MERRY + MAXIMALIST CHRISTMAS TREE THEME
Gorgeous Christmas Tree Theme decorating themes take the guess work out of trying to dress your Christmas tree this year.
Of course, you may want to decorate your tree with existing Christmas tree decorations and we have at least one tree at home which is a bit more whimsical and haphazard and definitely without a Christmas Tree theme! Sometimes though, it’s lovely to have a more cohesive look to your decorating and to have a more formal theme for your tree.
I have linked the Christmas decorations and the Christmas trees themselves. However, don’t feel the need to buy all new Christmas decor – you can probably use some that you already have. The tips given for each them will give you an idea of the kinds of Christmas decorations to use to create each theme.

merry and maximalist!
This look makes a grand statement with a big focus on layering and more layering! Lots of garland and ribbons tied to the branches, dried oranges, colourful baubles and sentimental ornaments.
Traditional Victorian Pine Pre-lit Christmas Tree with lots of branches for decorating!
Hammered Brass Christmas Tree Skirt reflects both Christmas Lights and Firelight.
Tip for this Christmas Tree Theme: More is definitely more! Use lots of colour but stick to similar tones and avoid it looking chaotic with repeated elements – add lots of bead garland, orange slices and ribbon bows.

A lovely holiday activity is drying Orange Slices in the oven, worth it for the scent alone! Have a look at how I dried mine using the Airfryer! You can then add lovely little brass hooks to them. I bought mine from Amazon here. If you are pressed for time, you can of course buy Orange Slices which have been already dried.
I also love these beautifully embroidered Orange Slice Decorations.
Gold Nutcracker Articulated Figures add the whimsy!
The Mince Pie Decorations remind me of Christmas baking with my Mum as a child, and cutting out little shapes like this for the top. They are probably my favourite Christmas decoration of all time! I also love these which have a bit more sparkle!
I’m loving these Heritage Onion Cotton Mache Baubles too.
Dark Wood Bead Garlands are quite hard to find – these add a traditional look. They do have tassels on the ends which you can leave but I would probably cut them off, they are a good price in any case.
You can buy pre-made Velvet Ribbon Bows (see this Blog post!) These lush Red Velvet Bows would look lovely. A cheaper option is to just tie velvet ribbon on the ends of branches, I love the Wine Red Ribbon pictured which also comes in a lovely Green Option.
The Nutcracker Cloche is the perfect maximalist decoration!
Embellished hanging Star Decorations with gold and pearl beadwork.
Gorgeous Glass Bell with velvet ribbon and glitter.
The sweetest hanging F&M mini hamper.
Darling Christmas Carousel Ornament.
Green Marbled Glass Baubles would look amazing on this maximalist tree!
