Christmas tree decorating tips - How to decorate with Christmas Baubles

Christmas is a time that almost everyone loves. For some, it's a time of joy as they see the whole family together, for the first time in a long time. For others, it may have a nostalgic factor and others may just hate anything to do with Christmas, besides Christmas decorations, baubles and Christmas trees. But either way, it's a special time of the year.

And you could say that Christmas in a home begins the day the whole house is decked out for Christmas: with decorations, elves and other decorative things in red colours... and of course the Christmas tree as the main decorative element visible in the living room.

But we shouldn't just decorate the tree in any way: there are certain tips that will make the Christmas tree look better. Especially Christmas baubles, which together with candles are the tree's most distinctive feature. In this article, we'll help you hang Christmas baubles the right way on your Christmas tree.

How to decorate with Christmas Baubles

Once you have the tree "naked" in front of you and all your Christmas baubles at hand, you can start hanging them in the right order: At the bottom, the biggest Christmas baubles and at the end, the smallest Christmas baubles, if you have Christmas baubles of different sizes.

In terms of placement, try to create some order, some symmetry. For example, you could divide the tree (mentally) into grids and place the Christmas baubles symmetrically. We recommend zig-zagging so that the final effect is more beautiful.

What to decorate with first - Lights or Baubles?

There's no doubt that the baubles go on the tree first! As well as any other decorations you'd like to hang on the Christmas tree. And once you've hung everything and positioned it well, finally put the lights up so they surround the tree symmetrically, so there are no areas with no lights and other areas with too many lights together. You can do this in a spiral, from the bottom to the top.

How many baubles to put on a Christmas tree?

According to the experts, it is recommended to be a little cautious when decorating your home for Christmas, as too many Christmas decorations can be a bit nauseating. However, you can do the exact opposite on a Christmas tree. A Christmas tree doesn't look bad if it's filled with baubles, ornaments, lights etc.

Of course, without exceeding the weight the tree can carry. It shouldn't fall down or twist to one side. And the branches with their green needles must be visible. But with a little taste and common sense, you can decorate a tree with lots of baubles.

Christmas tree colours - Choose the right scheme of colours

There are traditional Christmas colours that never go out of fashion. On the one hand, the colour gold is one of the classics for Christmas. It reminds us of the colour of the champagne we toast with and it represents elegance in a time when we all wear the best clothes we own.

In combination with gold, there is red. Like the classic colour of Santa's clothes or the classic colour of the Christmas stockings hanging on the chimey.

These two are the basic colours. Otherwise, soft pink colours always look good and they convey peace. Or parchment and light browns, which give a traditional, rustic and homely feel.

So when decorating the tree with coloured baubles, try to ensure that all these colours are present on the baubles.
