Glitter Christmas Decoration Crossword Clue
Festive styling experts reveal their tricks of the trade to help bring a professional finish to your Christmas decorating ideas
Jilly Mattley from Essentially Christmas Decorating says:
1. Don't be afraid to take a real Christmas tree out of its netting before you buy to ensure it's really fresh and a good shape.
2. A grey and silver colour palette is on-trend this year and gives a sophisticated look. Add deep purple decorations to the mix for an eye-catching accent of rich colour.
3. For a stylish money-saving idea, pick hydrangea flower heads from the garden and leave to dry. Once dry, cover with glittery gold or silver spray and place in the branches of your tree – they look fabulous!
Craig Roman, home and garden styling expert at Dobbies Garden Centres, advises:
4. For the most stylish overall effect, stick to a single theme throughout your home, such as a particular colour palette or festive style – rustic woodland, for example. Use your chosen look to highlight key focal areas – the front door, hallways and stairs, Christmas tree, dining table and mantlepiece.
5. Hang your biggest and heaviest decorations on the larger branches at the bottom of your tree. Then, work your way up the tree, hanging progressively smaller baubles as you go, with the most petite designs at the top. This will prevent the tree looking overfilled and top-heavy.
6. Short lengths of ribbon tied into bows are an elegant alternative to tinsel. Arrange them evenly spaced around the tree.
7. Scatter tiny baubles and sequins along the centre of a table runner to dress up your dining table.
8. For a professional bauble-hanging trick, fix decorations to the tree with fine wire, rather than string or ribbon. It's easier to control their position, rather than relying on where they hang.
Rune Sovndahl, founder and CEO of Fantastic Services, comments:
9. It's all too easy to be tempted to buy an array of different decorations, only to later find out that they all clash. It's worth working out what colours you're looking for before shopping around. Decide on two main shades with an accent colour to make your scheme really pop.
10. A naturally beautiful and easy decorative idea is to arrange a selection of pine cones in an attractive metal or glass dish or tray. For extra sparkle, apply glue to the tips and dip in glitter.
11. For a seriously short of time tip, if you have boxes of decorations but no time to dress your home, consider using a tree delivery, decorating and removal service, such as Fantastic Services.
Sajel Patel, marketing assistant from Pines and Needles, says:
12. Add a twisting tangle of tiny, battery-operated fairy lights to large, clear glass bowls or hurricane lamps to create a simply stunning centrepiece on your dining table.
13. Make sure your baubles are evenly distributed around the tree. If you place everything at the front there's a risk that the tree will be overbalanced and fall over.
14. For an on-trend styling idea, create a frosty Nordic-chic theme by spraying the branches of your real Christmas tree, evergreen wreath and garland with snow spray.
