Artificial Christmas trees come in all shapes, sizes and colours. They’re convenient, economical, and more realistic than ever. Are you looking to pick up an artificial tree in time for Christmas this year? Our range of trees has got your covered! To narrow down your options, here’s some things to consider:
Step 1: Shape & Size
Where is your tree going, and how much space are you prepared to allocate for it? Having a clear idea of your available space will guide you in choosing the right tree size and shape. Here’s a quick size guide to get you started:
- Under 5 Feet – best for smaller spaces, kids’ rooms, or tabletop displays.
- 5-6 Feet – great for modest-sized rooms or homes with low ceilings
- 6-7 Feet – ideal for larger living spaces with standard 8-9 foot ceilings.
If space is tight, consider a slimline tree. These trees look great without taking up much width, making them perfect for hallways, dining rooms, or any area where you want a full tree without losing too much space.
Step 2: Species
Artificial trees are crafted to mimic the look of various iconic Christmas tree species, each with its own unique charm. Here’s a quick look at three of the most popular tree species:
Fir: Known for dense branches with flat, flexible needles. Fir-inspired trees are an excellent choice if you like a traditional, bushy look.
Spruce: Full of rustic charm, these trees have rougher branches with spiky needles, giving them a unique texture with real character.
Pine: This style sports sparser branches, with clusters of needles around the stem - popular with people who prefer a more natural, woodsy appearance. the spacing between the branches mean decorations hang with ease and provide an understated, minimal look.
Step 3: Colour
Although green is traditional, the joy of an artificial Christmas tree is that they come in all colours! For a fun twist on your usual Christmas décor, consider getting a tree in a colour that complements the palette of the room it’s going in. Or if you’re dreaming of a white Christmas, why not consider a white or snow-flocked tree?
