Tip #1: Start with a Theme
Before adding ornaments to your prelit artificial Christmas tree, having a theme in mind is essential. This will help guide your choices and ensure your tree looks cohesive and stylish. Some popular articles include rustic, traditional, and modern.
Once you’ve chosen your theme, consider the color scheme you want to work with. This will help you choose ornaments, ribbons, and other decorations that fit your theme and create a cohesive look.
Tip #2: Add Layers of Lights
One of the most significant advantages of a prelit artificial Christmas tree is it’s already covered in lights. However, to create a genuinely stunning tree, consider adding more lights to create depth and texture.
Start by adding a string of lights in a different color, such as warm white or colored mini lights. Then, consider adding larger bulbs or LED lights to create a focal point on your tree. Make sure to wrap the lights around the branches, rather than just stringing them vertically, to create a more exciting look.
Other Decorating Tips:
Start with the tree topper: This will help you decide on the overall theme of the tree and guide your ornament choices.
Use a variety of ornament sizes: Mix large and small ornaments to create depth and interest.
Fill out the branches: Don’t leave empty spaces on the tree. Instead, use filler ornaments, such as ribbon or other non-traditional decorations, to fill in any holes.
Add some natural elements: Incorporating natural ingredients, such as pine cones or holly berries, can add texture and interest to your tree.
Experiment with ribbon: Using ribbon to wrap around the tree or create loops around the tree’s branches can add dimension.
Remember the tree skirt: Choose one that complements your tree’s theme and color scheme.
In conclusion, decorating your prelit artificial Christmas tree doesn’t have to be daunting. By starting with a theme, adding layers of lights, mixing ornament sizes, filling out the branches, incorporating natural elements, and experimenting with ribbon, you can create a picture-perfect holiday tree that your family and friends will love.
