The Science Behind Ornament Placement: Tips for Maximizing Your Tree’s Beauty
One of the biggest questions that people have when it comes to decorating their full artificial Christmas trees is just how many Christmas ornaments are you going to need to decorate these trees? After all, you want this tree to be beautiful and not having enough ornaments is one way that is going to affect the overall beauty of your tree. However, before you start with a set number, one question you need to ask is, do you want these full artificial Christmas trees to be loaded down to the max with ornaments or are you going for a more simple look? This is the main thing that will dictate just how many of these ornaments you are going to need to make your tree look great.
Ornament Styles to Consider for Your Full Artificial Christmas Tree
With this being said, here are some guidelines that you can use for full artificial Christmas trees when you are ready to decorate:
– With lights, you want about 100 of these lights per every foot of height on these full artificial Christmas trees. If you have trees that have these lights around there, then this is half the worry gone since these are numbered to be what professional decorators consider appropriate.
– The formula that many people use on their tree for the number of ornaments is the height of the tree means having 20 ornaments per the height of the tree.
– You then take in the width of the base and add in about 15 more ornaments per foot. Of course, these are just recommendations, keep in mind that if you have smaller ornaments, more will need to be used while larger ornaments will mean less since they take up more space.
– For larger ornaments, it is recommended that there be around 5 inches of space between one to the next large ornament. For smaller ornaments, the recommended distance between two small ornaments on your full artificial Christmas trees is around 3 inches.
– When it comes to garland, most people use anywhere from 2 to 4 feet of garland per foot of the height of the tree. Of course, this is once again a personal decision as to if you want a lot of garland or this just sparsely put onto the tree.
For those who find that this is the first year that they have used full artificial Christmas trees, they are going to find that they may not estimate their ornament use very good the first time. This is why when you are purchasing ornaments, you may want to buy a few more of the filler ornaments than what you had originally thought…just to be on the safe side.
Whether you go heavy with the ornaments or light on your full artificial Christmas trees, you will find that you will be happy. Remember, you can always add more or take away if you find that this is not the picture that you have had in your head with what you want the tree to look like.
