THE PERFECT NUMBER OF ORNAMENTS

In our experience the average ornament size used by residential customers is between 3 and 4 inches, so our Christmas Ornament Calculator™ result is based on an average ornament size of 3.5 inches. The recommended number of ornaments will be just perfect for most people, not so many that the tree looks overloaded, but not so few that it looks sparsely decorated.

WHAT IF MY ORNAMENTS ARE SMALLER?

If your ornaments are smaller than 3.5 inches on average, you should increase the number of ornaments. For example, if your ornaments are an average of 2 inches, you should multiply the recommended number of ornaments by 1.75.

WHAT IF MY ORNAMENTS ARE BIGGER?

If your ornaments are larger than 3.5 inches, then you should decrease the number of ornaments. For example, if your ornaments average 5 inches, you should multiply the recommended number of ornaments by .7.

WHAT IF I WANT LESS ORNAMENTS THAN MOST PEOPLE ON MY CHRISTMAS TREE?

If you prefer to have less ornaments on your tree compared to the average person, then you can multiply the recommended number of ornaments by the percentage you think you prefer. For example, if you think you would like only 60% of the number of ornaments that most people use, you can multiply the recommended number by .6. If you'd like 80% of what most people use, you would multiply the recommended number by .8.

WHAT IF I WANT MORE ORNAMENTS THAN MOST PEOPLE ON MY CHRISTMAS TREE?

If you prefer to have a very heavily decorated tree, with more ornaments than most people use, you can multiply the recommended number of ornaments by the percentage you think you prefer. For example, if you prefer 30% more ornaments than most people, you can multiply the result by 1.3. If you prefer 50% more ornaments than most people, you can multiply the result by 1.5.
