Whether your tree is the focal point or a piece of an altogether larger scheme it's the ideal place to introduce a magical glow to your home. Plump for a real fir or a spruce and you'll have enough depth to weave your Christmas tree lights deep into the centre, snaking throughout creating a gorgeous gleam from within. Artificial trees tend to be rather sparse along the branches, so you’ll need to hang your lights from the outer edges so they'll stay in place. Don’t be afraid to embrace a colourful theme! They can ooze personality if planned thoughtfully. Team whites with an accent colour and your Christmas tree can be festive & fun. We love to see a hint of sparkle, bronze or silver metallics work wonderfully with white walls and subtle lights. Dark cables blend better in your tree, however, a clear cable can be a lovely feature if worked with light coloured decorations.
