Minimalist Christmas Tree
Your Christmas tree will absolutely be the focal point in the room (or rooms) you choose to place it in. For a classic and low-key look add soft white Christmas lights all around the tree. Then add wooden elements (garland beads, wood-like ornaments). Stick to three colors for your ornaments to keep your Christmas tree feeling more minimalist while still festive.
