Color-Coordinated Elegance

Ashish Aggarwal, Director, Indo Innovations, says, “To achieve a polished look, pick colors that complement your decorations. Whether it’s the classic red and green, elegant gold and silver, or trendy pastel shades, sticking to a color theme creates a neat and professional appearance. Enhance the festive atmosphere by lightly dusting the branches with fake snow, giving your tree a snowy allure.” Add a personal touch with handmade bows, mixing fabrics, colors, and textures for a creative vibe. Elevate the magic by strategically placing fairy lights closer to the middle, making your tree appear deeper and enchanting from every angle.

Nature-Inspired Charm

For Saumitra Singh, Managing Director, The Tigress Resort and Spa, Ranthambore, bringing the outdoors inside by adding pinecones, cinnamon sticks, or dried citrus slices to your tree is one trick that never fades away. Use twine to attach them for a charming, natural look that not only smells great but also adds a touch of nature to your holiday decor. “Get creative with budget-friendly paper ornaments, such as origami shapes, paper snowflakes, or garlands, involving the whole family in festive fun. Incorporate elegant ribbons or garlands for sophistication, weaving them in a spiral pattern or draping them vertically. Create cherished memories with personalized mini photo hangings, framing family pictures or special moments to warm hearts throughout the season,” shares Singh.

Strategic Placement

Nidhi Aggarwal, Founder, SpaceMantra, adds, “Enhance your tree with clever touches, starting with a colorful tree skirt that matches your theme for a finishing touch. Use small gift boxes as cute decorations, wrapped in festive paper and tied with ribbons for a charming effect. Experiment with unique, handcrafted, or themed tree toppers that complement your decor.”

Increase the sparkle with shiny additions like mirrored or metallic ornaments strategically placed to catch the light, turning your tree into a captivating focal point from all angles.

Now armed with these expert tips, embark on the journey of giving your Christmas tree a festive makeover. Enjoy the delightful experience of decorating with family and friends, and let your tree sparkle with holiday spirit throughout the season.
