Let’s face it, styling your home can be a real blast. If you’ve ever had to hang down ornaments and set up for Christmas, then you’d have a clue.
Some of the best parts of Christmas are picking and styling artificial trees. But the hard part is choosing.
Although everyone has an idea of the best decor, not everyone knows how to choose it. Shopping for an artificial Christmas tree goes beyond simply picking one out at the store. Besides the cash, you need the hacks as well.
Although you may think the 12-foot artificial Christmas tree is the best for your space, you may be missing a few steps.
Would you like to know which tree size works best for your home during the holidays? Keep scrolling. We’ll tell you how to choose the right tree:
STEP 1: Get your tools for measuring
Before all else, get your tools set. Measuring will help you know just what you need, and if your desired 6-foot artificial Christmas tree will fit your space.
You’ll need a pen, measuring tapes, a paper and stepladder.
STEP 2: Approximate your ceiling’s height (using the ladder) and make a 6-inch deduction.
A good way to get an ideal height is to measure distance from ceiling to floor. Deduct 6 inches from the number and get a maximum height.
STEP 3: Get a total measurement of your display area
Measure the space you wish to set up your tree and subtract a foot—this is simply for clearance. While at it, ensure to cover the length of your floor area and subtract a foot.
STEP 4. Round off
Now is the time to get a total figure. Multiply width by length and you have the overall square footage of your floor area.
