With a variety of silhouettes, sizes, and lighting options, there’s something for every style and space, whether you’re after a traditional full-bodied spruce or a sleek, contemporary design. To make your choice a little easier, we’ve created this quick guide to help you find your perfect match.

Choose Your Christmas Tree Shape

Just like real trees, faux Christmas trees come in a variety of shapes and silhouettes, each creating a different festive feel.

• Full and Traditional: Perfect for classic décor lovers, a full-bodied tree creates a rich, abundant look ideal for larger rooms or bay windows.

• Slim or Pencil Trees: Ideal for smaller spaces, hallways, or apartments. They still look impressive but take up less floor space.

• Asymmetric or Sparse Trees: A contemporary favourite, these trees allow ornaments to hang beautifully and work well in modern interiors with a minimalist touch.

Tip: Consider where your tree will go before choosing its shape, full trees make a statement, while slim styles suit narrow or high-traffic spaces.

Pick the Perfect Height

Size matters when it comes to Christmas trees. You want a tree that complements your room rather than overwhelms it.

• Measure your ceiling height and leave at least 6 inches of space at the top for your tree topper.

• Standard rooms (7-8 ft ceilings) look best with trees between 6 ft and 7 ft.

• High ceilings can handle taller trees, go for 8 ft or above to make an impressive statement.

If you’re short on space, smaller tabletop trees are a wonderful alternative for sideboards, hallways, or bedrooms, adding festive cheer throughout your home.

Decide Between Pre-Lit or Unlit

Lighting is key to your tree’s magic. The choice between pre-lit and unlit comes down to personal preference and convenience.

• Pre-Lit Trees: Perfect for those who love a ready-to-go tree. Evenly spaced, energy-efficient LEDs make setup effortless, just plug in and decorate!

• Unlit Trees: Ideal if you love to experiment with your own light colour, brightness, or pattern each year.

Top Tip: Warm white lights create a traditional, cosy glow, while cool white or multi-coloured bulbs offer a more modern and playful twist.

Pick a Style That Suits Your Home

When it comes to decorating your Christmas tree, your choice of tree can help set the entire festive tone.

• Classic & Traditional: Opt for a lush green fir or spruce-style tree and decorate with reds, golds, and natural wood tones.

• Modern & Minimalist: Try a frosted, white-tipped, or pencil tree with metallic accents and simple décor.

• Rustic & Country-Inspired: Choose a more natural-looking tree with uneven branches for a relaxed, woodland feel.

Whatever your style, our range ensures there’s a perfect faux Christmas tree to match your décor.

Don’t Forget the Details

The right finishing touches make all the difference. Choose a decorative tree skirt or woven base cover to hide the stand and complete the look. And if you have pets or young children, make sure your tree is stable and positioned safely away from high-traffic areas.
