Instead of the traditional Christmas tree, how about...

multiple modern tinsel wrapped cones in varying heights,

post-it notes arranged on a mirror in the shape of a tree (my personal favorite because its so easy and cheap!),

a sparse white tree that allows the colors of the ornaments to pop, like this one..

or a fuller one like this one.

or a tree in a traditional size and shape but non-traditional color,

or how about using just part of the "tree" and instead opting for artfully arranged tall white branches with golden leaves.
