Follow our suggestions and helpful tips below.
Where To Put Your Christmas Tree
Visibility is key when you want to set a picture-perfect festive scene. Aside from the living room, there are plenty of prime decorating spots to consider:
Front Porch
Make a delightful first impression with clusters of mini pre-lit trees on your front porch – a perfect way to spread cheer from day to night.
Foyer or Entryway
Welcome guests with a warm, festive greeting the moment they walk in. Use a slim or narrow tree for smaller areas to make the most of your space.
By the Staircase
Dress up that bare corner with a grand Christmas display. Consider placing a coordinating garland on the handrail, too.
By the Fireplace
Create a cosy, inviting atmosphere with the glow of the hearth and twinkling tree lights. Just remember to keep your tree at a safe distance from any heat source.
Family Room or Den
Give your family gatherings a festive backdrop. Homemade or heirloom baubles add warmth and a personal touch to this cosy setting.
Dining Room
Dine in style with a beautiful tree taking pride of place. A sparse or slim tree makes a chic, space-saving statement.
Kitchen
Bring the festive spirit into one of the busiest parts of the house – a great idea to consider for open-layout floor plans.
Patio
Let the festive twinkle of outdoor-safe, potted Christmas trees brighten up al fresco entertaining areas.
By Wide Windows
Create a natural focal point with a beautiful tree display you can view from different angles, even from outside.
Bedroom
Make decorating more personal by placing a mini or tabletop tree in each bedroom. It’s a lovely tradition for children and adults alike.
Do’s and Don’ts
- Do pick a spot near an electrical outlet to eliminate potentially risky extension cords.
- Do consider your overall space and home's layout – it might make more sense to display multiple, smaller trees across rooms. Consider tabletop options, too.
- Don't block high-touch, high-traffic areas like light switches and doorways. People can accidentally dislodge baubles or trip over lower branches.
- Don't block vents and grates to ensure proper airflow free of obstructions.
