Why Velvet?

It should come as no surprise that velvet has been a popular fabric for centuries now.

Velvet’s texture and surface are beautiful in their ability to refract light making any shade appear more shaded and dimensional in its tone.

And once you add velvet into your Christmas tree decoration, it is more than just color, it adds dimension to the entire setup deeper and warmer.

The use of velvet embellishments gives a unique touch to the decor especially when combined with metallics and other antique accents.

The variegated textures add depth to the tree which cannot be achieved with basic materials. And with so many shades of fabric to pick from it is easy to bring about a conventional reds and greens, or a more subdued palette.

Velvet Ribbon Decorating: I Can’t Make a Tree Without This

There are endless possibilities of using velvet when I apply ribbon to any decor. Velvet ribbons may be used in twist wraps around the tree to create soft and flowing movements.

Thick and wide ribbons adorned in Christmas colors such as deep green, deep red, or even bold jewel tone seas are just some of the ribbons you could use.

One of the most enjoyable things that you can do when decorating Christmas trees is using relevant ribbons.

The ribbons could be long enough to wrap around the top of the tree and cascade down to the bottom or use smaller ribbons to wrap around layers of the tree to achieve the desired look.

Different striped ribbons can be used to give the tree depth and add to its beauty. Using ribbons to decorate trees lets me incorporate various colors and textures into the design without overpowering the other decorations.

Traditional Christmas Tree with a Touch of Class

The use of velvet to trim the tree adds a much-needed touch of class, which is go well with Christmas decor.

Velvets can enhance the charm of classic Christmas items like old decorations and artificial pinecones, or even unique ornaments.

The key is to use the softness of velvet with these classic details to achieve a stylish and rustic gorgeous look.

For example, you may choose to combine classic deep green velvet ribbon with classic red glass ornaments or even gold accents for a more traditional look.

On the contrary, If vintage designs are what you have in mind, such combinations of velvet with tin or mercury glass ornaments and decorations can mesh up well and look snug yet sophisticated at the same time.

The use of vintage elements somehow balances the richness of velvet which enables the fabric to be warm instead of looking grand in a strange manner.

Velvet Contrasting with Modern Design Patterns

For those with contemporary thinking leanings, velvet cannot work wonders all by itself.

The secret here is to keep the color scheme moderately toned. Rather than the customary red and green combination, a variety of velvet shades like dusty mauve, navy blue or gray could be explored.

Such colors are quite contemporary and the warmth with the allowance of the velvet still feels plush.

As for the decor, I prefer a minimalist approach. Perhaps only one type of velvet ribbon of a single color, together with harmonizing ornaments, or perhaps decoration in one shade where the velvet stands out.

And of course contemporary designs like matte-finish ornaments or geometric shapes are very much in the game.

The contemporary look velvet trees portray is the cut of the fabric which gives the design style, minimalist.

Velvet Ornaments – The Perfect Christmas Tree Decoration

Another exciting option to incorporate velvet into your Christmas tree decor is using ornaments of any kind. Baubles, stars and even animal carrot shaped ornaments wrapped in fine pleat are widely available and they can more or less bring fun and class. Velvet ornaments also look great with classic green or with white flocked tree branches as they add texture and color to the overall look of the tree.
One of the techniques that works quite well for me is using velvet ribbons to cover the color of ornaments attached to the tree. It helps to maintain a certain consistency during decoration without being too far white.

There are however, situations when velvet ornaments look great even when they are seemingly out of place.

For instance, when matched with gold decorations, burgundy velvet pieces do wonders as they bring warmth which complements the richness of the colors in a perfect manner which gets even better for the holidays.

Making Use of Velvet in Ways That Are Not So Common

Using velvet in your tree decorating has no restrictions; you can in fact get very creative, such as by adding it to the tree skirt, or gifting some of your gifts wrapped in velvet fabric.

This not only unifies the appearance but also gives a feeling of a beautifully staged environment. As an added feature, it appears that you can construct tiny bows or garlands out of velvet fabric and hang them around the tree. These small features assist in adding some color and getting more creative on the smaller details of the tree.

There are so many options available to play with velvet and be done with the tree in the most ideal way for the festival.

Thanksgiving Decorating With Velvet

As Christmastime approaches, those who celebrate begin decorating their homes for the Holy Day.

Some people may choose to decorate their trees the same way they have for generations, while others may wish to branch out and try something new.

One thing is certain, regardless of your ideal style, you can never go wrong if you select velvet accents. Velvet flat out looks good no matter where you use it – on natural, rustic decorations, or on something shiny, elegant, and sophisticated.

In my opinion, when deciding how much velvet to add to your tree decor, focus first on the amount of texture that you want to introduce.

For a more maximalist style consider adding a nice velvet ribbon that complements the baubles, tinsel and even a few floral picks. If a darker and more conservative look is desired, one thick dark velvet ribbon should do the trick along with the simple but beautiful ornaments.

Bringing the Look of a Velvet Christmas Tree Look Together

When it comes to velvet, it’s about striking a balance between the glam and the cozy touch. Velvet makes me love how it can easily compliment a Christmas tree without overdoing it.

There is no right or wrong way how much velvet you apply because sure enough, it will always work with your Christmas decorations regardless of the amount.

This year, dive into a world wrapped around how velvet will change the game for you. When velvet is added to the Christmas decorations, the magic of Christmas is simply completed.

It feels soft and warm, the kind of feeling that’s ideal when spending time with family.

So this Christmas, if your home has not been decorated with velvet before, why not try it out? It might also be the perfect adornment that would make this Christmas unforgettable for the family.
