The Christmas tree is often the focus of all your Christmas decor, and getting that movie-style centrepiece can often be more difficult than you think. However, this useful guide will give you all the tips to decorate your Christmas tree like a professional.
Get your space ready
When it comes to tree decorating, you will need a few things to start, such as a clear area for your tree, a stool or step ladder for those harder to reach areas, and potentially a few family members to help.
Invest in top quality artificial Christmas trees
Artificial trees are very popular as they can be used every year, are very durable and have very beautiful effects. You can even get smaller artificial Christmas trees that are great if you have less space.
Start with the lights
If you haven’t got one of the pre-lit Christmas trees then the first thing you need to do is drape the Christmas lights around your branches. It’s harder to do when the tree is full of ornaments, so it is recommended this be your first step.
Balance your ornaments
Depending on the number of ornaments and baubles you have for your tree, make sure you spread them out to get the best effect. Some baubles can be clustered for effect, but you don’t want any obvious gaps in your branches. Working from the top to the bottom will help you visualise as you go.
Add your extras
Don’t forget your extras such as your tree-topper, tinsel, ribbons and a tree skirt to cover any unattractive tree legs.
