How to Decorate your Christmas Tree
What's the trend for Christmas tree decorations this year?
This year, Christmas tree decorations are all about blending past favorites with fresh ideas. Many people are loving natural decorations made from things like wood and dried fruits. They not only look great but also bring that cozy holiday smell into homes. Some are choosing simple, one-color themes for their trees, while others are going for a free-spirited boho look with earthy colors and handmade ornaments. Vintage decorations from years gone by are making a comeback, and we're also seeing trees that celebrate different cultures from around the world. While some are filling their trees with every ornament they can find for a lavish look, others are keeping things minimalistic and clean. A fun trend for families is ornaments that you can interact with or even make yourself. And with the environment in mind, many are choosing eco-friendly decorations, proving that sustainability can be festive too!
How many ornaments to put on the tree?
That depends on the size of the tree, the type of ornaments and personal preference. Generally speaking, a small tree may have anywhere from 10-20 decorations, while a larger tree may have anywhere from 20-50 ornaments. If the tree is particularly large, or if it has been decorated with a lot of smaller ornaments, it could have upwards of 100 decorations.
Can I mix and match different decoration themes on my tree?
Absolutely! Your tree should reflect your personality and style. Mixing and matching can create a unique and eclectic look, as long as there's a unifying element, be it color, ornament type, or another theme aspect.
