You can also opt for a pre-lit Christmas tree for added convenience and beauty, ensuring easy assembly and a delightful festive glow.

Factors to consider before buying
We all want our Christmas trees and festive decorations to be picture-perfect. Here are some things to consider to make sure everything looks as spectacular as can be come Christmastime!
Decorations
Some trees come pre-lit or with built-in ornaments, while others offer a blank canvas for you to get creative. Add Christmas baubles, tinsel, beaded garlands, fairy lights, candy canes, and other decorations to suit your chosen aesthetic.
Lighting options
Consider the convenience of pre-lit trees with built-in lights or the flexibility of adding your own Christmas tree lights to personalise the look. Pre-lit trees offer ease and a uniform glow, while adding string or cluster lights allows you to customise the lighting according to personal tastes.
Storage and assembly
Check the tree's packaging and assembly process. Opt for trees that are easy to put together and take down with storage-friendly features. Christmas tree storage bags and boxes can also help conveniently protect your tree.
Size and height
Smaller spaces will generally look better with slimmer or shorter trees. If you choose a large or especially bushy tree, it may end up making your room feel cluttered.
To work out what size tree you need for your space, start by measuring the height and width of the area you plan to put it. Then, select a tree that is at least a foot shorter and narrower than your space. This will ensure it doesn’t feel overbearing once set up and decorated!
Real vs artificial: Which Christmas tree should you choose for a small space?
Artificial Christmas trees are by far the most flexible and convenient type of Christmas tree for small spaces. Our range has a fantastic selection - you can shop for Christmas trees by colour or Christmas trees by size, so you can choose the perfect one for your home.
Beyond aesthetics, artificial Christmas trees are easy to assemble and ultra-low maintenance, thanks to no pesky pine needles dropping onto your floor!
Plus, investing in an artificial Christmas tree can actually prove more cost-effective and eco-friendly than buying a real tree each year. Instead of burning or taking a real tree to landfill once the festive period is over (both of which generate greenhouse gases), you can pack your artificial tree into its handy storage bag and reuse it year after year.
Really, the only thing an artificial tree can’t replicate is the earthy, comforting aroma of a natural pine or fir tree. But, if the smell of a real Christmas tree is non-negotiable in your household, a clever hack is to hang some pine-scented car air fresheners from the branches of your artificial tree to get the best of both worlds!
You can hang scented sticks and decorations from your tree to further enhance the festive atmosphere. Things like cinnamon sticks, baubles filled with spices or potpourri, and candy canes are all delightful.

FAQs
How do I know which small tree is best?
To choose the best small Christmas tree, consider how much space you have and the style that will complement your holiday decor best.
Additionally, you might want to consider how much storage space you have and how easy you’d like the setup to be. For example, some small Christmas trees come pre-lit, which can help if you’re short on decorating time.
Do I need to take fire safety precautions with my Christmas tree?
While high-quality artificial Christmas trees are incredibly safe, you should still follow certain best practices to avoid putting yourself or your guests in danger. Ensure none of the wiring on any tree lights or pre-lit trees is damaged, and avoid leaving them plugged in if you go out for extended periods.
Also, decorate your tree evenly to prevent it from toppling onto any unsuspecting presents beneath!
Which trees are best for apartments?
Slim Christmas trees are ideal for apartments as they save valuable floor space while adding to your holiday decor. Potted Christmas trees are also brilliant options for flats, as you can place them on balconies, small corners, or even tabletops.
Which trees are best for office spaces?
The best tree for your office or workplace will depend on how much space you have available. Large or open-plan offices will benefit from taller trees, while smaller offices should choose a shorter or slimmer tree. Read more about the best Christmas trees for offices on our blog.
