Most people put up their one tree that they have been displaying for the last 20+ years. I know you just love that ornament made out of Elmers glue and popsickle sticks that Timmy did when he was 6 (now 26) but times are a-changin. Themed trees are very big now. Multiple trees can be found in many homes. I have had customers with up to 20 trees in one home!
A great way to keep and still display your much loved ornaments is to designate them to their own tree. Get a 4 foot tree, put it in a different place such as a kitchen or a loft and decorate it with family oriented ornaments. Leave your big tree for a more cohesive look that blends with your everyday decor.
Here are a few tips on decorating a tree:
*Start with greens. Use a pretty pine stem to dress up a boring store bought tree. Attach the pine to the tree stems as extensions of your tree. It will give it a fuller and more realistic look.
*Add floral. Add flowers and leaves that you would not normally find in a tree. You can use flowers you may have in another space in the room. Use large and small sizes. You will be amazed how drastically this changes your tree.
*Stick with a color theme. Choose up to 4 main colors and stick with them. It will give your tree a very cohesive look.
*Use ornaments of every shape and size. This adds interest to your tree.
Think outside the box when putting up trees.
Put trees in your bedroom, bathtub, bathrooms, front porch, dining room, basement......
Make every room feel like the holidays...............
