Upside down Christmas trees have made a comeback in recent times for their practicality and unique look. This idea dates back to the Middle Ages, where people in Europe turned their fir trees upside down during Christmas to symbolize the Holy Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Flipping the position of the Christmas tree also makes more space in smaller areas and provides a better view of the ornaments. One can buy an upside-down Christmas tree online and hang it at their home. There are no rules for decorating an upside-down Christmas tree, so stylishly displaying ornaments and choosing a pleasing theme can make a bold statement.
To hang an upside-down Christmas tree, wrap a wire or string around the tree's trunk and tie it into a loop. Then, install a hook in the ceiling and decorate the tree with lights, ribbons, tinsel, and garlands. Then, flip the tree upside down and hook it to the secured hook. Upside-down Christmas trees work best in medium to large spaces, such as living rooms, lobbies, or open-plan areas.
To style an upside-down Christmas tree, choose a theme that amplifies the 'wow' factor and clears the area around the tree to let it steal the show. Standalone bold ornaments or even vintage-style decorations can give a retro atmosphere or a modern twist respectively.
