Christmas Trees

How many ornaments do I need for my Christmas tree?

As a guide, use 10–20 ornaments per foot of tree height for a classic look (e.g., 60–120 ornaments for a 6 ft tree). Add more for a dense designer style, fewer for a minimalist look.

Are shatterproof ornaments better than glass?

Shatterproof ornaments are durable and family-friendly, ideal for homes with kids or pets. Glass ornaments offer premium shine and detail — mix both to balance safety and sparkle.

How do I choose a tree topper—star or angel?

Stars give a modern, symmetrical finish while angels add a classic, traditional touch. Match the topper to your theme and ensure the weight suits your tree’s top branch.

What colour themes work best for Singapore homes?

Popular choices include gold & champagne, red & green, and white & silver. Neutral Scandinavian palettes pair well with modern interiors, while vibrant reds and greens suit festive, family-friendly setups.

Hooks or strings—what’s better for hanging ornaments?

Hooks make quick adjustments easy and add drop length. Strings are safer for delicate branches and allow precise positioning. Use hooks for heavier baubles and strings for lighter pieces.

How should I store ornaments after the season?

Use compartmentalised storage boxes, wrap glass items individually, and keep sets labelled by colour or theme. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent discoloration and damage.
