The benefits of an artificial Christmas tree
When it comes to Christmas decorations, the centerpiece of your home decor is the Christmas tree. While some prefer a real tree that gives off that fresh aroma and reminds them of the holiday season, others opt for an artificial tree for various reasons. The most significant advantage of an artificial Christmas tree is that it is low maintenance and can be used year after year. It also eliminates the need for watering, meaning no mess or hassle in cleaning up fallen needles. Artificial trees can also be customized to meet your design preferences. They can come pre-lit, meaning you don’t have to fuss with untangling lights, saving time and electricity consumption.
Types of artificial Christmas trees
Three distinct types of artificial Christmas trees exist – PVC, PE, and a combination. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) trees are typically the most affordable and widely available, with branches made from various PVC and metal. These trees don’t usually have a natural look, but they are easy to assemble and offer a sturdy base for ornaments and decorations.
PE (Polyethylene) trees have a more natural look and feel than PVC trees, with branches made from molded plastic. They often have more variety in branch shape and texture, making them a good choice for those who want a tree that resembles a real one. However, PE trees can be more expensive than PVC trees, requiring more time and effort when set up.
Combination trees are a mix of PVC and PE materials, providing the best of both worlds. They are also expensive but offer the most realistic look and feel.
When you are selecting an artificial Christmas tree, keep in mind the height, fullness, and color of the tree. An entire tree will provide more room for decorations, while a smaller tree may be easier to set up. Consider the height of your ceiling, as you want your tree to be manageable! You can also choose from a green or a white tree to match your home decor theme, with the latter resembling a snowy winter day.
Once you’ve chosen your tree, it’s time to decorate it with shimmer and shine. A snowy winter day-inspired decoration scheme can include white string lights, glittery baubles, and metallic ornaments. Add some sparkle to your tree with tinsel, garlands, and ribbons that reflect light and create an eye-catching display. Set out some glittery table decorations and candleholders to finalize the theme to complement your tree’s design.
In conclusion, choosing the perfect artificial Christmas tree involves considering your home decor, personal preferences, and budget. While real trees may be nostalgic for many, artificial trees are low maintenance and customizable to meet your specific design needs. Whether you opt for a PVC, PE, or combination tree, it should resemble a clean and fresh winter wonderland – a stunning centerpiece that will make Christmas morning unforgettable and magical.
