There are two kinds of Christmas trees: those with matching ornaments in two colors—and those where every ornament tells a story. If you prefer the latter, you’ve come to the right place. Here, it’s all about building a Christmas collection with personality, piece by piece, year after year.
Start with what you love
Forget the rules about color themes. The most charming Christmas tree is the one where you can point to every ornament and tell where it came from. Start with motifs that mean something to you—animals, food, travel, humor. Our Christmas collection has everything from classic glass ornaments to hand-painted porcelain figurines.
Hand-painted ornaments
Mass-produced Christmas ornaments are nice, but there’s something special about an ornament that’s hand-painted. Each piece is a little different—the colors vary, the facial expressions are unique. That means your collection will never look like your neighbor’s. Check out our ornaments from brands like Cody Foster and Bloomingville.
Mix materials
A Christmas tree with only glass ornaments can look monotonous. Try mixing it up:
- Glass: Classic Christmas ornaments with shine and depth
- Porcelain and ceramics: Figurines with weight and detail
- Felt and fabric: Soft ornaments that add contrast
- Metal: Brass bells and stars that catch the light
The variety of materials adds depth to the tree and makes it more interesting to look at.
Christmas decorations beyond the tree
Christmas decorations don’t have to be limited to the tree. Place a couple of candlesticks with red or green candles on the dining table. Arrange a collection of porcelain figurines on a shelf to create a Christmas scene. Hang ornaments in the window with a thin string—it doesn’t take a Christmas tree to look festive.
Build your collection over time
The best approach to Christmas decorations is to add a few new pieces each year. Buy what you fall in love with now, and save it for December. Over time, you’ll build a collection that’s entirely your own—with memories from each year tied to the individual ornaments.
