You have your perfect styled green artificial Christmas tree ready to put up in the living room. Now, all that remains is to decorate your tree with some Christmas color and wow your guests. But what color scheme should you use on your tree this year? Find out here the answer to this vital question.
Go With the Fuzzy Festive Traditional Christmas Tree Colors
Red and green have always been traditional color schemes for the festive season. You see it in the holly to cheerful flowers standing out in most homes for centuries. But, the truth is these colors remain popular. Dress up your green artificial Christmas trees with some red baubles. Or you can add your own twist by swapping out your green tree for a white one with red and gold baubles.
Go With a Frosty Christmas
Yes, coordinating the traditional colors of red and green is easy. Still, things become trickier if you have a white Christmas tree. First, you can dress your snow tree with gold baubles to dazzle your guests using a precious metal motif.
Alternatively, you can use the frosty scheme of your white tree all through the home to create a winter wonderland. Finally, deck out your living room with white baubles, a mix of iced blue baubles, and some silver decorations to make your tree stand out.
Go Wild With Colors
Another trend is mixing things with purples, coppers, oranges, and Aquas. You can adorn your tree with a combination of white and pink baubles to make it look playful. Alternatively, you can mix pink and ice white baubles with some cream-colored decorations.
Dark Green Artificial Christmas Tree Color Scheme
If you prefer something tall yet dark but handsome, then a dark color scheme for your tree might work. Hence, why not pair a midnight blue bauble with some white tree lights to dress up a greyish tree to give it that sophisticated look.
If you have a navy Christmas, then some blue and silver baubles can do the trick. It will make your fake Christmas tree look so fine. But you can go all different and give your tree a gothic look if you want to go all dark and pagan.
Add in a Mix of Christmas Lights
Even your Christmas lights come in a wide selection of colors to match your color scheme.
- You can go all red with the lights for your traditional Christmas theme while adding metallic red, green, and gold baubles.
- For your frosted Christmas color, go all blue with the lights or add some sparkling white sunlight into the mix to make the decorations stand out.
- Or give your tree a subtle glow with amber lights or even multicolored Christmas lights.
- Your dark green-themed artificial Christmas tree will even look great with some sparkling white lights to showcase your gothic theme to show there is some light somewhere in between the mix.
Storing Your Christmas Lights
The best thing about an unlit artificial Christmas tree is that you can add any lights to it to display the tree and decorations. Yet, when the time comes to decorate your tree and untangle that web of lights, it becomes very frustrating.
This is a common problem found in many homes and can be solved when taken down for storage. However, when you take your time packing the lights neatly away, you make your next decorating of your tree a pleasure. Here are some helpful tips to achieve this.
Start Taking Down The Lights Carefully
Unwind the lights from the tree carefully when taken down. You want them free of any tangles before you place them in storage. If your children have the job of removing the lights, always keep supervision in not pulling those cords too hard.
It is also best to check for frayed wires, loose connections, and broken bulbs. Then, fix your lights and replace bulbs before placing them in storage. You can also separate all your lights into colors or by room to know which ones go for the next festive season.
