What Should You Consider When Buying Christmas Tree Decoration Sets?
Make sure you check for the following things before buying tree décor:
-
Christmas Tree Size
Find the ideal ratio between the number of baubles and the size of your Christmas tree. That’s the key to have a polished seasonal display. Aside from the number of baubles used, make sure that your baubles’ sizes are proportional to the size of your tree. For more details, use our christmas tree decorations calculator.
-
Christmas Tree Shape
When shopping for beautiful Christmas baubles, keep the shape of your tree in mind. full trees have a wide silhouette. The lush foliage and sturdy branches can support several baubles of different sizes. Meanwhile, sparse trees leave room for bigger baubles in between branches. For slim trees, we recommend a lighter coverage to avoid weighing them down.
-
Versatility
Baubles for Christmas trees can be used more than once even if you choose different decorating themes every year. Combine various pieces or add new accents to give your display a refreshed look season after season. Many artificial Christmas tree decorations can also be repurposed. Place them in a bowl to make a festive centrepiece or shelf décor. Use them with wreaths and garlands, too.
How Do You Store Christmas Tree Baubles?
When putting away tree décor for safekeeping, carefully place them in Balsam Hill’s storage boxes with compartments. These are designed to keep them in good condition until the next season. Make sure to place the boxes in a clean, dry storage area to protect them from the elements.

- Glass – The most common and versatile out of all materials, glass Christmas baubles come in different shapes like balls and icicles. They also add a subtle shimmer to your tree when they catch the light.
