Experts suggest that the placement of your Christmas tree can affect both the aesthetic and practical elements of your home. Learn the best spots to place your tree to maximize light and space during the festive season.
Christmas decorations seem to pop up earlier each year, with some Irish households diving into the festive spirit weeks - or even months - before December 25 arrives. But with the big day now less than a month away, the rest of us are starting to think about when to start decking out our homes.
It's very common across Ireland to see trees proudly displayed in front of windows, but Emily Simmons, creative director at Ruggable, says this should be avoided. She explained: "With many people preparing to put their Christmas decorations up, a bay window will likely be the desired place for their Christmas tree. However, although a real Christmas tree does need sunlight, too much direct sunlight can dry the tree out and block natural light coming into your room when placed directly in front of the window, which can make your room darker and colder.
