It’s a remarkable sight when your Christmas tree, ornaments, and lights come together, but coordinating your design can take some effort. Here’s a guide to help you choose between white or colored Christmas lights for your tree and what type of decorations work best with each.

How To Decorate a Christmas Tree With White vs. Colored Lights

White Christmas lights are well-loved for their warm, candle-like glow. Their neutral color looks elegant on its own and versatile enough to match any Christmas light theme. Whether you want to decorate with a single-hue palette or a colorful design, here are some unique clear Christmas lights ideas:

Add Lights

String your lights or plug your pre-lit tree into a nearby power outlet. Check for damaged bulbs or faulty wiring and replace them following the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Hang Tree Décor

Metallic ornaments go well with white Christmas lights as they give a subtle sparkle when they catch the light. You can also opt for a simpler look with classic ornaments, ribbons, and a topper in monochromatic shades.

Customize

You can also add DIY decorations such as cranberry garlands and hand-cut paper snowflakes to your tree for a personal touch. Other options are small trinkets from your travels or small photographs of you and your loved ones.

How to Decorate White Lights for Christmas Trees

Color Christmas lights give your tree a festive appearance with minimal effort. However, it can get intimidating when pairing them with other décor. Below is a step-by-step guide to a Christmas tree decorating idea with colored lights:

Choose Base Colors

Pick three to four base colors for your design. Even better if some of your Christmas tree decorations complement the light colors. Try going for a bright candy-themed tree, rainbow tree, or a classic red-and-green theme with a twist. Plenty of designs work well with multicolored lights, so don’t be afraid to get creative and express yourself.

Hang Ornaments

After choosing your color palette, mix and match your ornament sets. Combine pieces with different shapes, sizes, materials, and textures for visual interest.

Check Your Design

Take a step back and look at your decorated Christmas tree. Remove some ornaments if it seems overcrowded or swap some pieces for other colors to balance out the theme.

Balsam Hill™ is proud to unveil the latest in Christmas tree design: our state-of-the-art Flip Tree™ technology. This unique patented design is protected by two issued US Patents (#8,062,718 and #8,993,077) and is exclusive to Balsam Hill. With this innovation, we have eliminated the need to lift heavy sections of the artificial Christmas tree during assembly and storage. Homeowners can simply roll in the tree out of the box on its wheeled base, lock it securely into place, flip the bottom section up, and install the lightweight tree top. Flip Trees up to 7.5’ generally come in just two sections, so only the tree top needs to be lifted. Larger Flip Trees may have two top sections. In just a few easy steps, you can assemble a grand holiday display.Flip Tree Setup Video: Watch how easy it is to assemble your new Balsam Hill Flip Tree.

The innovative design of this Instant Evergreen Tree makes setup easy and fast. Featuring unique memory wire branches that automatically fan out into place as you set up your tree, our Instant Evergreen trees are ready in minutes. This tree also features our Easy Plug® technology, which means the light strings automatically connect through the trunk of the tree during setup - the only light string you need to touch for a beautifully lit tree is the one you plug into the wall. This truly instant tree will save you valuable time and effort compared to setting up and fluffing a traditional artificial tree.Setup Video for Instant Evergreen Trees: Watch how easy it is to set up your new Balsam Hill Instant Evergreen Tree.
