By the time the holiday seasons comes upon us, we become so impatient and overexcited that we tend to forget a lot of rules. This is especially true in the case of prelit Christmas tree decoration. While we understand and share your sentiments for the best season of the year, we also want you to exercise some skillfulness.
You see, for each one of us, the priority is to decorate our homes and our tree in an unparalleled, unbeatable way. But in this attempt, we often overdo things. We have noted this specifically in the prelit trees we have seen over the years.
The thing with prelit trees is that they’re already adorned to a certain extent and many prefer to simply plug them in and that’s it. A lot of people believe that prelit trees don’t even require any additional decorations or a décor theme because they’re enough on their own.
However, for most of us, Christmas season is not complete till we have hung up ornaments with our own hands. Isn’t that true for you too? Hence, in this article, we will outline the dos and don’ts of prelit trees to help you stay on the right track this year.
A Guide to Enrich Your Festive Decorations
- Prelit trees now come in a variety of colors, including all-white too. If you’ve got some eclectic or loud color themes for your interiors already, think about a different or neutral colored tree. An all-white, pink etc tree might help balance your overall décor theme. Or you could opt for colored Christmas trees or the traditional green one if you have a cramped space. A gold, multicolored, pink etc. tree might uplift your small space better than a green tree.
- Do not forget the personalized stocking for your tree. They’re a must-have for every prelit tree not and unique to each family member.
- Be practical when decorating your prelit tree. If it already has tons of bulbs on it, there is no need for you to wrap more strings of light around the tree. You want your prelit tree to glow beautifully throughout the season, not become an eyesore for everyone.
- Puns really add to fun of Christmas decoration and there’s no reason why you shouldn’t use some comedy for your Christmas theme. You could write your own funny Christmas quotes on wooden chips and hang them as ornaments on the tree. The guests will surely enjoy the humor!
- Don’t heavily decorate your tree. It should look well-balanced but it wouldn’t please anybody visually if you just throw ornaments, accessories, ribbons etc. haywire. Balance the entire looking with big and small sized ornaments, different textures and color balance.
- Do not use perishables as ornaments for your prelit tree. Sure your DIY project researches can yield several fantastic ornament ideas with oranges. But we have to tell you that your beautiful craft will smell rotten in just a few days on that gorgeous prelit tree.
- Many may tell you how beautiful poinsettias look on prelit trees but stay away from that idea. Poinsettias are toxic for dogs and cats and your pets will needlessly suffer.
