There are no comrades or unanimous opinions on color and taste. But this cannot justify outright bad taste.
From a professional point of view, a New Year tree can be ruined in no time. But there are many more mistakes when decorating it.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how not to decorate a Christmas tree.
First of all, there is no idea
A scenario, an idea or a concept for the decoration – that’s what you need to think about before you hang everything you found in the box on the tree.
In simple words, a decorated Christmas tree should look harmonious with the usual interior.
That is, you will have to either decorate the interior, or not overdo it with decorating the tree. Or better yet, do it all at once.
For example, a Christmas tree with glass balls in gold and silver, as well as bows and garlands, will look beautiful in a classic interior.
A good solution is a Christmas tree in retro style.
Secondly, an abundance of tinsel
You will have to choose - either 1-2 garlands of Christmas tree tinsel, or one Christmas tree tinsel.
But don't get carried away. This decoration can hide both the toys and the tree.
Thirdly, distribution of toys
To avoid making a mistake, estimate the number of toys and the size of the tree.
It should be covered evenly, and toys should hang not only on the edges of the branches, but also in the middle.
It is recommended to hang large decorations at the bottom and small ones at the top.
Another mistake is using balls of the same size, even if they are all different colors.
First of all, the balls should be of different sizes.
Fourth, the stand and the crown
When decorating the top, don't forget to hide the unsightly base.
In addition to textiles and cotton wool, you can use a basket, a flowerpot, or a box.
Designers often repeat that all decisions regarding decor should be individual, but it is better to listen to this advice.
