How To Decorate a Flocked Christmas Tree

Why Choose a Faux Flocked Tree?

One of the main reasons to opt for a faux flocked tree is its convenience and mess-free nature.

Unlike real trees that shed needles, a flocked tree maintains its snowy look throughout the holiday season.

Plus, it’s an excellent choice for those with allergies.

Like I said earlier, flocked trees are a little messy but nothing a quick vacuuming won’t take care of!

Christmas Tree Ideas

Whether you are decorating a real or a faux tree, be sure to take the following into consideration.

Pre-Lit Tree or Not: The First Decision

Before you begin decorating, determine whether your flocked tree is pre-lit (this flocked tree comes in different sizes). If it’s not, the first step is to add lights. Clear warm lights are a great choice for creating a cozy atmosphere, complementing the snowy appearance of the tree.

Update: My tree is back in stock on Amazon and this 6.5′ flocked tree is gorgeous and 60% off! It’s a little shorter than mine but if you need a smaller tree, don’t snooze on this one!

These trees below are VERY similar to mine with great reviews.

Purchase This Tree Here

The best way to start, in my opinion is to invest in a pre-lit flocked tree like this one. When you purchase a faux tree (like mine above), you have the option to get a slim tree, a larger or smaller tree depending on the location of where the tree will be setup. There are several different sizes available online and I’ve rounded up my favorites from Amazon here on my storefont.

Christmas Tree Decorating Ideas

What decorations look best on a flocked Christmas tree?

I have decorated several flocked trees over the years and I personally love pops of red decorations for a fun traditional look as well as light soft colored decorations to enhance a calm and elegant theme.

There are many different ways to decorate a beautiful Christmas tree.

One of the first things to consider is do you have enough decorations from previous years in your desired color scheme and is there a budget for additional Christmas ornaments.

Last year I purchased a handful of newer ornaments along with these adorable owls from Pottery Barn.

Decorating with Metallic Ornaments

To create a stunning winter wonderland, consider using metallic ornaments. These shiny accents capture and reflect the warm glow of your lights, adding an extra layer of magic to your tree.

Placement Strategy

Begin by placing larger metallic ornaments inside the tree to create depth and dimension. Distribute them evenly for balance. These ornaments are often the focal points of your tree.

Twig Garland or Ribbon 

To enhance the rustic charm of your winter wonderland, I introduced twig garland. The earthy brown texture of the garland contrasts beautifully with the glitter and metallic ornaments, creating a captivating snowy look.

If you are looking for a more elegant look, trying using plaid ribbon or a solid ribbon as garland. This is an affordable way to elevate your Christmas tree on a budget!

Smaller Ornaments and White Decorations

Next, add smaller metallic ornaments to the branches, filling in any gaps and creating a cohesive look. White ornaments can also be strategically placed to complement the snowy theme.

Top Of The Tree

The top of the tree does not need to be a traditional star! Try something unique like I did using beautiful glitter tree picks placed strategically around the top of the tree with hanging door bells to create a pretty tree topper. 

Tree Skirt & Surrounding Decorations

Start with the basics. Select a tree skirt that complements your theme and adds a finishing touch to the tree’s base. Some also opt for a tree collar, which offers a sleek and modern look.

I’ve linked several of the tree ornaments and decorations here on my Amazon Storefront.

When picking a color scheme for your tree, consider the Christmas decoration on surrounding areas like a fireplace mantel, coffee table or sofa.

To create a cohesive look, carry out the same color scheme on the tree through out the room.

What Colors Look Good on a Frosted or Flocked Tree?

Here are the most popular flocked Christmas tree color schemes:

1. Red and Metallic Flocked Christmas Tree

While our focus here is on a rustic, white, and gold theme, it’s worth mentioning other popular color schemes. Red and black plaid, for instance, creates a cozy and traditional feel.

4. Owls and Pinecones Flocked Christmas Tree

Our frosted flocked Christmas tree in our entryway several years back featured the same owls as above and you will notice it was the only ornaments (with pinecones) on the tree!

5. Coastal Flocked Christmas Tree

Our coastal Christmas tree is one of my favorite trees using burlap, beach themed ornaments and rope style garland.

6. Simple Red & Santa Hat Flocked Christmas Tree

This simple white flocked Christmas tree consists of just red berry pics, red ribbon and a red santa hat. Easy peasy!

Cleanup and Maintenance

Flocked trees are undeniably beautiful, but they can be messy. Be prepared to vacuum regularly to keep your space tidy throughout the holiday season.

A recent trend is the Bohemian flocked Christmas tree style and while I haven’t styled a tree yet sporting a boho look, I think the design is beautiful! 

Decorating a flocked Christmas tree is a great way to bring the magic of a winter wonderland into your home.

Whether you opt for a rustic, white, and gold theme or explore other color schemes, the result will be a beautiful flocked Christmas tree that adds a touch of enchantment to your holiday season.

So, get ready to create a gorgeous tree and embrace the beauty of the holiday season!
