Anchor your Christmas theme.
If you're looking to change things up this year, consider a coastal-themed Christmas tree. Keep reading for decor and color inspo!
1. Swap Out Northern Stars for Starfish
Add starfish to your tree instead of Northern star ornaments to nod to coastal themes. You can even use a starfish as a makeshift tree topper.
Mix seashell ornaments amongst Christmas ball ornaments for a subtle coastal edge. Choose from ornaments made from real seashells or sculpted glass versions for an elevated look.
You can't go wrong with a white Christmas tree to anchor your coastal theme. The light and airy look is perfect for coastal-inspired rooms that lean more toward bright white and beige color palettes.
Decorate your Christmas tree with sea creature ornaments or coral ornaments for a vibrant display. You can also add mermaid ornaments if you want more of a mystical feel.
Ocean blues and sandy beige or tans are the hallmarks of a coastal palette, which also makes them ideal colors for a coastal Christmas tree. We recommend wrapping your tree in tan ribbon and decorating with blue ornaments for a quick yet stunning transformation.
Combine a frosted Christmas tree with blue ornaments and blue pick decorations for a treescape that can go in a coastal-style room or any other space with ease. This is the perfect combo if you prefer coastal color schemes over themed ornaments.
Use tabletop trees made of stacked seashells, sea glass, or driftwood to decorate shelves, kitchen counters, or entryway tables. Extra points if they light up!
Transform your Christmas tree with aqua blue and silver ornaments. This combo creates a stunning display that resembles crystal blue waters and the silver glow of the sun reflecting off the water.
Make a bold statement with a blue, seafoam, or teal Christmas tree. Pair them with white ornaments for the best results.
Go all out with a 'catch of the day'–themed Christmas tree. For this look, you'll need faux fish netting, starfish, seashells, driftwood, and blue ornaments with knotted rope covers.
Add subtle coastal flair to your tree with striped ribbon or ornaments. Opt for white and black or white and navy blue stripes to connect to traditional sailor uniforms and nautical patterns.
Decorate white or frosted Christmas trees with white ornaments for a bright yet minimalist approach to coastal style. If you have a traditional green Christmas tree, you can still replicate this look by using white ornaments to lighten up the overall appearance.
