According to the interiorista Diego Rodriguez, “to make of the tree an falsified element more, the best thing is to choose a single tone”. In this sense, its ornamental bet for the next celebrations will be marked by the space that lives, but also by the range of colors towards which it feels more affinity.
Colors
A precious metal as the gold has the ability to transmit a message of exuberance and distinction, but also is able to equip to the surroundings with calidez and good vibrations. A basic tone, like the red one, green or the blue one, but had with metallic reflections, is another alternative.
As far as dark tones like gray, chocolate, sepia and black are the favorites of a sober context before the possibility that it wants to flee from recharged atmospheres of garlands and that you prefer to live Christmas from a more serious and minimalist point of view, without typical resources such as the birth or the tree.
The opposite pole is in the white color snow, evocative of Christmas moments.
The tradition
For most faithful to the custom, the combination of the red one with the green one is unremovable. The elements more classic than go to the felt, the ceramics, the wood and the brass of glad colors. From the tone cherry to the vermilion, all the degrees of red are accepted. It remembers to include in the tree caramel canes and bells so that the Christmas spirit multiplies his sparkles.

Little trees of Christmas:
Artificial versus. Natural
At the time of deciding if to go or to the plantation of trees Christmas or to the nearest store not to buy the little tree, it considers the following thing:
How much it will cost?
The price of the natural little trees can vary, in dependancy of the site where it goes. The prices can oscillate less than between $20 to more than $50. At the time of making the decision, it is important to consider that the little tree will not last long time, reason why perhaps a great investment is not the best form to spend their money. Nevertheless, options exist to buy real little trees with their intact system by roots, which allows the owners of houses to seed it at the end of the season.
The artificial little trees cost initially a little more than the natural ones. Nevertheless, they are much more profitable because they are possible to be used during several years after the initial purchase. In addition, there is no necessity to buy accessories as supports and devices of hydration, which is generally necessary in the case of the natural little tree.
Whereupon facility can be transferred?
The land or the property where little trees of Christmas cultivate themselves takes measures to facilitate the extraction and transfer of the same, but always it is the arduous task of taking them to house. Many people, independent of the fact that they drive to a conventional car or a SUV, choose to place the little tree upon the ceiling of the vehicle, but with the preoccupation which she could leave flying in the freeway. Also it is the problem of how entering the little tree by the fore door, a especially difficult work in old houses where the marks of the doors are much more small in comparison with those of the new houses. To enter the little tree can leave in addition a track to pine needles from the vehicle to the house, a difficulty that will last all the year, because the needles are difficult to eliminate.
There are no doubts that the artificial little trees are more advisable as far as concerns their transfer. As they come frequently in boxes, they are light and easy to maneuver within the house. It does not matter if one is a new or old house at the time of installing an artificial little tree, thanks to its package.
Appearance of a natural little tree
Attractive the esthetic one is frequently the main argument that uses the defenders of the natural little tree, because they consider that the same is more beautiful. Nevertheless, who buy a little tree behind schedule, the most desirable little trees will have to be satisfied and so it is, after already have found their site in a living room much until the term of the season.
Appearance has an artificial little tree
Although to some they like the real appearance of the natural little tree, others think that the artificial one is perfect, and do not have the rugosidades of the authentic one. The artificial ones, unless their manufacture is deficient, do not have that problem, because human beings are made. In addition, they guarantee to his owners the same appearance in every festive season.
Impact in the environment
The natural little trees are in fact much more favorable to the environment than it could seem initially, because they are seeded with the express intention to destroy them in the festive season, and every year new trees seed themselves to resupply the existence of a way that does not affect the environment. In addition, once finished the season, many little trees recycle themselves and sand barriers of and earth against the erosion are used like.
Frequently, the artificial little trees take numerous warnings of security, because they make with diverse materials like the chloride of polyvinyl or PVC, as well as metals, that can incorporate toxins to the air during the production process. For that reason labels of warning in some artificial little trees exist. The people buy who them must have well-taken care of when installing them in houses with children small or mascots, because its consumption can be toxic. Another aspect to consider is that many artificial little trees cannot be recycle, reason why is no form to reject those that favor to the environment if their owners decide to replace them by another new one.
