Large vs giant Christmas baubles
Large and giant can often be synonymous but there’s quite a big difference between these two types.
Large Christmas baubles typically range from 4 to 8 inches in size. These baubles are fine to use on traditional Christmas trees and other decorations as they are not too overwhelming.
Giant baubles, on the other hand, are designed to make a bold statement. They typically range from 8 to 24 inches and are best used in large spaces like grand halls, shopping centres and outdoor displays.
Decorating ideas for giant Christmas baubles
There's no denying it, Christmas is a pretty big deal. For an event so huge, it only makes sense that you would need some giant Christmas baubles to match. Unlike small Christmas baubles, it can be quite tricky to display giant baubles in a way that complements other festive decorations.
Here are a few ways you can decorate your space with giant Christmas baubles:
- Find the right location: Considering their size, you should select a suitable space to hang or place your baubles. Large rooms are best for indoor displays, so you have enough space to manoeuvre. Outdoor spaces are perhaps a little easier, particularly if you have a garden or driveway, or intend on holding an event at the park. Even placing them at the foot of your front door, underneath a Christmas wreath, can be a simple yet effective decoration idea.
- Plan and prepare: Finding the right location is one thing, but sketching out an arrangement plan can really help alleviate any Christmas stress. Consider factors like height, spacing between other furniture and the overall image.
- Hang them creatively: There are various ways to hang giant baubles, depending on your preferences and the space available to you. If you decide to use a clear fishing line or sturdy ribbon to hang them from the ceiling, mantel or curtain rod, you must make sure they are fastened securely so accidents can be avoided. Adhesive hooks are also a great alternative if you'd prefer to hang your baubles on walls or doors.
- Use them with garlands: If you have a mantel, staircase, or window frame, drape a string of baubles among a Christmas garland. Gold baubles work exceptionally well against the luscious green!
- Table centrepieces: Either fill large glass vases or bowls with giant baubles or place the baubles themselves in the middle of your tables and countertops. Your table should be large enough that the baubles aren’t too overwhelming and don’t cause any obstructions. If you're placing singular baubles, make sure they're secured so they don't roll off. Surrounding them with other solid ornaments like candles and floral arrangements could help keep your baubles in place.
- Outdoor trees: The one place you can always find baubles is on a Christmas tree. However, the tree you have inside your home may not be big enough to accommodate such giant Christmas baubles. If your garden or outdoor space has large, bushy Christmas trees, hanging your giant baubles outside can be the perfect solution.
- Retail or commercial displays: Giant baubles can also be used in shop windows or other commercial settings to attract attention and create a festive atmosphere for shoppers. If you're a business owner needing decorations for your store, giant baubles are a great way to add Christmas cheer. Take a look at our range of large commercial Christmas trees that are perfect for shopping centres, parks and town centres.

What decorations do giant Christmas tree baubles go best with?
Giant baubles can add a lot of personality and warmth to your Christmas displays. Here are a few themes and other decorations that pair nicely with these baubles:
Classic & elegant
Gold, silver, and red baubles offer a timeless and sophisticated look for the holiday season. Keeping with tradition, gold baubles often exude luxury, warmth and the feeling of celebration. Silver baubles bring a sleek and modern contrast that is emblematic of the winter season, with white baubles offering a light and complementary effect.
Giant red baubles are a bold and striking addition to any display, as the colour instantly evokes a vibrant and cheery feeling. Combining these colours with other baubles of varying sizes, greenery and classic ornaments like stars, snowflakes, nutcrackers, ribbons and Christmas tree lights can create a nostalgic and warm display.
Winter Wonderland
As previously mentioned, silver can help encapsulate the coolness of Christmas, but what other colours could you use to achieve this aesthetic? Blue and white baubles are another great pairing that can create a frosty and magical atmosphere. Snowflake accents, faux snow, silver branches and even white Christmas trees can all work together to build the perfect wonderland.
Rustic & natural
If you prefer a more organic and natural Christmas theme, consider incorporating earthy tones like brown, copper and green alongside your giant baubles. Whether you use green baubles or combine them with branches, pinecones, cinnamon sticks, orange slices and other wooden elements, nothing is stopping you from creating a charming and cosy atmosphere.
