Christmas Decor | The Modern Way

When decorating your modern Christmas living room, you don't have to go over the top to get that Christmassy feel, just add a tree and some decorations!

 Metalics are very trendy in the decor world right now, and gold has always been a Christmas mainstay, so we love this updated twist that incorporates festivity and glam. Modern decor doesn't have to be minimalist and stark. This glam wooden diamond ornament from A Beautiful Mess is an upgraded, fun DIY that will take your tree into the new year.

Retire your pine wreath and pick a different evergreen this year. This chic wreath from Treasures and Travels uses eucalyptus and dried berries to create a toned-down take on a holiday classic. Think simple and elegant instead of over the top. We love how understated (yet beautiful) this wreath is - and you can make it in an afternoon.

While a large, statement-worthy Christmas tree is a necessity, why not add a few charming miniature trees to your mantel and tables? We love these quaint trees from Say Yes made from pine scraps and tree stumps. Gather a few branches from your Christmas tree, a couple of birch stumps and a glue gun, and you'll have a charming display for any corner of your home.
