphazardly throw over this tree. They have a really discreet battery pack that you can just tuck in among the foliage.

13. You can't go wrong with tartan tree decs

If you're after a traditional, cosy tree decorating scheme, take inspiration from this gorgeous living room, complete with deer-shaped and tartan tree decs.  And if you're feeling crafty, you could even make your own – got an old checked shirt that's doing nothing? Get your needle and thread ready.

14. Mix red and blue for a contemporary twist

Want an instant update on classic red Christmas tree decorating ideas? Mix up your traditional red baubles with cool blue-hued ones, and your tree will instantly look that little bit more exciting and contemporary.
