Whether it’s time or not to buy an artificial Christmas tree for the house, every fan of natural decorations thought about it before the New Year.
But the fashion trend for everything natural, as well as the unique atmosphere of the holiday, makes us go to the Christmas tree market again.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how to make the right choice between an artificial and a natural Christmas tree for the New Year.
Live Christmas tree. Pros
1. The undeniable advantage of a live Christmas tree is the New Year atmosphere created by the smell of pine needles.
2. Another circumstance is phytoncides, which are part of the pine oil. These are substances that suppress the growth of bacteria, improve mood and are useful for the body.
3. In addition, buying a new tree every year gives a person a genuine feeling of something new.
4. A natural tree does not need to be stored for a whole year, especially if there is little space in the apartment. This is also important.
Flaws
No matter what the housewives come up with, needles will fall every day. And every day of the New Year holidays someone will have to clean them up.
The second important point is the cost. An artificial tree will pay for itself in a couple of holidays, but for a real one you will have to allocate money every year.
Artificial Christmas tree. Pros
1. You don't need to buy it every year. If the aesthetic side of the issue is satisfactory, then the tree can work for 10-15 and even 20 years.
2. Most products are safe for everyday use and leave no waste.
3. The choice of artificial Christmas trees is quite wide. You can choose any height, width, color, with dense or sparse needles.
Flaws
Of course, problems with storage, dust and allergies to artificial material. This is all possible, but not categorical.
Conclusion
The decision to purchase the main New Year's decoration should be made based on your own capabilities.
As for ecology, natural trees are disposed of at special sites.
And even an artificial beauty that has served its time can be disposed of in a special container for plastic.
