City Christmas decorations are mainly associated with Christmas trees, XXL baubles and light illuminations. However, in order for the arrangements to be consistent and not overwhelm the entire space, it is worth following a few rules. Then you can be sure that the decorations will become eye-catching accents, creating a specific Christmas atmosphere, rather than decorative overload.
Where should city Christmas decorations be placed?
There are several traditional places where city Christmas decorations appear every year. These are the main squares, pedestrian streets, squares in city centres, as well as the largest roundabouts. These locations are often the showcase of the town and are the busiest places. However, they do not have to be the only places where Christmas decorations can be placed.
It is difficult to imagine a market without a large Christmas tree or a promenade without, for example, openwork city Christmas decorations with LED lights. Trees several metres high and illuminations along entire streets are the largest elements of the arrangement. They always attract attention and undeniably symbolise the Christmas and New Year period, even from mid-November. Due to their considerable size, they are ideal for large spaces, such as market squares, main squares and major roundabouts. After all, it is difficult to find anyone who would say that a city Christmas tree is unsuitable because it is too large. Proportionally selected XXL decorations do not overwhelm their surroundings.
How to arrange city Christmas decorations with Christmas trees?
Not every neighbourhood has room for giant city Christmas decorations. So what can you do if you want to decorate a small square, green area or courtyard in a residential estate? The solution is very simple – use smaller decorations. If an XXL Christmas tree is too tall and too wide, it is worth opting for Christmas tree covers. They are much smaller than classic Christmas trees and allow you to cover flower towers or use XXL pots after the season. The Terra Group brand offers models ranging from 120 cm to 650 cm in height. With such a wide selection, you are sure to find a cover that fits your space perfectly. You can find out how to create an arrangement with even a dozen or so Christmas tree covers in our next article.
When is it better to choose a bauble, and when a pyramid?
The second symbol of Christmas, next to the Christmas tree, is of course baubles. City Christmas decorations also use this motif. XXL baubles made of fibreglass, polyethylene or openwork can be used as an addition to Christmas trees or as stand-alone decorations. If you have limited space, you will not be able to create an elaborate arrangement. In this case, a single bauble is the perfect Christmas accent. A model with a diameter of, for example, 100 cm does not dominate its surroundings, but it is still eye-catching. In addition, its colour, additional pattern or wishes always attract attention. XXL baubles are ideal for placing in entrance areas, at Christmas markets and events, as well as indoor decorations, e.g. in shopping centres and hotels. Their low weight makes them easy to move around if necessary.
Do you want to create a large arrangement that will impress with its size, colours and finish? Then go for a pyramid of XXL baubles. The structure on a special frame, consisting of four or ten baubles, definitely attracts attention with its form. It is suitable for both open areas and enclosed spaces. It becomes a central composition, e.g. in a square, park, or in front of the entrance to public and commercial buildings. The pyramid makes the arrangement complete and does not require the addition of a Christmas tree, for example.
What can you do to prevent an XXL figure from overwhelming the space?
Baubles and Christmas trees are the most popular city Christmas decorations, which can be found almost everywhere. In addition to these, there is something else that creates a magical atmosphere and is particularly popular with children – Santa Claus and Snowman figures. Terra Christmas offers them in the form of inflatable XXL figures. The collection also includes a Christmas tree and baubles. They add splendour to any outdoor event taking place during the winter season. The largest models are up to 7 m high and work well as the main decoration, towering over the surroundings. They require a lot of space for safe installation with ropes, so they should only be placed where you have a significant amount of space available.
Are you afraid that a 7-metre-tall Santa Claus or Christmas tree will be too big? You can choose smaller versions with a height of 4, 5 or 6 metres. A snowball is a good solution for enclosed spaces. This much smaller decoration, also equipped with a blower, impresses with the effect of snowflakes (styrofoam balls) floating inside. We offer models with diameters of 1.5, 2 and 2.5 metres, so you can choose a snowball for your office, restaurant, hotel, shop or other premises. This original decoration is sure to attract the attention of guests and customers without overwhelming the surroundings.
Or perhaps festive decorations on the street lamps?
Christmas decorations can be placed not only at eye level, but also above the heads of passers-by. This is what makes city Christmas decorations mounted on lampposts so special. You can place them anywhere where, for some reason, it is not possible to set up traditional standing arrangements. All you need are city lampposts! This way, you can make use of the space several metres above the ground.
Covers for hanging flower towers in the form of spruce balls perfectly complement city Christmas decorations with Christmas tree covers. If you want to add an extra touch of greenery to your Christmas trees, spruce balls are the perfect choice. Mounted on w600 and w800 hanging flower towers they perfectly imitate natural conifers. Additionally, decorated with baubles or LED lights, they add a festive touch without stealing the show.
