Tree-mendous decorating tips to help you create the most magical Christmas display

The focal point of your home throughout the festive period; your Christmas Tree. Whether your preference is real or artificial, decorating your Christmas Tree is often a family occasion for you to all enjoy together, making cherished memories as you go. When it comes to Artificial Christmas Trees, the wide range we have will have you covered.

Christmas Tree Stands often aren't the prettiest things to look at and you may find that it distracts you from your beautiful decorating. However, this can easily be disguised by adding a Christmas Tree Skirt. Our range of Christmas Tree Skirts are suitable for both real and Artificial Christmas Trees and are able to compliment your décor beautifully, whether you want to match it to your white or gold Christmas Tree Lights, or want to tie it into your nature inspired theme, we have you covered.

An integral part of setting up your Artificial Christmas Tree is making sure it is 'fluffed' properly - taking it from being average to becoming a show-stopper. Depending on the size of your tree, it should take you around 45 minutes to thoroughly fluff and shape your Christmas Tree, starting with the lower branches and those closest to the central pole and working your way outwards. The trick is to move each tip on the branch upwards or to the side to appear like a peacocks tail, making sure that the direction of the tip in front differs to the one behind to ensure that the tree's 'trunk' is hidden. It is worthwhile noting that if you are fluffing a larger tree, that each section can be fluffed before attaching together to save you wobbling around on a ladder. Continue to take your time fluffing each branch as you work your way up to the top of the tree, taking the time to step back and view your work from afar, as this is often where you may notice gaps or too many branches directed the same way. Well, now it's time to decorate...
