The holiday season is incomplete without the festivities of Christmas, and nothing contributes to this more than an exquisitely decorated full artificial Christmas tree. While the process of decorating a Christmas tree may seem like a daunting task, with a few tips and tricks, you will transform your tree into a stunning masterpiece.
Size Matters
Before you begin decorating, take a moment to consider the size of your tree. For instance, if you have a small tree, there is no point in overcrowding it with extravagant decorations. On the other hand, if you have a large tree, make sure you have enough decorations to fill it up. The last thing you want is to end up with a sparsely decorated tree.
Lights
The first step in decorating your Christmas tree is to add lights. White lights create an incredible ambiance, but you can always opt for a more dramatic effect with colored lights. Either way, make sure you have enough lights to cover the entire length of the branches.
One pro tip when it comes to adding lights to your tree is to work from the top down. Start at the top and weave the lights in and out of the branches, bringing them down with you. This technique delivers a more cohesive and uniform look.
Deciding on Your Color Scheme
Deciding on a color scheme is another essential aspect of decorating your Christmas tree. Your options are endless, but some popular color schemes include silver and gold, red and green, and blue and silver.
One effective way of implementing a color scheme is to use ornaments that match the color scheme. By the same token, utilize Christmas lights that complement your color scheme to pull everything together.
Ornaments
Ornaments come in many shapes and sizes, from simple to ornate, and everything in between. The key to adding ornaments to your tree is deciding on a theme. You can go for anything from traditional Christmas decorations to the latest fashion trends.
For instance, if you want to display a traditional tree, consider hanging vintage-style decorations that your grandparents may have used. If you’re aiming for a more modern tree, consider ornamental decorations such as baubles and glitters.
Fill in Your Tree
Filling in your tree is the final step in your Christmas tree decoration process. Here you have two options. You can either use more ornaments or add in some greenery to fill in the spaces.
When adding ornaments, look for any gaps between the decorations, and fill them in with additional ornaments. The key is to create a harmonious balance between the different decorations on the tree. But, if you want a more natural look, you can add in some garland made of branches and other natural items.
In conclusion, decorating your full artificial Christmas tree can seem intimidating at first, but with some strategic planning and overall creativity, you’re on your way to a beautiful, well-lit, and color-coordinated tree. Remember to aim for harmony, balance, and simplicity – unless, of course, your style is over-the-top and dramatic. But, most importantly, have fun with it! Devote this celebration to joy, laughter and spending time with loved ones. Happy holidays!
