When it comes to decorating your Christmas Tree, you have an entire rainbow full of colours to choose from; this is both a blessing and a curse, as while it gives you much more creative freedom, it’s also much harder to decide upon which precise colour scheme to go for. But an awesome trend that’s been on the rise in recent years, is the purple Christmas Tree.
It’s perfect! Purple is traditionally a regal colour, which gives your tree an aura of class and importance while not looking too flashy or tacky. So how do you achieve this royal look? Well here at Decoration Buzz, we’re going to go over some of the best items on the market that will help you to construct the perfect purple Christmas tree.
Artificial Tree?
While it’s still possible to achieve a fantastic looking tree by using a genuine pine tree, more and more people have been opting to use artificial trees in recent years. Of course, genuine tree’s give a more eclectic or traditional feel, and they can even fill your home with a lovely lingering scent…but, they do have their downsides. They shed their needles which can be a pain to clean up, they’re not as adaptable to all room sizes (mostly when it comes to height), and you can only use them once.
Whereas artificial trees don’t shed, and they can last for years upon years as long as you keep them in good condition. Although they don’t give off a rich natural aroma, many stores nowadays sell spray-on scents for your tree or plug in air fresheners which have the same affect. One of the biggest benefits of artificial trees is that they come in a variety of colours, including purple. So, if you’re really committing to the purple colour scheme, artificial trees are the way to go.
Here are some of our top picks for trees, made to suit all sizes and budgets:
NCDMI Purple Christmas Tree
This tree is definitely meant to be the centrepiece of your Christmas display. It’s full and plump, and it’s colouring is gorgeous. It’s pretty pricy but well worth the investment.
Purple Tinsel Twist Tree
This neat little tree comes pre-decorated with plenty of lights and tinsel. If your decoration skills aren’t up to scratch and you prefer someone else to do the heavy lifting, this tree is right up your alley.
Wellwood Tinsel Tree
Similar to the previous tree, this slightly smaller tree is perfect for those too busy to decorate one themselves, or someone who doesn’t have too much available space.
Vickerman Purple Christmas Tree
Going back to our slightly bigger trees, this one is tall and imposing while not being too girthy, wide, and awkward; perfect for a corner piece or dining room. Although, again, the price is quite high.
Prettybuy Christmas Tree
Finally, we have this cute 3ft tree which is more suited to be placed in a kid’s room so they can have a little tree for themselves; and for such a good price, it’s worth buying just for the novelty of it.
Lights and other Ornaments
When it comes to lights, it’s completely up to you; any style or colour generally looks pretty good on a purple tree. Although some do look better than others.
White and blue lights are pretty popular choices for purple trees; they blend so well with the overall aesthetic. As for colours you should maybe avoid, deep reds and greens are probably the only ones that most people wouldn’t recommend for a purple tree.
Because almost all type of lights can be used, it should be pretty easy to just do a quick google search or look up on amazon to find exactly heat you’re looking for. Or you can take a trip to your local department store.
As for baubles and other decorations such as tinsel, it’s the same idea. Although if you want some specific recommendations for everything we’ve mentioned, we’ve got you covered:
