Collecting your own magical forest is no less pleasant than admiring it.

During new year holidays the whole world becomes fabulous and magical. Today it is difficult to imagine a holiday without a Christmas tree - an elegant, fluffy forest beauty, which is a real decoration of the house in these holidays. The custom of decorating a Christmas tree brought from the forest appeared in Russia in the first half of the 19th century. This tradition came to us from the Germans. They decorated the forest beauty under.

Interesting fact . The first Christmas trees, already decorated with toys and sweets, were sold in Russia in ... confectioneries! But over time, everything fell into place: Christmas tree bazaars were noisy, where everyone could buy a tree to their taste and afford.

And what does the New Year smell like? "Christmas tree!" - everyone will say, remembering their childhood. But in last years, when people thought about preserving nature, they increasingly prefer artificial trees. Regardless of which Christmas tree you choose (real or artificial), where it is placed in the house is also important in order to attract happiness and prosperity.

Where to put a Christmas tree at home?

Try to buy a magnificent Christmas tree, rounded in shape - pass by the skinny and bald ones, so that in the coming year life does not become as meager as they are.

Ideally, the Christmas tree should be placed in the most empty corner of the apartment or main room. Here it will attract all the benefits at once and fill your life with interesting events.

For those who are waiting for big changes in the coming year, it is better to put the forest beauty in a special place:

1. To strengthen family relationships, place a Christmas tree against the wall to the left of the door, but not in the corner.
2. The Christmas tree will make life more interesting and brighter if you put it in the far right corner of the room (from the entrance).
3. You can strengthen finances if you put a Christmas tree in the far left corner. It would be nice to decorate it with coins wrapped in foil, and tie the branches with red ribbons.
4. By placing a spruce in the southern part of the room, you will soon be able to achieve fame and recognition.

Thinking about where to place the Christmas tree in your home, it is best to choose one direction - the most important for you today. As an addition, you can put spruce branches, or small artificial Christmas trees in other corners of the room.

note. You should not put a Christmas tree in the very center of the apartment. Otherwise, all members in your family will fall into a rapid whirlpool of events.

It is important not only to put the Christmas tree correctly, but also to dress it up. This should be done with the whole family. Everyone should contribute by hanging at least one ball on the Christmas tree.

The top is usually decorated with a star or a sharp spire. The spire will not be able to harm you if its tip is directed straight up. When choosing a star for a Christmas tree, give preference to those models where the corners are smoothed. It is desirable that they are not directed at people in the room. Therefore, turn the star so that the corners look into the walls.

Instead of a spire and a star, you can hang a bunch of bells on top. Such a non-standard solution will attract good luck to your home.

For the Christmas tree to bring you happiness, it must have the colors of all magical elements - Water, Fire, Wood, Metal, Earth - blue, red, green, white, brown. Do not forget about the golden rain - an oriental symbol of wealth, prosperity and harmony in the family.

Useful advice. Do not hang toys on the ends of branches. Under their weight, the branches will bend and fall down, which will make the tree look fading and dull.

If a forest beauty will stand in the corner, do not hang toys in the "blind zone" - do not overload the tree. This will allow him to stay longer.

Let the Christmas tree stand longer, or how to save the Christmas tree

If you decide to put at home not an artificial, but a real Christmas tree and want it to stand until the old New Year, delighting the household with its beauty, then be careful at the stage of choosing it.

The dimensions of the spruce should correspond to the dimensions of the room where it will stand. Don't buy trees that are too big and bulky. It is very important that the tree is fresh, because dry wood will begin to crumble in a few days. Here are some tips to help you determine the freshness of your Christmas tree:

1. In fresh spruce, the branches are elastic - it is very difficult to break them off, but in dry spruce they break easily and with a bang.
2. Rub the needles with your fingers. If oiliness appears on the skin and you smell the resin, then a freshly cut tree will last a long time.
3. Pay attention to the color of the cut of the trunk: if its border has darkened, then the spruce will soon begin to crumble.
4. You can also determine the quality by the thickness of the trunk. If the trunk diameter of a one and a half meter tree is 6-7 cm, then this indicates that it is strong enough and will stay with you for a long time.

In order not to damage the branches on the way home, it is better to wrap the spruce with burlap and tie it with a rope. It is advisable to store the Christmas tree before the holiday in a cold room, because in a warm apartment with dry air it will be difficult for the tree, and in a week needles can fall from it. And in general, the cooler the room in which the spruce stands, the longer it will decorate the house.

The coniferous smell weakens over time, but it can be restored by periodically spraying the tree with water. It is better to do this in the area where there are the fewest toys.

In order for the forest beauty to please you with her beauty for a long time, do not forget to prepare a special cocktail for her. The tree can be put in a bucket of water and add a little glycerin or half a teaspoon of urea. Another composition: a spoonful of sugar, a pinch of salt and an aspirin tablet.

Do not forget to add water to the container, because it evaporates quickly. Also, before putting a spruce, update the cut on the trunk. You can cut the trunk obliquely at an acute angle, and clear it of bark by 9-10 cm. This will open up the pores of the wood so it can absorb moisture normally.

Quite often, the Christmas tree is placed in a bucket of clean sand. In this case, do not forget to wet the sand with water as it dries.

Try not to put the Christmas tree next to heaters or a battery, otherwise it will dry out quickly and crumble. If there is no other place in the house, then place a vessel with water next to the batteries to humidify the air.

There is very little left before the New Year and Christmas holidays, which we are looking forward to with such impatience. And today, many are beginning to imagine what their Christmas tree will look like on the eve of 2016. There are many design options for the main green beauty. We offer you all the ideas and options where to put the Christmas tree.

Christmas tree at the festive table

Alternatively, you can put the Christmas tree near the dining table (or a table moved closer to it). Such an idea will support good mood, will create the right cheerful atmosphere, and will serve as an excellent background for New Year's pictures with the family.

Christmas tree at the big window

In a house or apartment with good natural light, you can put the Christmas tree on the floor or support, for example, on a cabinet or low coffee table, near the window. During a snowfall or a blizzard raging behind icy windows, a fir-tree flashing with multi-colored lights will seem to you a true New Year's miracle.

Christmas tree under the ceiling

An unusual, but already beloved option by many, is to hang a Christmas tree upside down from the ceiling. Of course, for this it is necessary to use special fasteners, and act carefully and accurately so that the structure does not collapse later.

However, the idea of ​​a hanging Christmas tree has caught on in many homes that appreciate the out-of-the-ordinary ideas, plus you can save space in a small room.

Christmas tree by the fireplace

Of course, you should not place a tree close to the hearth - neither a real nor an artificial specimen can withstand this. But at a distance of about a meter on one side or the other of the fireplace, you can easily install a beauty decorated with bright balls.

Such a decision to place a New Year's tree is not unusual, but it always looks bewitching, and creates a feeling of a real fairy-tale holiday in the room.

Christmas tree behind a sofa or armchairs

Christmas and New Year is a great occasion to get together friendly family, or arrange a party for your closest friends, the indispensable attribute of which, of course, should be a dazzling Christmas tree.

But since all the gatherings after the meal are moved from holiday table to the sofa area in the living room, it would be absolutely appropriate to put a Christmas tree right here: near the upholstered furniture.

Sitting in an easy chair, it's so nice to admire the shimmering balls and unwrap gifts.

Christmas tree on a hill

If the Christmas tree is the main attribute of the holidays, it should be in the most prominent place. But when massive furniture is installed in the room, tall cabinets or walls are full of decor, the tree runs the risk of “merging” with all these objects that fill the environment.

We recommend putting the Christmas tree not on the floor, but, for example, on a coffee table, a console (if the tree is small), a chest of drawers, a cabinet or a wide window sill. Located at eye level, it will become the center of attraction for attention from all sides, and from all parts of the room.

Very often just before the best holiday in a year one of the most difficult questions arises: “How to put up a Christmas tree?”. At first glance, everything is very simple. And if this is indeed the case, then with living space, I'm sure you're all right! A fluffy winter guest who has “dropped in” for about a month will not bother anyone.

But it also happens the other way:

- Small apartment...

young people rent a small room...

— the large family where there is not enough space for everyone ...

If a small table is intended for two lovers, it can be decorated with snow-covered twigs, which are placed in a transparent glass, decorated with exquisite stars and original New Year's souvenirs - angels, snowflakes, birds of paradise. This one will no doubt leave an indelible mark on your memory.

How to originally put a Christmas tree in a small room

You can also put a fake Christmas tree in the room. But believe that you will get no less pleasure from it. For example, if you have small children in your family who already crawl well or are just starting to walk, you will not be able to install a Christmas tree, even a small one, in a children's room. But creating her symbol is easy and simple!

Christmas trees are very beautiful, made with your own hands from logs and colored paper, and fixed directly on the wall. Decorate this tree New Year's toys and a luminous garland, you will receive not only New Year's pleasure, but also decoration of your interior.

Even if the wall is not in the best condition or is just being prepared for repairs, this will not spoil new year mood and change the desire to make your holiday extraordinary and memorable.

If making a Christmas tree on the wall is too difficult, try creating a tree with stars. It is also very beautiful and no less interesting.
