Grand Salon in three rooms

Step by step

  1. Fluff section by section, starting at the bottom and the center pole. Budget 1 to 2 hours, because this is where the luxury look comes from.
  2. Place the velvet bow topper and cascade its long tails down the front in two soft S-curves.
  3. Wire the pre-tied bows along the tails' path so the eye follows the ribbon down the tree.
  4. Hang the jumbo ornaments deep inside first, then the main ornaments on the outer tips in triangles.
  5. Step back from the room's entrance, the spot guests see first, and adjust for that view.
  6. Finish with a simple velvet or faux-fur skirt in a color from the ornaments.

Make it designer: a 3-color palette (green, champagne and one accent) plus one repeated texture, like velvet, makes it look professionally styled. Leave 10 percent of branches bare so the tree looks curated, not crowded.

The tree is done, so plan the feast: our Holiday Kitchen Cookbook pairs every dish with wine, sparkling cider and a soft drink.
