There's a good chance you've been decorating Christmas trees annually since you were a kid. There are so many different approaches, and the way your family did it isn't necessarily the route you have to take.

The red-and-white stripes of a candy cane are as classic as it gets when it comes to Christmas patterns. And they’re so easy to incorporate into your tree. Of course, real candy canes (preferably wrapped) are a simple way to stay on theme, or you can use red-and-white striped ornaments to try this theme. If you’re going all out, you could use both!

Interior design trends come and go, but Christmas tree decorating is the true chance to express your creativity – whether you love a retro vibe, a maximalist display or a chic neutral colour palette.
