There\u2019s no wrong way to trim a tree, but there are certainly some useful pointers to help make your Christmas tree look its absolute best.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Christmas tree tips are definitely needed this time of year. After all, the ornament-bedecked and glittering fir (or spruce . . . or pine) is the centerpiece of your holiday decor. There\u2019s no wrong way to trim a tree, but there are certainly some useful pointers to help make your Christmas tree look its absolute best. Whether your tree this year is artificial or real, check out the helpful decorating tips below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>1. Hang Lights Right<\/strong><br \/>\nWhite, multicolored, LED, incandescent \u2014 there are many different ways to set your Christmas tree aglow. However, there\u2019s one best way to hang them: Work your way from the bottom up. After you check your bulbs and set up your extension cord, wrap the lights around your tree from bottom to top. If you have extra, re-wrap them from the top going down.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. Organize Your Ornaments<\/strong><br \/>\nHere\u2019s one of those Christmas tree tips that often gets overlooked: Have a strategy with your ornaments. Pick a theme or a color palette and lay out your ornaments before you get started. Start by hanging simple ornaments; they make a beautiful backdrop for your sentimental favorites such as homemade decorations or home-team ornaments. Be sure to hang ornaments inside the tree \u2014 not just on outer branches \u2014 for dimension.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3. Top It Off<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can never go wrong with a classic angel or star to top your Christmas tree, but you can also add whimsy and elegance in other ways. Try topping your tree with a monogram letter as a simple salute to your family, or add rustic charm with a burlap bow. A Santa hat also adds a fun finishing touch \u2014 and it couldn\u2019t be easier to place on top or readjust.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. Don\u2019t Skirt Around It<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile Christmas trees traditionally have a tree skirt, don\u2019t be afraid to venture away from the usual this holiday. Some creative alternatives include tree collars and baskets and even galvanized buckets. It\u2019s a way to make a fun statement and bring some festive cheer to the base of your tree. If your tree is themed, it\u2019s the perfect opportunity to tie it all together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A Christmas tree sets the tone for your entire home\u2019s holiday decor. It\u2019s the place where Christmas morning unfolds \u2014 and it\u2019s the backdrop to so many memories before then. Try the Christmas tree tips above to create a majestic, beautiful tree in your DFW home.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.coldwellbanker.com\/4-christmas-tree-tips-for-your-most-majestic-tree-yet\/\" target=\"_blank\">Christmas Tree Tips for Your Most Majestic Tree Yet<\/a> by Audrey Sellers | Coldwell Banker Blue Matter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Christmas tree sets the tone for your entire home\u2019s holiday decor.
