Modern Christmas Tree Ornaments

Modern Snowflake Ornament

The key to creating a modern feel to your tree is to select ornaments that have a more graphic shape instead of being very detailed and literal.  Color can also play a big part.  Moving away from the traditional red and green can also make your decorations feel more modern.  Love the red and green?  Then substitute the shade of red or green.  Instead of primary green use lime green or instead of red use a pink or poppy.  Oh my goodness, now I want to have a poppy tree.  Wouldn't poppy and navy be a great modern statement.
