A lot of the appeal from your Christmas tree will be to do with its shape and no amount of decorations can cover up an unsightly one. Of course, your first decision will be whether to choose a fake or real tree. There are pros and cons to each so it\u2019ll ultimately come down to your personal taste. <\/p>\n<p>But here are three tips for choosing the right tree:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The shape:<\/strong> A well-shaped tree will do wonders for your decoration. If you opt for a real tree then ensure to see it out of its netting as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The stand:<\/strong> Make sure you have a stand which will accommodate the tree base. Fake trees will often come with their own stand, whilst those with a real tree tend to fill a large bucket with soil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pre-lit trees:<\/strong> If you decide to buy a fake Christmas tree then choosing a pre-lit one could be your best bet. Setting up the lights can be a hassle and a pre-lit tree avoids the inconvenience in this part of decoration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/colour-scheme.jpg\" alt=\"colour scheme\" width=\"666\" height=\"706\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2133 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/colour-scheme.jpg 666w, https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/colour-scheme-283x300.jpg 283w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 666px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 666\/706;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The colour scheme<\/h2>\n<p>When you decorate a room in your home you\u2019ll always be keeping an eye on the colour scheme and this is exactly the same with the Christmas tree. Go with too many colours and it can look a mess. Consider the room your tree\u2019s in and ensure there isn\u2019t a clash of colours. <\/p>\n<p>Popular Christmas tree colour schemes include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Red and green:<\/strong> These are often seen as classic Christmas colours and are probably colours you\u2019ll see on most occasions. Many homeowners look to pick a metallic silver or gold colour to give a fantastic appeal. With the lights we\u2019d recommend choosing red, green or clear.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blue, silver and purple:<\/strong> It\u2019s winter after all, so why not consider some wintry colours for your Christmas tree? Don\u2019t mix these colours with red, yellow or gold though because there\u2019ll be a clash in contrast. Keep the glittering theme with some blue lights and choose white decorations for a snow-like finish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The metallic colours:<\/strong> Gold, silver and bronze have seen a lot more popularity over the last few years and if you choose this theme then you could opt for one, two, or all three of these colours. Clear lights are recommended to work best with metallic decoration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/theme2.jpg\" alt=\"tree theme\" width=\"666\" height=\"886\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2139 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/theme2.jpg 666w, https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/theme2-226x300.jpg 226w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 666px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 666\/886;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Christmas tree theme<\/h2>\n<p>Choosing a distinct theme for your Christmas tree can help you to create a cohesive look. For instance, some homeowners will pick angels, nutcrackers or even snowflakes as the reoccurring theme for the tree. Doing this will also help your tree to stand out from the crowd. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The ornaments:<\/strong> You\u2019ve probably collected tons of ornaments over the years from your Christmas tree exploits, and a particular theme will help you add to this collection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Christmas theme:<\/strong> If you haven\u2019t got a lot of money to spend on decorations then don\u2019t worry because you can simply choose a \u2018Christmas\u2019 theme for your tree. As long as there is a theme of some sort you can ensure your tree looks fantastic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/bauballs.jpg\" alt=\"tree decorations\" width=\"666\" height=\"445\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2137 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/bauballs.jpg 666w, https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/bauballs-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 666px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 666\/445;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Buying ornamental bulbs<\/h2>\n<p>The chances are you have plenty of these rattling around in your loft, but if not then definitely consider purchasing a few for your tree. Ornamental bulbs bring an elegant and sophisticated appeal to your tree that you can continue to use each year. <\/p>\n<p>Our tips include: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<\/li>\n<p><strong>Multipacks:<\/strong> Obviously any multipack will help you save money rather than buying individually. Pick up a few multipacks and even buy a few individual ones to mix it up a little if you want to. Just make sure not to over or under decorate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Matte or shiny:<\/strong> Bulbs that reflect light will have a beautiful effect on your Christmas tree, so we\u2019d always suggest choosing shiny or matte variations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Similar sizes:<\/strong> Mix and match different sizes at your peril as we\u2019ve always found it best to keep a similar size for the bulbs on your tree. Of course, a few variations in size can add visual interest but don\u2019t go overboard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/lights2.jpg\" alt=\"choosing lights\" width=\"666\" height=\"444\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2141 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/lights2.jpg 666w, https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/lights2-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 666px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 666\/444;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The Christmas tree lights<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to the lights it\u2019s best to go small than big. Tiny twinkles of light serve a better purpose for your tree than larger plastic bulbs and you can easily create a whimsical appeal. Don\u2019t forget, the lights are there as background, rather than being the focal point \u2013 that\u2019s for your ornaments!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Keep basic:<\/strong> As we\u2019ve mentioned, your Christmas lights shouldn\u2019t be the focal point of the tree. It\u2019s all too easy to become wrapped up in shop promotions but don\u2019t go for lights that flash or play music. It can quickly become an annoyance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The colour:<\/strong> Colour is always vital with the Christmas tree and if you want a safe bet with the lights then white would be the choice for you. Many homeowners will pick a red, blue or green but you have to ensure not to clash with other decorations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas is just around the corner, so if you have yet to set up your tree in the corner of the living room, it\u2019s certainly &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Five great tips for your Christmas tree\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/seasonal\/five-great-tips-christmas-tree\/#more-2124\" aria-label=\"Read more about Five great tips for your Christmas tree\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2129,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,15],"tags":[245,246],"class_list":["post-2124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interior-design","category-seasonal","tag-christmas-decorations","tag-christmas-tree","infinite-scroll-item","masonry-post","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33","resize-featured-image"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Five great tips for your Christmas tree - Local Quotes Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"It&#039;s that time of the year when your Christmas tree makes an appearance, so how can you ensure to have a look to be proud of?
