Decorating a Christmas tree is the most enjoyable activity. For many, it is a family tradition and often new decorations appear in the house on this occasion – toys, tree tops, garlands.
In the end, the tree may contain the best and most beautiful things, but it is important to maintain balance and know where to start.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how to decorate a Christmas tree.
Where to start
1. The main thing is to decorate the tree from top to bottom, that is, from the top. This can be a star, a bow, or other types of decorations.
2. After assembling the tree, the first thing you need to do is hang the garlands on it. Otherwise, you won’t be able to distribute them evenly and hide the wires.
3. Next, hang tinsel, beads and similar decorations.
4. After this, you can hang the Christmas tree decorations. Here, too, it is important to follow one rule: first hang the large decorations, and then the small ones.
5. Lastly, they send tinsel to the tree.
Decoration style
Oddly enough, there is a style to this too. The tree can be decorated in the spirit of minimalism, scandi, etc.
Another important point is the main color of the decoration. There should be no more than three colors on the tree.
For variety, you can use matte or glossy toys, relief details, and don’t forget about the materials.
A tree can be called successfully decorated if its base is not visible. It is convenient to hide it in burlap, wicker baskets or cover it with fabric.
