<p>With Christmas almost here, our design partner <a title="Jamie Banfield" href="https://www.trailappliances.com/jamie-banfield-partnership?utm_campaign=branding&utm_source=article&utm_medium=link&utm_content=jamie-banfield">Jamie Banfield</a> has given his home a simple and elegant look with a monochromatic theme for his tree, wreath, table setting and wrapping paper. Love the look? Follow the easy tips below to recreate this look in your home!</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.trailappliances.com/media/wysiwyg/wysiwyg/Jamie_TREE.jpg" alt="" width="654" height="368"></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Jamie Banfield and his black and white Christmas tree!</em></p> <h1>The Tree</h1> <p>Jamie suggests keeping it simple, and his tree design is easy enough to complete in half a day. The finished look will give you a classic tree with a modern twist.</p> <h2>For this look, youโll need:</h2> <ul> <li>A traditional green tree</li> <li>White and black ornaments</li> <li>White Christmas lights</li> </ul> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.trailappliances.com/media/wysiwyg/wysiwyg/24332144_1326817427447917_4882074666639818752_n_1__1.jpg" alt="" width="692" height="697"></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Wreath made with evergreen, Italian ruckus, air plants and succulents for a modern twist.</em></p> <p>While the tree sets the atmosphere for your indoor living space, the wreath does the same for your home outside.</p> <p>For greenery, Jamie went with evergreen and Italian ruckus and added some air plants and succulents for a modern twist.</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.trailappliances.com/media/wysiwyg/blog/2021/Jamie_tree_new_medium.jpg" alt=""></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Wrap your presents following the colour elements of your Christmas tree.</em></p> <h1>The Wrapping</h1> <p>Staying with the theme, Jamie chose wrapping paper with greens, browns, whites and blacks to bring a cohesive look to holiday decorating. Wrapping your presents with the same colour palette gives a finished look, especially when you see them under your tree.</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.trailappliances.com/media/wysiwyg/wysiwyg/Jamie-blog-Left.jpg" alt="" width="701" height="701"></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Table setting with white dinnerware with black and gold elements.</em></p> <h1>The Table</h1> <p>Jamie recommends using white dinnerware to set the foundation. You can then decorate your table by bringing in the same foliage used in your wreath for added holiday inspiration.</p> <h2>You can use:</h2> <ul> <li>Italian Ruckus</li> <li>Long Leaf Eucalyptus</li> <li>Olive Branches</li> <li>Seasonal flowers</li> </ul> <p>We hope these tips inspire you to get ready for Christmas.
