Christmas Tree Decorations Ideas and Tips

Are you tired of improvising Christmas tree decorations at the last minute? When you don't take the time to find aesthetic and fashionable ornaments, it's more likely that the look of your tree won't end up pleasing you. 

If you're one of those who put off buying Christmas ornaments until the last minute and often get stuck with the decorations and baubles that no one else wanted, this year, commit to making a change so you can be proud of your tree. 

This could be the year you start having the prettiest Christmas tree among your friends and acquaintances; you just need to think carefully about the ornaments you will buy. If you're unsure what Christmas ornaments will look best on your artificial Christmas tree, here are some ideas and tips to get you started.

Get a quality tree

You can have the most incredible Christmas tree decor ideas, but your efforts will only succeed if you have a tree to match. That's why investing in a quality artificial Christmas tree is always a good idea because, besides contributing to sustainability, you won't be supporting the possible illegal logging of protected forests. 

While quality artificial trees are more expensive, they are worth the investment because they last much longer while maintaining their fullness and natural appearance. There are even trees with integrated lights, which make it easy for you to add a series of lights.

One of the current trends is white or gold-colored trees. If you have little space or want to put festive decorations in your office, you can opt for a mini tree. Even if it's minimalistic, it will help add to the holiday spirit.

Invest in a durable tree stand

When purchasing a natural tree, many people think very little about the Christmas tree stand they buy, but this is a mistake since not all stands can support all sizes of trees. It is recommended that once you select the tree, you want to put in your house, measure the trunk and choose a tree stand that is capable of holding and supporting both the width of the trunk and the height of the tree.

Consider that a real tree requires support with plenty of water storage. Luckily, many supports come with particular characteristics on the packaging or in their online descriptions, so remember to check them carefully before selecting one.

Once you've set up your tree on the proper stand, take the time to shape and fluff the branches. This essential step will help make your tree look fluffy and beautiful.

Regarding the lights

Most quality artificial trees come with Christmas lights already strung, but if you are purchasing a natural or artificial tree without lights, be sure to string the lights before placing any other decorations on the tree. Suppose you do this step backward and place the lights last. In that case, they will end up looking messy, and many of your decorations will probably fall off, which will be frustrating if they are made of fragile materials.

Many people love the classic appeal of warm white Christmas lights, but you can also choose to hang your tree with fairy lights. You can also pick between regular bulbs and LED bulbs, which last longer and tend to emit brighter light.

Most experts recommend placing about 100 bulbs per 60 cm of Christmas tree. That means you'll need 300 bulbs for a six-foot tree, so do your math. The purpose is to achieve that beautiful and joyful glow that illuminates each branch in a charming way that is characteristic of Christmas.

If you are a meticulous person, remember to invest in an automatic timer so that the Christmas lights come on at the same time every night and turn off automatically at the time you prefer.

Choose the right decorations

There are always so many options for Christmas decorations, so how do you choose between them all? Before buying, decide what theme or color palette you want your Christmas decorations to have.

Do you want something very traditional? Do you prefer the sophistication of rich gold and silver ornaments? Or will you go for the trend in pastel-colored decorations this year? Once you decide on a theme, you'll have an easier time choosing Christmas tree ornaments and other holiday decorations that perfectly complement the rest of your home.

Another great idea is to DIY your decorations. It may not be too traditional, but it’s a fun way to spend quality time with your children.
 

The treetop 

Every Christmas tree is complete with an eye-catching tree topper. When selecting a Christmas tree ornament, decide whether you want a traditional star or a glorious angel.

You can even choose an unconventional decoration. No matter which option you choose, make sure it matches the theme of the rest of your Christmas decor.

Invest in Christmas storage

Buying a beautiful tree and perfect Christmas tree decorations will do you little good if you don't store them properly once the season ends.

Also, invest in Christmas storage solutions, such as spools for Christmas lights, a bag for your artificial tree, and storage boxes for your ornaments—all of which can help keep them safe and pristine until it's time to put them out again next year.
