Christmas Decor In Dallas, TX: Where To Find Your Decorating Ideas

It's time to start thinking about your Christmas decor in Dallas, TX.  While it may be a little early to set up a tree and put lights on the roof, it’s never too early to think about how you want to decorate and where to get the items you need to make your home look the most festive.  Now is also the best time to think about decorating if you want to try something new.  If you’re tired of your old Christmas decor in Dallas, TX and you want a few fresh ideas, here are some places to look for them:  
✦ Magazines
Nothing beats a big, glossy magazine for showing you a variety of decorating themes and ideas; and, if you’re in a particularly slow line at the grocery store, you’ll have plenty of time to peruse the magazines at the checkout without having to pay for them.  If looking at magazines in the comfort of your own home is your preference, there are a number that can give you great decorating ideas, like Martha Stewart Living, HGTV, House Beautiful, Southern Living, Better Homes and Gardens and Woman’s Day.
✦ Internet
Just do a Google search for “Christmas decorating ideas” and you’ll get more information and images than you can look at in a year.  Websites by "This Old House," Elle Decor and Veranda, among others, are great places to start.  Your favorite magazines usually have companion websites with information that won’t fit into their publications and, while you may think more information is a good thing, you can get overwhelmed.  Normally, magazines do a better job of giving you their best ideas in a short format; but if you do have a few hours to spare and you’re online, check out Pinterest.  Pinterest is a decorator’s dream, because you’ll not only find other people’s decorating ideas, but you’ll also find their links to other websites you may not have thought of visiting.
✦ Store Displays
Pay attention to store Christmas displays, even the stores that don’t sell Christmas decor in Dallas, TX.  If you see something you like, take a picture and then look for the individual components.  If you’re in a store that sells Christmas items, tell a clerk that you want to recreate their look and they can usually gather up everything you’ll need for it.  Don’t forget to check out hobby and craft stores as these usually group items of similar color or style together on their shelves, which can inspire you to choose a theme or color scheme.

Christmas Trees In Dallas, TX: How To Choose An Artificial Tree

It’s that time of year again – time to start thinking about all things Christmas.  And if you’re looking for Christmas trees in Dallas, TX, there’s no better place to find one than at Jackson’s Home & Garden.  At Jackson’s we have a wide variety of artificial trees to choose from in a range of sizes to fit any home.  If you’ve never had an artificial Christmas tree before – or even if you’re looking to replace an older one – here are some things to keep in mind when choosing an artificial tree:

❅ Size

Artificial trees come in a wide range of sizes from 3’ tabletop models to 12’ sizes for homes with vaulted ceilings or grand foyers.  If you’re looking for a standard, full-sized tree, you’re likely going to find them in a height range of 6’ to 7.5’ to accommodate the 8’ ceilings in most homes.  Artificial trees today also come in two or three different widths from full to narrow to slim.  Think about the space your tree will occupy when you decide on height and width and remember that the narrower your tree is, the less branch length you’ll have for hanging ornaments.

❅ Style

Though all artificial Christmas trees in Dallas, TX are made from the same materials – polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or molded polyethylene (PE) or a combination of both, tree styles can range from traditional to realistic depending on which material is used.  Both can replicate the look of real pine, fir or other evergreens.  If you’re looking for a nontraditional color, you can find trees in black, white, pink, silver and more.  If it’s a traditional-looking tree you want, colors include a mix of greens, blues and blue/greens.  For the most realistic appearance, look for trees that have brown coloring or wrapping on the trunk and branches.   Some trees come with pinecones or holly berries attached or are sprayed with flocking to look snow-covered.

❅ Lights

Artificial trees today can be purchased pre-lit with clear or multi-color LED or incandescent bulbs.  The bulbs can twinkle, shimmer or even change colors.  They can also be controlled with an attached foot pedal.  The best trees feature stay-lit bulbs, which means that if one bulb burns out or is removed, the rest will still stay lit.  

At Jackson’s Home & Garden, we can help you to outfit your home for the holidays with beautiful decorative items, trees, ornaments and more.  Give us a call at (214) 350-9200 to find out more or go online to www.jacksonshg.com to take a look at our Christmas 2015 department.

Christmas Trees In Dallas, TX: The 5 Most Popular Christmas Trees

If you’re gearing up for the holiday season ahead and you’re thinking about buying the most important element of your Christmas decorating – the tree – you need to come and see our selection of Christmas trees in Dallas, TX at Jackson’s Home & Garden.  At Jackson’s, we have a great selection of sizes and styles for you to choose from; but, to make choosing the right tree easier, we think you should know what the U.S. Forest Service says are the most popular varieties of real trees.  Once you know the kind of real tree you like, you can quickly choose its artificial counterpart so that you can get the look you want but in a tree that will last for many years.
1.   Fraser Fir

The Fraser fir is the perfect tree for holiday decorating because of its dark green, inch-long needles that are soft to the touch.  The branches are firm and easy to decorate because of the space between the branches.  Fraser firs also tend to have the perfect shape for a Christmas tree, which may be why they are the trees most chosen as the official White House Christmas tree.

     Douglas Fir

The Douglas fir isn’t a true fir tree; it actually has its own unique species classification.  One of the main – and most noticeable – differences between true firs and the Douglas fir is that the Douglas fir has downward-hanging cones.  These trees naturally grow into a cone shape and have 1 to 1 ½-inch needles that make it easy to decorate.

     Balsam Fir

The Balsam fir has a beautiful, pyramidal shape with short, flat, long-lasting needles.  It is dark green in color which makes it a perfect backdrop for all types of ornaments and color schemes.

     Colorado Blue Spruce

The blue spruce, like the Douglas fir, has a natural, symmetrical, conical shape that makes it an ideal choice for a Christmas tree.  In addition, the foliage of the tree, which ranges from dark green to powdery blue, can look silver from certain angles.  The limbs are strong and the needles are 1 to 3 inches long, making it perfect for ornament hanging.

     Scotch Pine

Though the Scotch pine has sharp needles, which doesn’t make it ideal for decorating, it is still one of the most popular trees because of its excellent needle retention.  It has stiff branches and two bundled, dark green needles that are 1 to 3 inches long.  It also has a nice, pyramidal shape that makes it look full even with a minimal amount of decorations.
