Choosing the right pre-lit Christmas tree for your home

There are just a few tree problems you can’t fix right in your home. No, you need not empty your pocket—and you may never need to employ the services of an expert. All you need to know is here!

Usually, problems arise when light strings go dark, or when the new tree is being assembled. And one method for troubleshooting is to test the light strings to identify the faulty bulb, or simply install new, working light strings.

Trees don’t arrive as depicted on the website. The “fluffing” process is what gives each tree its own unique shape, and adding the next section of the tree should be done after shaping the lowest section.

Consequently, each inner tip can be lifted up and out, and lower branches are often expandable so they can also be lifted. The branches themselves can be lifted or moved, and the tips of the branches can be lifted as well.

If desired, tree tips can be angled downward or left straight. And lights should be plugged in before each section is fluffed.

Storage tips for Christmas trees

Do you wrestle trees? If you spend an excessive amount of time trying to cram your fluffed Christmas tree into the original box that’s been taped severally, only to have pieces break out of the sides, then yes is simply the answer.

The more you store your tree correctly, the longer your tree will stay full and beautiful. More so, you can bypass the hassle that comes with re-packing your smashed-up tree the next year. A properly-sized bag is the very best way to store a tree.

You can avoid bends, deformities, and damage to your tree’s delicate lights, lights wires, and connectors with tree storage bags.

The Christmas season is, like Eden, never complete without a tree. From its elegance to its subtle addition of sparkle, there’s no doubt that the Christmas tree will make a statement in just any home. It brings festivity and gets you right in the Christmas mood.

Looking to style your space with elegant trees this Christmas? Try flocked. The flocked Christmas tree stands tall amongst several over Christmas trees available on the market. It evokes creativity and draws out the classic winter wonderland vibe —all with frosted, shiny snow covering your tree.

Below, you’ll find some of the best ways to match colors, particularly with the best flocked trees. Enjoy!

Metallic gold plus shades of silver and grey

Here’s one color combo that’s certainly not new. They may not stick out so much but calmly enhance the look of your tree.  Having metallic decor on your tree is quite trendy, so let’s turn your flocked Christmas tree into something unique. 

Flocked artificial Christmas trees are stunning with glitter, matte and glossy metallic silver, copper and gold finishes. Dallas designers love to use all shades of these colors at the same time.  And if you want to create a more neutral look, you could mix white ornaments with metallic ones.  The use of bulky metallic ornaments is also in style today.

Just employ creativity and have fun.

Red background, white décor, and green extras

The traditional colors of Christmas never go out of style.  The flocked tree will look great with a plaid ribbon, and the rustic feel of burlap will make it stand way out.  Designers like to use pearl or all-white ornaments because they look chic and refined.  Christmas trees decorated in red and white are bold choices, but look rather traditional.
