Create a Christmas Tree Forest in Your Living Room

Pack a big holiday punch into smaller rooms by grouping thinner, medium-sized trees together. Multiple trees allow you the flexibility to decorate all trees the same or let each tree stand out with its own, unique style.

A key element to creating a well-designed Christmas tree is to use a mix of textures. As you start decorating your trees, consider the textural value of sleeker, polished ornaments. Add a small band of twine around the ornaments to create depth.

If you're looking for a formal look that errs on the traditional side, antique mercury glass accents are a stunning addition to a Christmas tree. In addition to adding a bit of glamour, the finish of the glass will reflect light in a beautiful way, enhancing the tree's ambience.

Give old wooden spools new life by using them as ornaments. To make one, simply add twine or a wire ornament to the center of the spool.
