Get a high-quality artificial tree: With a high-quality Christmas tree, you can put your decorations on a sturdy and reliable stand that can withstand repeated use year after year. Choosing a traditional tree over a trend-driven one will keep it from going out of style after a few years, and its foundation is perfect for layering and decorating ornaments in an ornament mall.
Branch fluffing and shaping: It is a time-consuming task, but the result is well worth it. You can make your Christmas tree look fuller and more natural by fluffing its branches in an ornament mall. Do not hesitate to bend individual branches to fill in gaps, and separate the branches so they fan out to cover as much area as possible. If the tree is properly shaped, regardless of how minimal or lavish it is embellished, it is always an appealing sight. In order to prevent any scrapes to your hands and arms, be sure to wear gloves and long sleeves if possible.
Theme-driven design: Choosing a theme before selecting your decorations gives you a clear idea of how you should decorate your tree. A professional-looking Christmas tree has a central look that ties the decorations together. Want some inspiration?

For an icy cool look, layer shades of blue and silver, for an icy cool look, or choose a combination of red and gold for a traditional yet opulent look or white and soft neutrals for a Scandi vibe. Keep the look contained rather than cluttered by sticking to two (no more than three) colors. You can decorate a Scandinavian-inspired or minimalist tree with paper and wooden decorations, and a luxe tree can be enhanced by plush velvet baubles.
Lights are the first thing to check: It is popular to buy prelit Christmas trees, but if you have a plain tree (real or artificial), you will need Christmas tree lights as well. According to Lights4fun’s lighting experts, 100 bulbs or 5 metres of lights are needed for every 2ft of Christmas tree. Therefore, for a 6ft tree, 300 bulbs or 15 metres are required.
