All that glitters

Embrace the sparkle and shine of the holiday season with glittery decorations that will make your tree twinkle. Delicate ornaments and baubles covered in glitter look perfect when scattered around the tree, adding brightness to your styling. You can also introduce glittery accents with a little more subtlety, by opting for baubles with small touches of sparkle.

Tree Skirts

Tree skirts are an essential part of Christmas tree decor, adding the finishing touch to your holiday setup. Not only do they hide the tree stand, but they also provide a beautiful backdrop for your presents. Choose a plush velvet for a luxurious look or a simple burlap for a rustic feel, tree skirts help to anchor your tree visually and can tie together all the elements of your decor.

How to Decorate your Christmas Tree

How to Decorate a Christmas Tree

How many ornaments to put on the tree?

That depends on the size of the tree, the type of ornaments and personal preference. Generally speaking, a small tree may have anywhere from 10-20 decorations, while a larger tree may have anywhere from 20-50 ornaments. If the tree is particularly large, or if it has been decorated with a lot of smaller ornaments, it could have upwards of 100 decorations.

Can I mix and match different decoration themes on my tree?

Absolutely! Your tree should reflect your personality and style. Mixing and matching can create a unique and eclectic look, as long as there's a unifying element, be it color, ornament type, or another theme aspect.

How to hang ornaments on your Christmas Tree

First, gather your ornaments and inspect each one for any damage or loose parts. Next, determine the desired placement of each ornament on the tree, considering factors such as colour coordination and balance. Once you have decided on the arrangement, attach ornament hooks or strings to each decoration. Carefully hang the ornaments on sturdy branches, starting from the top and working your way down. Be mindful of spacing to avoid overcrowding and ensure that each ornament has enough room to shine.
