A Christmas tree decoration inspired by the flamingo style

The Christmas tree is the heart of the festive decoration in many homes. For this year, why not opt for a timeless, elegant and natural style? A flamingo inspired tree decoration brings a refined and warm touch, ideal for celebrating the holidays in a sober but festive spirit. By focusing on natural materials, neutral hues and simple ornaments, you can transform your tree into a sophisticated centerpiece. Here's how to create an elegant and authentic Christmas tree, faithful to the Flemish aesthetic.

What is Flemish style?

The Flemish style is characterised by its understated elegance and natural aesthetic. Born in Flanders, it favours sustainable materials such as solid wood, ceramic, linen and glass. It is also characterised by a neutral and calming colour palette, often enriched with subtle touches of deeper hues.

Applying the flamingo style to the decoration of a Christmas tree means favoring:

Simple but refined ornaments.
Natural and sustainable materials.
A palette of harmonious and soft colors.
A sobriety that highlights the beauty of the tree itself.

The basics of a flamingo-style tree decoration

An elegant and calming color palette

The choice of colors is essential to create a harmonious tree decoration that is faithful to the Flamingo style. The color palette should remain sober and natural, while matching the festive spirit of Christmas.

Neutral shades : Opt for tones like beige, taupe, off-white or light gray as a base.
Festive accents : Add touches of patinated gold, aged silver or copper for a touch of elegance without excess.
Natural colors : Incorporate deep greens reminiscent of fir branches, or woody hues to reinforce the authentic look.

Natural materials for sustainable decoration

The Flemish style favors natural and authentic materials. These elements bring visual warmth and rich texture to your tree decoration.

The wood : Use decorations made from raw or lightly distressed wood, such as stars, hearts or snowflakes.
The glass : Blown glass ornaments, transparent or lightly colored, add a touch of lightness and elegance.
Linen and jute : These natural materials can be used to create ribbons, bows or garlands.
Organic elements : Add pine cones, eucalyptus branches or dried orange slices for an authentic and festive decoration.

How to decorate a Christmas tree in flamingo style?

Garlands: elegance and simplicity

Traditional plastic garlands don't fit the flamingo style. Opt for natural and elegant alternatives.

Linen or jute ribbons : Drape them around your tree for a simple and chic effect. Choose ribbons in neutral shades to match the rest of the decoration.
Fairy lights : Opt for LED garlands with a warm and soft light. Avoid flashing to maintain a soothing atmosphere.
Natural garlands : Make your own garlands with pine cones, red berries or dried orange slices.

Ornaments: refined and timeless pieces

Ornaments should be kept simple but elegant to reflect the Flemish aesthetic. Each decoration should be chosen carefully to fit in with the whole.

Glass balls : Choose clear or lightly tinted glass balls in soft shades like gray, white, or beige. Blown glass balls with subtle patterns add a touch of elegance.
Wooden decorations : Add natural wooden stars, snowflakes or hearts. You can also choose hand-painted ornaments in neutral tones.
Ceramic suspensions : The white or cream ceramic decorations bring a refined texture and fit perfectly with the flamingo style.

Natural details for an authentic look

To enhance the natural character of your tree, incorporate organic elements directly from nature.

Pine cones : Tie them with jute twine for a rustic and chic touch.
Eucalyptus branches : Insert them between the branches of the tree for a natural and fragrant effect.
Dried orange slices : These simple decorations add a warm touch of color while remaining authentic.

The final touch: the top of the tree

The top of the tree is often the most decorative element. In the Flemish style, opt for a sober but elegant decoration.

Wooden star : A raw or weathered wooden star is a classic and timeless choice.
Linen or jute knot : A large handmade bow adds a chic, minimalist touch.
Minimalist crown : A small crown made from natural branches or aged metal can also be an original alternative.

Tips for a harmonious flamingo tree

Work in layers : Start with the garlands, then add the larger ornaments, and finish with the natural details and smaller accessories.
Keep symmetry : Distribute your decorations in a balanced manner for a harmonious result.
Avoid overloading : The Flemish style values simplicity. Leave space between the ornaments so that each element can stand out.

Specialized decoration shops : Many stores offer wooden, glass or ceramic ornaments that fit the flamingo style.
DIY (Do It Yourself) : Create your own decorations in wood, fabric or using natural elements for a unique and personalized tree.
Christmas markets : These events are often an excellent source of inspiration and purchase for artisanal and authentic decorations.
