Giving your Christmas tree more depth is easy when you use certain styling techniques with Christmas ornaments and other decorations. Read below to learn how to make your tree look fuller this holiday season.
Add Layers
Layer Christmas tree ornaments to give it a fuller appearance. Place larger pieces at branches nearest to the trunk of the tree, then hang smaller ones towards the front to create depth and dimension. You can also add ribbons in a cascading style to complement your theme.
Use Different Ornament Types
Using a variety of ornament types, shapes, and textures is another great Christmas tree filler idea. Hang baubles next to finials or mix and match glass, metal, and fabric ornaments for visual interest. When using pieces from different ornament sets, follow a color scheme for a cohesive look.
Cluster Ornaments
Group ornaments instead of spacing them out evenly around the tree. Not only will this create a fuller, more visually appealing look but it’s also a way to fill in gaps between branches. Use thread or nylon to string together individual pieces or choose Christmas tree decorations that come clustered for convenience.
Experiment With Colors
A well-thought-out color scheme can make your tree seem fuller and more uniform. Go for tones of the same color or use complementary hues for a bolder approach. You can also stick to traditional holiday shades for a classic theme or modern ones like blue, purple, or pink for a more contemporary look.
Incorporate Lights
Use Christmas lights to create depth and add warmth to your design. Hang your own or go for Pre-lit trees for easier setup. Choose between Clear LED for a soft glow or color-changing bulbs for a more festive theme.
