What size artificial Christmas tree should I buy?
From size to safety, we will walk you through some of the most common customer questions we hear in our 'What should I buy...?' series.
Here, we deep dive into which size artificial Christmas tree is right for your home.
From checking your ceiling height clearance space to knowing the true dimensions of your Xmas tree, there's a lot more to measuring your new Christmas tree than you might think...
What's the best size Christmas tree for my space?
Choosing the best artificial Christmas tree size depends entirely on how much space you have to work with.
To measure, analyse the distance from the floor to the ceiling of your chosen tree spot. Then subtract 1ft from this measurement (this gives your tree topper space to shine).
So, if your floor-to-ceiling measurement is 9 foot, then we would recommend you buy an 8 foot artificial Christmas tree.
Best size Xmas trees for residential homes
As a rule of thumb, 7 foot artificial Christmas trees are your best bet for residential homes. That’s because the standard height for ceilings is between 8 and 9 feet, allowing you to adorn your tree with a star, without scraping the top of the room.
Plus, 7 foot trees are more manageable when it comes to decorating with Christmas tree decorations and Christmas tree lights – even the kids can get involved on the lower branches.
For flats and apartments
For smaller homes, such as flats and city centre apartments, we recommend you opt for a slightly shorter tree to avoid overwhelming your living area. Anything from 5 foot artificial Christmas trees to 6.5 foot artificial Christmas trees are perfect for bringing the festive spirit alive in cosier quarters.
For bedrooms and porches
Of course, it’s not just your living room that can light up with Christmas cheer, the whole house can get dressed up for the holiday season. It’s in these other rooms that mini artificial Christmas trees shine.
For example, set up a 3 foot artificial Christmas tree in your child’s bedroom to keep them excited all through December or place a 4 foot artificial Christmas tree outside your front door to greet guests on the big day itself.
How we measure our artificial Christmas trees
At Christmas Tree World, we measure our trees from the floor to the highest branch tip. This includes the tree stand (which can give a 7-inch clearance off the floor), so there aren’t any awkward surprises when you put your tree together on the 1st December.
Now you know how to choose the best artificial Christmas tree, it’s time to put your new-found knowledge to action. Head over to the Christmas Tree World website to browse our extensive collection of luxury artificial Christmas trees today.
