"Expert Christmas Tree Decorator Reveals 7 Hidden Tips for a More Stylish Tree in the Current Year"
David Lawson, a renowned professional Christmas tree designer, has been creating enchanting holiday displays for six years. Despite there being no formal training for the role, David honed his skills in decoration, design, and crafts through vocational training and courses in creative arts and design.
David's approach to Christmas tree decorating is unique and imaginative. He advises building your collection of decorations gradually, adding a few new elements each year. For a more layered and unexpected look, he suggests incorporating objects you wouldn't normally find on a Christmas tree.
David's Instagram account, @davidlawsondesign, offers a glimpse into his magical creations. He recommends having the right tools for the job, such as floral vine wire, snips, and a gift wrap cutter. Taking time to fluff out every branch of an artificial tree, he says, ensures a fuller look.
When it comes to choosing Christmas decorations, David plays with scale, using giant baubles and oversized bows for added drama and fun. He finds the floral vine wire and snips essential for securely attaching baubles and cutting foliage.
David's tips for placement are practical yet thoughtful. He recommends saving the most special Christmas decorations for the last and choosing prime locations for them. For a subtle, magical glow, he suggests not over-lighting your Christmas tree.
If you're looking for a statement piece at the base of your tree, David sometimes uses oversized ornaments instead of a traditional tree skirt. His golden rules for decorating a Christmas tree have been shared by huge interior design accounts and publications worldwide.
David's final advice? Have fun with Christmas tree decorating. If you love it, he says, it's the best decorated tree.
Pricing for some of his decorations includes a 6" bauble at $10 and a supersized bow (for five) at $18.99.
Requests for David's services led him to set up David Lawson Design six years ago, where he continues to create enchanting Christmas displays for others to enjoy.
