Caring for Your Christmas Tree: 4 Helpful Tips for First-Time Custom Homeowners

First-time custom homeowners should not be restrained by the classic notions of what a Christmas tree’s theme should be.

December may bring chilly weather, but it’s also a joyous time. In fact, it can be a wonderland of pretty lights and cheerful songs. No matter what end-of-the-year occasion you celebrate, there are many ways to deck the halls in decorations that reflect your beliefs. Even if those aren’t the same as your neighbors, at the very least you can uphold what you most value around Christmastime. Here’s the first part in a short series on how to prepare for the holiday rush. Caring for natural trees starts with adequate watering, so don’t overlook that fact!
Try Out All the Trimmings
As pretty as the bare tree can be to look at, it’s ultimately an empty canvas. So, if this is your first time to create the tree setup you’ve always wanted but been unable to realize, then you can start by trying out different combinations of trimmings. Colorful lights, cute ornaments, bright ribbons, and interesting trinkets can all bring a new dimension to this year’s tree.
Pick a Fun Decoration Theme
What sort of aesthetic or vibe have you been trying to achieve? The rest of your home will have a large bearing on the answer to that question. First-time custom homeowners should not be restrained by the classic notions of what a Christmas tree’s theme should be. Striking a balance between unity and contrast can make the entire configuration even more visually appealing – so indulge your imagination with whatever hobbies, interests, or passions are special to you.
Select the Best Tree for You
Now for the big part – how to find the right tree for your needs. Many first-timer custom homeowners overlook this part because they are tempted to go all out. For instance, you could be happy to be traditional. Examples of this design choice include precious family heirlooms, miniature gingerbread houses, and tree-topping stars. That said, this process can be lengthy. Buying a pre-cut tree is a fine idea, as is going to a farm and cutting it down yourself. Artificial trees are less of a hassle, especially since they are less likely to activate allergies, but the whole experience might lose some of the fun.
Add the String Lights
Last but not least, don’t forget to wrap the string lights around the width of the tree! The lights you choose are bound to be smaller than the ones you decorate your custom home’s exterior elements with, but there are some types that can work inside as well. LED lights are more energy-efficient options, and if that sounds good to you, then don’t hesitate to follow through on them. It’s your tree, make it yours! And if you feel like you’d need more room to bring this to fruition, well then get in touch!
