Whether you have live or artificial Christmas trees in the living space, they become the focal point in any room. Adding Christmas decorations creates magic in the home, regardless of shape or size. You can place Christmas trees in any part of the home, and you can decorate them differently. But how do you plan your decorations? Find out here.

First Start With a Wreath on the Porch

A great place to start is decorating your front door with a wreath and adding a Christmas tree if possible. Yet, the planning of the tree begins way ahead before you even take it out of the attic or basement.

How To Plan Your Artificial Christmas Tree Décor

Planning a few things before starting to decorate your artificial Christmas trees makes life more straightforward in the rush of the holidays. You can decide on a color palette or a theme when wanting to use Christmas decorations. Doing this allows you to make all your Christmas décor look cohesive.

Follow a Christmas Tree Decorating Strategy

Following a system helps to decorate all the different trees you want to display in the home. Whether you choose a color of white or a touch of green with metallic to make your tree snowy, having a strategy helps. Okay, it also depends on whether you have a collection of Christmas trees. But whether you only have one or six, the approach to decorating each one remains the same.

  1. First, remove your tree from the storage bag to put it up if you have artificial Christmas trees. Then fluff those branches into a position where you want them and take your time.
  2. If you do not have a pre-lit artificial Christmas tree, then it is time to add the lights to your tree.
  3. Next, add your topper to the tree from a star, angles, or whatever you choose.
  4. Then take your heaviest yet most extended ornaments and place them on your tree.
  5. Now, move to your medium-sized ornaments to place on your tree.
  6. Lastly, it is time to add the small ornaments or your unique ornaments last on the tree.
  7. With some wired or non-wired ribbon, you can now decorate your tree by letting them flow down or adding some bows in between.
  8. Now, stand back to look at your tree and add some picks, stems, and berries you can stick into those bare spaces you see.

Grab your trusty old vacuum to give the floor around the tree a cleaning. Now, end it with fabric, skirt, or collar to make your tree look elegant and natural, and enjoy your masterpiece.

Final Decoration Thoughts

When you follow this strategy, it will help you to decorate your tree in no time. But an important thing to remember when you style your artificial Christmas trees. Always hang your decorations on the inside of the tree branches. Then, follow it up with others midway and on the ends to give it a full effect. Then, when the lights shine through, it will make your tree glow to wow everyone in the room.

You can follow the above steps when decorating all your artificial Christmas trees in the home. Then, whether you have a tall, slim, upside down, full, half, or small tree, you can let the theme flow from one tree to another.
