Tips to Make Decorating the Tree Less Stressful

Several things are more traditional than a Christmas tree. Yet, decorating the tree can often feel like an unwelcome chore. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be that way. Instead, you can do a lot to make this year’s decorating become a holiday moment you look forward to each year. By using some of these useful concepts, you can make decorating your Christmas tree easier and much less stressful this year.

Choose a Smaller Tree

If you choose a fresh-cut tree each year – or even if you’re searching for an artificial tree for your Oviedo rental house – make things easier on yourself by choosing a smaller tree. While you may have room in your house for a tree that will impress from sheer size, it’s important to understand that the bigger the tree is, the longer it will take to decorate. If you don’t like to go too small, think about having a thinner tree that will fit neatly into a corner or in front of a window.

Choose a Theme

One more way to simplify your Christmas tree decorating is by making a theme for your tree. For instance, for a breathtaking tree that is easy to manage, choose a white tree, and decorate it with red cardinals for a simple but stunning display. Or, for a more personal touch, use photographs and twine to create ornaments out of your favorite memories. Even if you’ve got a wide collection of ornaments, you are not required to use all of them every year.

Decorate in Stages

Trying to buy a tree, set it up, get the lights on it, and then add ornaments is a long process. Instead of pushing yourself trying to do it all in one day, try breaking up the decorating process across multiple days. This is especially important if you are utilizing a fresh-cut tree since the branches will need time to relax after placing the tree in a stand. By giving yourself plenty of time, you can guarantee that you have the energy to make decorating your tree a pleasant event.

Use Good Quality Decorations

Even though it may be tempting to buy the cheapest string lights and ornaments you can find, doing so may not the best option. The use of high-quality string lights, ornaments, and other décor is necessary for making your experience decorating your tree as stress-free as possible. Good quality light strings are less likely to break, tangle, or burn out instantly. And good quality ornaments will often last through years of holidays. Make things less difficult for you by using quality decorations for your Christmas tree.

Enlist Help

Decorating a Christmas tree can be much less stressful with some additional helping hands. If appropriate, consider inviting others to help you set up and decorate your tree. Not only can the whole procedure go quicker, but your Christmas tree helpers may also inspire you to try decorating in a new or different way.

Use Fewer Ornaments

Make a statement with your Christmas tree this year by going big – where your ornaments are concerned, that is. Using fewer but greater ornaments, bows, garlands, and other items, you can build an astonishing statement tree more quickly and easily than ever before before. Just keep in mind to have the items you want to use on hand, and attach them to the branches with hooks or floral wire.

Label and Organize

Ultimately, the perfect solution to making decorating your Christmas tree less stressful is to start when you put your decorations away! As you box up your ornaments, light strings, and other décor items, label each box clearly with the contents. Opt for store-bought string light bobbins or even just a piece of thick cardboard to store lights neatly and prevent tangles. Stock your spare bulbs, ornament hooks, and extension cords in the same boxes with your tree décor for quick and easy access. By taking the time to label and organize your decorations, you can decorate your tree even faster the next year.
