Double the trees, double the Christmas spirit. This season, we're predicting that "twin trees" will be the trend that will bump your holiday decor up a step on the chic scale. Holiday decor is something that should be timeless (I've pulled the same boxes of trusted decor out of the attic for years now), yet still add some festive style to our homes. Doubling up on your decorative trees is a Christmas decorating idea that promises both longevity and aesthetics this holiday season.
Twin trees have taken over our social media feeds with a fireplace framing look (like this one from Instagram) being a personal favorite way to style. Livingetc's editor, Hugh Metcalf, has tried out this trend using real Christmas trees, and the result is a fabulously festive look. "Including more than one tree in a Christmas decorating scheme is like creating a little forest, which adds to the magic of the season," says Hugh. As the saying goes: The more the merrier. Hugh recommends "play with varying heights, just as you would when styling a shelf. I like the idea of using a smaller one next to a larger one — that way they can sit comfortably in a corner rather than needing a symmetrical layout."
