How to Decorate a Christmas Tree

Love a traditional decorating theme? Our Christmas Cabin collection features hand-crafted pieces with a nostalgic, family feel. Start by wrapping your tree in warm fairy lights, then add quirky touches like this felt Father Christmas or velvet alphabet decorations. Nothing says Christmas quite like red and green – fill in any gaps in your tree with baubles in this colour palette to tie the whole look together.

Top tip: Using an artificial Christmas tree? Before you get out the decorations, it’s worth spending some time fluffing the branches, spreading them out one by one to make the tree look fuller.

Choosing a theme before you begin decorating is a clever way to create a professional-looking Christmas tree. Why not try our opulent Vintage Soirée scheme? Illuminate your tree with warm white fairy lights, then decorate with metallic tones, adding pearly white and deep grey accents for a touch of luxe. Playing with different finishes is a great way to elevate your theme – try mixing glitter, glass and matte baubles. Hanging decorations embellished with beading and sequins add a whimsical touch.

Top tip: Start by hanging the lights, whether you go for the more traditional horizontal round-and-around approach or the expert-approved up-and-down method popularised on TikTok.
