Artificial Christmas trees are now more realistic than ever before. Here's how to find the most authentic tree and get the most bang for your buck.
Gone are the days of stiff, flimsy, plastic trees. Artificial trees are now more realistic than ever before, and they are growing in popularity.
Making an investmentJust as fake trees can be found in all sizes, they can also be found in all price ranges. The quality of the tree and additional accents will affect the pricing. And there is a vast range depending on size, features and quality. Example, a 7-foot-tall, pre-lit PVC tree can range from $99 to $1,500. Regardless of budget, there is a faux tree out there for you. Depending on your budget, try to invest in the"showcase" tree in the house.
If you choose a pre-lit fake tree, look for one that is labeled"continuous on" or"with burn-out protection." This means that if a single bulb on the strand burns out, the rest of the lights stay on. Professional organizer Shira Gill, whose new book,"Minimalista" , offers decluttering tips, also suggests going biodegradable. String a popcorn and cranberry garland for window boxes or railings, or make a front-door wreath out of tree trimmings or fallen twigs.Holiday lodge If heading off to a cozy cabin is more aspirational than doable, you can still achieve the chalet vibe.
Garlands of all kinds of greenery can warm up the look of railings or frame doorways. Leave them au naturel, or dress them with metallic accents and small decorations for your overall theme.
