It's officially December, so you know what that means — it's time to put up the Christmas tree. I vividly remember from my childhood the ordeal of getting the tree set up, baubles down from the attic, and string lights strung just right. It was always chaos followed by an unbeatable feeling of holiday cheer. But why not streamline the decorating madness and skip right to the merry?
Knowing how to sling the lights for an all-over twinkle, positioning the baubles in an even spread, fluffing the fir to the fullest degree... These are all important steps when decorating a Christmas tree. However, to further hone your Christmas tree decorating craft, knowing where you typically misstep is just as important. And for that, I spoke to designers to discover the biggest Christmas tree styling mistakes they see people make.
