With Christmas around the corner, we are all filled with excitement and happiness. One thing about me: I'm addicted to pre-planning the whole festival in advance and I am sure some of you are too. My love for Christmas keeps me on my toes until I see my entire house decorated with Christmas ornaments, lights, and more! The season brings friends and family together, gives us joyous memories and creates fun moments that can be cherished forever. The most exciting part for me about Christmas is decorating the tree, I used to plan for it for months yet stayed clueless about what to do with my Christmas Tree Decorations. But you don’t have to remain clueless like me! 

In this blog, I will be sharing my years of experience in decoration. Welcome to my master guide on how to decorate a Christmas tree! Get ready, as your decorations are going to be Amazing this year! 

Choose Your Tree and Plan the Theme

Okay, so phase 1: to avoid any future confusion always, I repeat: ALWAYS choose your tree first and please plan the theme in advance. Here’s how you can do it the right way:

1. Start by choosing a tree of the size that fits your space.
2. Choose the type of tree you want: green fir, or a pencil tree
3. Plan the amount of your ornaments that will go on your tree.

The next step, plan the theme you want, it will help you make sound and cohesive choices for your decor. Here are a few popular Christmas tree themes:

1. Go with the tradition: Reds, greens, and golds; classic ornaments and nostalgic items.
2. Take a minimalist style: Simple colour schemes, sleek ornaments, and warm lights.
3. Complement the season - Rustic theme: Burlap ribbons, wood ornaments, and natural accents.

Selecting Ornaments for Different Tree Sizes

As mentioned earlier, your tree-size matters. The amount of ornaments you’ll be using for your tree decoration will depend entirely upon the size of your tree. 

• 4-6 Foot Trees: on small or mini trees opt for a few medium-sized ornaments for a minimalist look. 
• 7-8 Foot Trees: A balanced mix of large and small ornaments creates dimension, especially with bolder colours.
• 9-12 Foot Trees: Larger ornaments fill the tree space beautifully, mixed with special themed decorations, make sure to use lots of ornaments on large trees so the Christmas vibes don’t get overshadowed by the tree itself. 

Product Recommendation: Santa Ville’s collections offer unique options for any tree size, Choose from sports ornaments, memorial ornaments, and even profession-based options to add personal meaning to the decorations.

Layering Decorations: Lights, Garlands, and Ribbons

Listen up, you must not stop at basic decorations; create an elegant look. Start with lights, followed by garlands or ribbons to create a full, layered effect. Here’s a quick lighting guide for how to decorate a Christmas tree with sparkle:

• Lights: Begin from the bottom and work your way up for even coverage. Consider infinity lights from Santa Ville for a unique glow.
• Garlands and Ribbons: Drape garlands and ribbons in waves around the tree, allowing them to rest lightly on branches for a natural look.

This layered approach will make your Christmas tree decorating look professionally done, giving the tree depth and texture.

Ornaments and Personal Touches

Now comes the fun part! Add your christmas ornaments, starting with larger pieces first, then fill in with smaller ones. Mix materials and shapes to create visual interest—shiny, matte, glass, or plush textures all add character to your tree. For a truly personal touch, consider ornaments that reflect your family’s interests and milestones.

What’s decoration without a hint of your personal style? Take your tree decorating to the next level with unique accents.

• Top of the Tree: Traditional stars or angels make a statement, but don’t shy away from unique options like custom figurines.
• Around the Tree: Use decorative pillows, framed family photos, or snow globes to create a warm and inviting area.

Decorate the Base and Surroundings

The base of your tree deserves attention, too! Place a tree skirt or cozy fabric at the bottom to cover the stand and add a luxurious touch. Surround the tree base with carefully wrapped gifts, plush pillows, and festive stockings for a complete look.

Product Recommendation: Santa Ville’s Christmas stockings can be hung nearby or under the tree for extra holiday charm. Pair them with plush and pillows for a cozy scene that enhances the tree’s festive atmosphere.

Final Touches to Complete the Look

Once you’ve added ornaments, lights, and other decor, take a step back to assess the tree. Do you feel like it’s missing anything? Or is something off about the adjustments? If your answer is yes then: Adjust the arrangement for balance and symmetry, then add any final touches needed to make it shine. A few more lights or an extra ornament here and there can make all the difference in completing your Christmas tree.
