Too much tinsel

If you look at photos of Christmas trees decorated by decorators, you won’t find any shiny tinsel or tinsel on them. Perhaps a tree without iridescent attributes may seem “empty” and unfinished, but according to the trend of recent years, naturalness and eco-friendliness are in fashion today.

If the tree doesn’t seem festive to you without shiny elements, use gilded beads, bows, ribbons and poinsettia flowers. Decorate the tree not only from the front side, but also from the side that is not visible at first glance.

Everything in a row

When you hang everything you have on the tree, mixing toys with four-color garlands, it looks untidy. To decorate a tree that will look no worse than a designer one, pay attention to its color scheme. Select photos of New Year trees you like, determine what shades are used in the design, and follow the plan.

Traditional red-green, white-blue, and brown-gold combinations are win-win. But if you are interested in more interesting combinations, experiment with them: the main thing is that the toys match each other.

Wrong garlands

If you want your tree to look more expensive, don’t skimp on the lights. When the garland is not long and bright enough, the bulbs are hidden behind the branches and the decorated tree looks dull. The forest beauty becomes much more spectacular if the garlands entangle the branches from all sides. Also pay attention to the wires: they should match the color of the spruce.

Even if you have thought through the color scheme of the tree, one garland can ruin all your efforts. Hang the product first, before the toys. Choose universal LED lights with warm or cold light if you want to emphasize the design of the tree. Multi-colored garlands can ruin the whole effect.

Nothing new

It’s hard to experience a New Year’s mood boost if a multi-year artificial tree has already fallen off or old, peeling and battered, decorations irritate with their appearance. Today, the market is overflowing with various models of Christmas trees, so you can easily find a suitable product for your budget.

You shouldn’t bring things that don’t make you happy to the New Year. Leave only those toys that you and your family like, but don’t rush to get rid of decorations that you got from your grandparents and parents. They can be used to decorate a retro-style Christmas tree or sold to collectors.

A Stand Without Decor

A plastic or wire base, open to view, can spoil the entire impression of a decorated Christmas tree. There are many ways to decorate the stand with your own hands:

  • lay traditional cotton wool;
  • cover with a special mat;
  • put the tree in a wooden box or wicker basket;
  • mask with burlap or other suitable fabric;
  • cover with boxes with gifts.

Helplessness

If you have small children or pets, don’t rely on luck and predict in advance the consequences of leaving the tree unattended. A fallen tree and broken toys can not only ruin your holiday, but also injure your household.

You shouldn’t give up the main symbol of the New Year: securely fasten the tree and hang unbreakable toys made of wood, paper, cardboard and fabric, which are easy to make with your own hands. You can also use non-traditional decorative Christmas trees from our selection.

For the sake of “checking the box”

Some people decorate the Christmas tree just because it’s supposed to be that way, without feeling the holiday in the midst of their daily chores. But don’t expect someone else to create a festive atmosphere in your home for you. Extend the pleasure of anticipation of the New Year by thinking about gifts, the New Year’s table menu and interior decoration in advance. This will allow you to enjoy the pre-holiday chores without the fuss.

Create a pleasant tradition and decorate the tree with the whole family, filling the preparation for the New Year with meaning. Look at options for decorating trees on the Internet, set aside a free evening, turn on Christmas music and approach the process creatively, without rushing anywhere. Turning on the garlands will add a magical touch even to the most ordinary evening.
