Every Christmas, we wonder what decoration ideas are trendy this year? Or, how to perfectly decorate a Christmas tree? No worries, Housetherapie will give you all tips and advice to get a perfect Christmas tree, let’s get it started!
Plan to spend time on it
Whether it is big or small, as even in the mini version, we want our tree to be the most beautiful and elegant one. We start by watching it from every angle to expose its most flattering branches to the sight of everyone. Then, you get inspired by the most trendy Christmas ideas. Finally, the meticulous hanging of balls, decorations, and other garlands can begin.

Set a theme

When we go shopping for Christmas decorations, we end up falling in love with all the little cute items, the result? A mess! Nothing goes together and our tree looks like nothing.
To avoid that, we keep our focus on one theme and only one theme. To avoid that, we keep our focus on one theme and only one theme. Colors, style, or atmosphere combination can also be declined on the festive table or in the rest of the house.

Pick three colors maximum

Generally speaking, Christmas is a joyful and special occasion, but this does not mean that the Christmas tree should look like a clown. The traditional green and red duo is too small for you? Are you looking for originality? No problem! However, in decoration as in fashion, you should not mix more than three colors at once. So you can choose colors with the same tonality, for an elegant and effective result.

Add some light

Lighting is a key factor in giving your home a magical glow and giving it a magical atmosphere. Whether it’s sparkling light garlands, glittering decorations, or figures, don’t forget to place them first.
This way they can be hidden behind thorns, which will give your lighting even more magic and mystery. To make your Christmas tree even more beautiful, you can add LED decorations such as candles, houses, or balls to be suspended from the branches to complete the light garlands.

Create a balance

One more time, the magic word is harmony. This is when you think back to step 1 of our list: spend some time decorating the tree. So don’t rush headlong into it. Finally, the long-awaited moment of arranging the decorations in a well-balanced way arrives. Balls of different colors or styles, garlands, and other hangings are alternated to spread them out equally over the entire tree.

360° vision

Although the tree may be glued to a wall or in a corner, don’t forget to decorate it entirely. Covered with decorations, it will be much more majestic, although it is possible to make a slightly « light » version on the less visible part of the tree.
