The Christmas tree is the focal point of any holiday décor. A majestic tree with all its style and grace should be an eye-grabbing feature that lights up your entire home and a symbol to welcome all those who cross the threshold.

Take a little decorative risk and opt for extravagance with a statement-making tree that will enliven your home and wow your guests. Whether you’re set on a colour scheme, love one style, or have heirloom ornaments you can’t wait to use, your tree should reflect your taste and personality.

The secret to decorating a beautiful Christmas tree is simple: style in layers!

Step One: Selecting Your Tree

Whether your choice of tree is one freshly cut from the cool hills of the Blue Mountains or your preference is the convenience of a faux one, the key to a beautiful Christmas tree starts with having a full-bodied tree.

Step Two: Choosing Your Lights

Don’t skimp on the lights. A generously lit tree has a magical effect. Having enough lights that are strategically placed and are of the same type (warm, white or LED) will aid in illuminating your various decorations.

Step Three: Hanging Your Ornaments

Be generous with your decorations but know when it’s enough. Often a tree that is too sparse looks unfinished and a tree that is heavily decorated can at times hide the beauty of the tree itself. Selecting ornaments of varying sizes and types with a common theme or colour scheme creates a harmonious and cohesive Christmas tree.

Whether you’re looking to create the perfect tree to match your existing décor or you want to celebrate the season by incorporating the traditional red and white colours, following these style tips will have you creating an enviable Christmas tree.
