You Can Put Up a Christmas Tree
When Selling a Home

A question I frequently hear is, "Can you put up a Christmas tree when selling a home?" I believe you can, with some reservations. Christmas is a special time of year and should be enjoyed, especially when there are children of all ages in the home.





When decorating for the holidays, keep in mind that you want to sell your home for the highest price possible. That means you want it to look as large as possible. Rather than arranging furniture to accommodate a large Christmas tree, consider putting a small tree on a table. Then make your little tree a stunning decorator accent by paying attention to color.

A Small Christmas Tree Dressed All in Gold

How To Do It

• Christmas colors can sometimes clash with an existing color scheme. In this home, gold is a perfect neutral and elegant choice. All the decorations were bought at Hobby Lobby during a 50% sale

• A small table was covered with a floor length gold damask table cloth

• The tree is in a heavy ceramic pot to keep it from tipping over (a garden urn would also look great)

• Lots of tiny white lights where strung close to the trunk

• Gold beaded garland covers light wires and provides a rich base for the decorations

• Several gold beaded picks add fullness

• Gold feather picks from the floral department are fluffy and fun

• A gold poinsettia bush was cut apart to make large, luxurious floral picks

• Inexpensive gold balls in three sizes (small, medium, and large) complete the look. Large ones tucked into the branches, medium and small ones out to the edges

• Avoid the sprawl of Christmas gifts by tucking many of them under the table cloth

Small trees are so popular now, that you will probably want to reuse your tree to decorate a bedroom or some other room in your new house!

When is the best time to take down your beautiful little tree? No later than New Year's Day.
