Christmas trees · Charlotte, NC
Need someone to decorate your Christmas tree? I’m a Christmas tree decorator in Charlotte, NC: I size the tree to your ceiling, flock and light it, dress it for the room it stands in, and come back in January to take it down.
What’s included
Your tree is the one thing every guest photographs. I’ll flock, light, and dress it with ribbon and picks chosen against your own room—so it looks like it belongs there and not like it came out of a box.

How I approach it
I start from the room rather than from the tree. The sofa, the floors, the art and the light already in the space decide the palette, and the palette decides what goes on the branches: one metal, gold, silver or a soft bronze, and one temperature of light. Choosing those two things first is what lets a box of old ornaments and a few new ones look as if they were bought together.
The lights go on first and go deep, wrapped through the inside of the branches as well as along the tips, so the tree glows from within instead of showing a lit outline. Ribbon follows in long cascades from the top, then picks and ornaments in layers, and the topper last, sized to the tree rather than to the box it came in.
The base matters as much as the top. A skirt or a collar finishes the tree, and the gifts are staged under it, wrapped in the same palette if you’d like me to do the wrapping too, so the floor around the tree looks considered rather than like a pile of boxes.
If there is a second tree in the house, for a bedroom, the office or the entry, it’s dressed in the same palette as the first, so the rooms speak to each other. I decorate trees across the Charlotte area, from Huntersville to Waxhaw, and installs are scheduled from October in the order they’re booked.
From my own home and my clients’
What clients say
“I can’t recommend Tanya enough. We worked with her during our home build, and she was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She’s not only patient, but truly listens and understands your vision, which made such a difference for us. One of the most overwhelming parts of building our home was choosing lighting for every single room, but Tanya guided us through it so thoughtfully. She has an amazing eye, gave us practical advice, and helped us make decisions with confidence. What could have been a stressful process actually felt easy with her help. I’m so grateful for her guidance, expertise, and all the little tips she shared along the way. She made a huge impact on our home, and I would work with her again in a heartbeat.
“Great service, very knowledgeable and patiently supported us along the way. This home project was very tedious and scary too. Esp if you’re not good with choosing colors. If you’re like us then Tatyana is your gal, our family was glad we went with her. Our home came out great and we love it. God bless and more power!
“Amazing designer! Very creative, easy to work with and delivered exactly what i was looking for. Would definitely work with her again. Even after our consultation, she let me know I could text her if I had questions or needed help with her suggestions. That level of care made a big difference.
“Tatyana was absolutely amazing to work with! She helped me design both our living room and bedroom, and completely transformed the feel of our home. She made choosing paint colors, furniture, and layout so easy — I would have been so overwhelmed without her guidance! If you’re in Waxhaw or Charlotte and need help pulling your home together, I highly recommend booking with Your Designer BFF!
“We had the pleasure of working with Tatyana on a new construction build. Her guidance was instrumental in helping us make the correct design decisions to make the home functional and beautiful. She was fantastic to work with and very easy to communicate with. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Your contribution to our project is truly appreciated.
“Tatyana has been a pleasure to work with. She was very professional in helping me design the exterior of my new home. She was always very quick to respond and always got her work done on time. I would highly recommend her!
“Tatyana was very professional and provided excellent service! She was prompt with her visits, and her responses to texts. She had great ideas and helped me think outside the box. She also had many trades people she could recommend to me for work that needed to be done. I would highly recommend her.
“Great interior design company! They turned out ideas into stunning designs and additionally delivered on time and within budget! I would highly recommend to give them a try.
Before you book
Either. I can bring a tree chosen for your room, or dress the one you already have if it still holds its shape. The size is settled at the walkthrough, once I’ve measured the ceiling and the floor space around where the tree will stand.
Yes. The ornaments with a story stay on the tree; they’re the reason it’s yours. We go through the boxes together, and I add only what the tree needs to look finished, usually ribbon, picks and a few larger pieces for scale.
Both can look right. A real tree smells like the season but dries out in a heated room, so how long it has to last matters; good faux keeps its shape and color into January. Flocking is part of the tree package, not an extra.
Tall enough that the topper sits just under the ceiling with a little air above it, and wide enough for the floor around it. I measure both at the walkthrough. In a two-story room that usually means a taller tree than people expect, or a slimmer one with lit branches beside it.
Yes. A second tree for a bedroom, the office or the entry can be added to the main one and dressed in the same palette.
In January. I take it down, pack the ornaments and the lights labeled by room, and leave the space as it was.
