Modern trees: At the pinnacle of any modern holiday is a modern tree. Here are our favorites but you can find other alternatives at DigsDigs.
Superstar Holiday Tree from Modernica ; $240: An environmentally friend alternative to the traditional tree! And it's so chic! Made from natural baltic birch. These can be personalized with paint or ornaments and run in two sizes. They've also been calling this the Christmukkah tree as the owner of Modernica said that he wanted to design the tree with a Star of David to please households that celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah.
Lovi Tree as seen on Unison: $125: This is my personal favorite as it is so stylish and unique. I love the shape of it and it looks like it is easy to set up. The best part: every Lovi purchase supports a tree-planting program in a developing country.
Tannenboing Tree, $475: This spiral tree has a very fresh, sleek look to it. It's made from aluminum and is a great pick for those who trying to live environmentally friendly.
Ornaments
Lovi Hearts, $10-15: I absolutely love these ornaments. They are perfect if you are trying to have a non-traditional tree. I love that they are 3-D. They actually come flat like a postcard and you have to punch them out. Reminds me a little bit of origami!
Mid Century Modern Ceramic Ornaments on Delight, $35: These are just gorgeous! I am really loving how they look on a modern white tree! A crafty and budget-conscious blogger came up with a DIY way to get this look.
Modern Glass Ornaments by Eva Ziesal as seen on Unica Home, $30: If you like bright, fun colors, these are for you! They are so unique in their shape and they are perfect for somebody who wants to decorate a little differently for the holidays! One reviewer aptly pointed out, "that they become timeless, not bound to a holiday, but free to float in the wind like the reckless icons of color and shape that they are."
You could also check out these very cute bird cage ornaments (which are a personal favorite of mine given my love for unique birdcages) or I'd suggest looking at some vintage/antique shops online to find some really great midcentury modern ornaments.
And to top it off..

I love the Modi tree! I bought my first real tree this year but I want to go back to fake. ;)
It was my first year making ornaments so I drilled holes into cool toys to make ornaments. Maybe more eclectic than modern, but I love it.
The way I wrap presents is sleek and modern though. Brown paper, simple embellishments.
I go a bit modern by going back to the 60's and I decorate using Danish Modern & Swedish design. I love the simplicity of the older wooden ornaments with their pastel colors rather than the glossy ones used in many current styles.
