Winter Woodland Christmas Trees
Pinecones and evergreen tree prints will give you a Narnia feeling that’s just right for Christmas. Of course, it’s always winter with a flocked tree…
Look for trees that are only partly flocked to get a more natural look. A hint of deep green peeking through gives a freshly-fallen effect instead of an Arctic blanket of snow.
This Christmas tree idea makes a brilliant compromise if you want to trim it with your favourite decorations. You don’t have to jump wholeheartedly into the trend, it’s just traditional enough to carry off a classic bauble collection.
Or take your woodland Christmas decorations in a different direction. Trees like the Gisela Graham Gisela Graham Twig Snowy Paper Tree sets evergreens aside for bare branches dusted by a hint of snow.
It gives a new meaning to the idea of a flocked Christmas tree, and challenges you to switch up your tree decorating strategy. The smaller size makes it perfect for smaller flats or as a second tree if you want to spread Christmas cheer through a larger home.
The Loveliest White Branches
If you’re looking for a nearly all-white backdrop to your Christmas baubles, look for branches that are closer together. When you unpack it, take the time to arrange them layer by layer. Cover the gaps by angling the branches and you’ll get closer to the results you see on the packaging.
Flocked Christmas trees with deeper coverage of fake snow snow will help you get that photo-ready finish. This tree from Very fits the bill, with its lush white branches and pre-lit glow.
How to Light Your Flocked Tree Just Right
There’s a secret to lighting your flocked Christmas tree. Actually, this is a time-saving tip whichever tree you choose. Pre-lit trees already have their own bulbs spaced neatly through the branches, taking the guesswork out of what is essentially one of the boring jobs before the fun begins.
And of course, you don’t have to cover your lounge in tangled strings of last year’s lights either. If you choose regular Christmas light strings, remember to wind them around a piece of cardboard ready for next year.
For the true winter 2019-20 flocked tree finish, consider warm white lights for a winter sunlight glow. Bright white lights will give it a blueish tinge that’s all icy-cool beauty.
