The days grow dark and the nights grow long. The smell of pine needles and the lambent glow of lights enrich the air. Christmas is coming and it’s time to get the tree out of the loft. From the bustle of hosting and entertaining, to quiet, reflective quality time with those nearest and dearest, Wedgwood embraces every special festive moment.

Let us help you get inspired you this festive season with elegant Christmas tree decorating ideas. From base to topper, we’ll run the rule over the Christmas tree, taking in colour schemes, decorations and other ways to turn our tree into a talking point when the tinsel comes out.

At Wedgwood, we are famous for our iconic blue and white Jasper decorations, which add a dash of luxury to any tree. But of course we appreciate the importance of a traditional Christmas tree colour scheme: red, gold, silver and snowy white. The trick really is to ensure that colouring remains complementary and – within reason – limited. Any more than three or four colours on any one tree is a surefire way to create an aesthetic that clashes and catches the eye for all the wrong reasons.

Another good Christmas tree decorating idea is to select an overall theme that can run through all your festive décor. This could be around a colour or aesthetic or even based around a particular Christmas style you used before.
