Christmas:the best way to hang garlands is not the one you think

There are a little more than two weeks left before Christmas Eve, and we imagine that for most of you, the glittering tree now sits in a corner of the living room. How's that, no ? Well if a last minute decoration deprives you of the advantage of being happier on a daily basis (yes, yes, it's proven!), it can on the other hand allow you to have a tree more beautiful than the others. Indeed, the American interior decoration expert Francesco Bilotto revealed to the site HouseBeautiful a trick to make the tree more harmonious and, clearly, nobody applies it. It concerns the luminous garlands:instead of wrapping them around the trunk horizontally, it is necessary to favor a vertical installation, which starts from the foot to the top.

Pretty… and practical

Why ? Simply to make the lights more visible between the branches. “In this way, each parcel of the tree that separates the branches will shine with a thousand lights […] The other good side is that when removing the tree, it will be much easier to remove the garlands that will be more accessible from the outside rather than fighting with the branches [to get them] inside “, explains the professional. Not stupid at all! And we must admit that the rendering, certainly different from what we are used to seeing, is just as charming. We suspect that those who have already installed the tree will not be motivated to undo it to follow this advice, but we can always keep it in the back of our minds for next year!
