Decorating your Christmas tree is one of the most exciting parts of the holiday season! It’s your chance to turn a blank canvas into a festive masterpiece that reflects your personal style. Whether you’re aiming for a rustic farmhouse feel or a playful holiday vibe, these pro-level tips will help you create a tree that wows every guest.
1. Start with a Theme
Choosing a theme is the first step to creating a cohesive and visually stunning Christmas tree. Here are some popular ideas:
-
Rustic Farmhouse: Use farmhouse Christmas ornaments, burlap ribbons, and warm lights for a cozy, homespun look.
-
Classic Elegance: Stick to traditional reds, greens, and golds, with shiny baubles and metallic accents.
-
Playful Holiday Fun: Incorporate bright colors, whimsical designs, and playful ornaments like our breakout Santa and reindeer collection.
2. Layer Your Lights
For a tree that shines bright, start with the lights. Wrap them from the trunk outward, weaving them in and out of the branches. Pro tip: Use at least 100 lights per foot of tree for optimal glow. White lights offer a classic look, while multicolored lights bring a playful touch.
3. Add Ribbon or Garland
Next, drape ribbon or garland in layers around your tree. Wide ribbons with patterns like plaid or glitter add depth and texture. Try the “cascade” method by letting ribbons flow vertically from the top for a sophisticated look.
4. Showcase Statement Ornaments
Your ornaments are the stars of the show! Start with larger pieces like
personalized ornaments or bold designs, spacing them evenly around the tree. Then, fill in with smaller ornaments to balance the look.
5. Add Picks and Sprigs for Dimension
For a designer look, tuck sprigs of greenery, holly berries, or glittery picks between branches. These small details add dimension and elevate the overall aesthetic.
6. Top It Off with Style
Every tree needs a fabulous topper to complete the look. Traditional stars, angels, or rustic bows are great options. Want something different? Try a whimsical topper that matches your theme, like oversized candy canes or a fun Santa hat!
7. Finish with a Coordinated Tree Skirt or Collar
Don’t forget the base! A festive tree skirt or collar ties the entire look together. For a farmhouse vibe, use a burlap tree skirt; for something playful, choose one with bright colors and holiday motifs.
