Christmas decor can take many forms and the most traditional form is probably bringing a large, ornate Christmas tree into home. However, only an ornamental tree is not enough to give the home a Christmas spirit. It is necessary to complement the tree by adjusting, adapting, adding, and changing the decor of the rest of the room too. Here some helpful tips.
Perfect for small spaces

Choosing the Right Christmas Tree Size
The size of the Christmas tree does matter. It is better to choose one that your selected space can reasonably hold. Living or dining room is the right place if the tree is big enough. On the other hand, a relatively small tree is preferable if you want to place it in the bedroom.
Select a Focal Point
Decorating a place becomes easier if you can select a focal point. The Christmas tree will be a great focal point and help you to decide on the decoration of the surroundings. Do everything to make it gorgeous and special but never choose more than one focal point because it will make any room – big or small – crowded and confusing.
Free up Space in your Room
Do not cram so many things in the room so that it looks busy and narrow. Christmas is a great familial as well as social occasion. So, the decoration of your room should facilitate conversation and socializing. Free up your space for sitting, holding the holiday get-togethers, and displaying the tree. If the tree is in the living room, you can make space and create conversation areas by removing the sofa, adding some chairs, placing some area rugs, and adding one or two ottomans. A piece of versatile furniture that can be used for both sitting or as a coffee table – depending upon your needs – will be great for the room.
Decorate the rest of your room around your tree

Decorate the Rest of the Room
The seating, floors, windows, walls, and tables should also be decorated to complement the Christmas tree. The regular window treatments can be replaced with shades, blinds, valance, or curtains in warm greens, reds, and gold tones. Place plush Christmas throws and slipcovers on seating arrangements like couches and chairs. Decorate the floors with holiday-themed area rugs while cover the walls with festive wallpaper.
