Great you’ve bought an artificial Christmas tree or brought your old one out. Now the best part is going to start decorating your tree. Now, you could decorate it haphazardly with loads of fun. But today, we want you to try something different by doing it scientifically. This technique can work with any tree, but we used a 7-foot Woodland Pine that remains a bestseller for this experiment.
Positioning Your Christmas Tree
Now, this is an essential factor to consider as you cannot place it just anywhere. It takes careful thought to find the correct position. Here are some things you can consider:
Whether you have a natural or artificial Christmas tree, you want to keep it away from a heat source. This is because your natural tree can dry out. Also, while the artificial tree might not set a light, it can damage your ornaments. Furthermore, you do not want the tree blocking the heat to the rest of the home. Also, consider lights as you want light shining into your living space. Neither should your tree block the view from outside, and you want to see your tree from different angles.
With these factors in mind, it is time for some feng shui, as where you place your artificial Christmas tree can make a difference in the energy inside your home. As the tree belongs in the forest and is a feng shui element, you should place it in the following places.
For health and family on the east side
For money and abundance, southeast
For fame and reputation on the south side
No matter where you decide to place your Christmas tree can also impact the Wi-Fi signal, so keep this in mind. Even those fairy lights on the tree can affect devices emitting radio waves. So, keep your tree at least here, meters away from devices.
The Density of Decorations
It all comes down to under or over-decorating your artificial Christmas trees. So, how much baubles and decoration do you need on your tree? You do this with GCSE math’s using the πrl formula. The ‘r’ is your radius of the tree base, while the ‘l’ is the length of the tree’s slanted side.
Hence, you can find the surface area to decorate on a 7-foot tree. It works roughly 46 square feet. So, for a good mix of greenery, lights, decorations, and tinsel. You will need two decorations for every square foot working out to 92 decorations for this tree. Still, this would change for different tree dimensions.
To decorate, you will have to add the weight of ornaments to the lower part not to look squashed at the top. Neither should you skim on the lights, and most experts say you need a strand of 100 lights for each vertical foot of your tree.
Therefore, you will need 700 lights in total for this tree. The same applies to tinsel by looking at the length of your lights and halving it.
The Color Scheme
The color scheme is essential, whether green, red, or any other two colors that work well together. The same goes for purple and yellow with ribbons in dark purple and gold. Or you can use silver, a shade of grey that remains a neutral color that goes with anything.
Okay, this might not have been the uppermost scientific way to decorate your artificial Christmas trees. But we at least hope that you can use some of the tips. You and the family need to have fun doing it.
