You need to get inspired by the following ideas and tips to impress your family with the most beautiful tree ever decorated. Once you have brought the tree inside, cut the stump and put it immediately in water. In this way it will will absorb few liters of water and it will last longer. Also, after installation of the support is indicated to fill its water recipient several times a day. Ideally, you should buy a stand that includes a comprehensive reservoir. Also regarding the positioning stage, you are advised to put the tree at about 1 meter away from the fireplace, radiator or other heat sources and away from doors or frequented corridors.

Decorating the Christmas tree starts with the lights. You hang them from the top downward, vertical or circular. You need to distance them equally, not piled up in some areas. Remember that the purpose of lighting is also to highlight the ornaments, not only to be ornaments themselves. Choose small lights that do not play and don't blink. Setting the theme is an expression of creativity. It is important to focus on the color of the room and choose complementary colors for the accessories tree. For example, if the room has warm colors then you should choose yellow or red decorations, not shiny silver or white. An elegant theme will make use of velvet, satin, beads colored or shiny objects. A country theme would use hemp cookies shaped ornaments, small wooden toys garlands of popcorn and cranberry.

Baubles and other ornaments should be hanging only the top of branches. Arrange them inside out to add depth to your Christmas tree. Never use too many decorations. Choose them carefully and arrange them evenly in all parts of the tree. When you select the ornaments, avoid models with too much gloss and shine. The tinsel need to be in limited quantities and each strip is hung separately from the top downward. For a minimalist look decorate your tree in two colors. Every family wants a custom tree. With this purpose in mind, you can opt for other types of decorations: sweets, fruit, pine cones, ribbons, balls as icicle, teardrop, triangle. A little variety can make the difference. In the baubles, keep a balance between their size and tree size. Also, larger baubles look better placed to the tree. My favorite color theme for Christmas tree decorations is red-yellow combination.
