Chinoiserie Christmas Trees
In my humble opinion, chinoiserie and Christmas are a match made in decorating heaven. The timeless combination of blue and white porcelain mixed with festive red and green accents feels both elegant and joyful. These trees show how easy it can be to incorporate chinoiserie into your holiday decorating for a collected, traditional style.
This Christmas tree is full of traditional holiday charm with a chinoiserie twist. The layered plaid ribbon instantly draws the eye and ties together the mix of red, green, and blue ornaments.
Oversized patterned ornaments, touches of greenery, and chinoiserie pieces tucked throughout the branches give it so much depth and personality. Using a blue and white planter as the base grounds the tree beautifully and gives it a designer look and feel.
The tree brings the same timeless mix into the main living space for a look that feels cozy and inviting. The rich tartan ribbon winds through the branches alongside chinoiserie ornaments, shiny red and green balls, and a few special pieces that make the tree feel personal.
The blue and white accents throughout the room carry the theme beyond the tree, creating a coordinated and cheerful space that still feels lived-in and welcoming.
Together, these chinoiserie trees show how beautifully this classic style pairs with the season’s traditional colors. Blue and white porcelain pieces add a fresh contrast to the warmth of red and green, while the layered ribbon and carefully chosen ornaments make each tree feel collected over time.
It’s a look that works beautifully year after year, no matter your decorating style.

There’s something so comforting about a traditional Christmas tree. Red, green, and gold will never go out of style, and when layered thoughtfully, these classic colors can feel both nostalgic and fresh at the same time.

Thank you! Yes, I did them myself. It takes me several days though and I often move things around before I’m completely done.
