Is an 8ft tree the right size?
An 8ft Christmas tree is a fantastic choice if you’re looking to make a bold, festive statement in your home.
Here’s how to determine if an 8ft tree is the right fit for your space:
- Ideal for High Ceilings:
An 8ft Christmas tree is perfect for rooms with high ceilings, typically 9 feet or taller. It fills the vertical space beautifully, creating a grand and impressive display. If you have a large living room, entryway, or open-concept space, an 8ft tree can be the perfect centrepiece. - Striking Presence:
An 8ft tree commands attention and instantly becomes the focal point of your holiday decor. Its height makes a powerful visual impact, making your home feel even more festive and inviting. - Ample Decoration Space:
With an 8ft tree, you have plenty of space to display a wide variety of Christmas ornaments, festive lights, and garlands. The generous height allows for creative and elaborate decorating, letting you showcase your favourite holiday pieces. - Balanced Proportions:
While the tree is tall, it’s important to ensure the width of the tree fits comfortably in your space. Many 8ft trees are designed with balanced proportions, but you can also find narrower options if space is a concern. Just ensure there’s enough room to move around the tree comfortably. - Consider Ceiling Clearance:
When opting for an 8ft tree, make sure you have enough clearance between the top of the tree and your ceiling, especially if you plan to add a tree topper. You’ll want at least 6 inches of space to avoid a cramped look.
An 8ft tree is an excellent choice for homes with high ceilings and ample space. It offers a stunning, grand presence that can transform your room into a winter wonderland. If you have the room, an 8ft tree is sure to make your Christmas decor stand out in the best possible way.
The difference between PE & PVC branch tips
When selecting an artificial Christmas tree, understanding the difference between traditional (PVC) branch tips and plastic moulded (PE) branch can help you choose the tree that best suits your needs.
Here’s a breakdown of both types and how they work together:
- PE (Plastic Moulded) Branch Tips:
- Realistic Appearance: PE branch tips are plastic moulded from real tree branches, giving them a three-dimensional, lifelike appearance that closely resembles natural foliage. This design makes them look almost identical to real tree needles.
- Durability: PE branch tips are highly durable and maintain their shape well over time. They are less likely to flatten or lose form, ensuring your tree looks lush and full year after year.
- Used in Combination: While PE tips offer a realistic look, when used alone, they can make the tree appear sparse. That’s why our artificial trees with PE tips always include a mix of PE and PVC tips. This combination ensures your tree has the fullness and density provided by PVC, along with the realistic outer appearance of PE tips.
- PVC (Traditional) Branch Tips:
- Classic Look: PVC branch tips, referred to as traditional branch tips, are made from flat, ribbon-like strips of PVC that are cut to resemble tree needles. They provide a full, classic appearance that many people associate with artificial Christmas trees.
- Affordability: PVC trees are typically more affordable than those with PE branch tips. They offer a good balance between cost and appearance, making them a popular choice for many households.
- Added Fullness: In trees where PE tips are used, PVC tips are added to fill in the tree, ensuring it looks lush and dense. This combination creates a tree that is both realistic and full-bodied.
- Combination Trees:
- Best of Both Worlds: All our trees with PE tips feature a combination of PE and PVC branch tips. The outer, visible tips are made of PE for a realistic appearance, while the inner branches are PVC, providing fullness and structure. This mix ensures your tree looks as full and natural as possible.
Which Should You Choose?
PE & PVC Combination Trees:
Choose a tree with a mix of PE and PVC branch tips for the most realistic and full appearance. These trees are designed to offer the best of both worlds: the lifelike look of PE with the dense fullness of PVC.
How many lights and decorations do I need for an 8ft tree?
Decorating an 8ft Christmas tree is a delightful task that can transform your space into a festive wonderland.
Here’s a guide to help you determine how many lights and decorations you’ll need for an 8ft Christmas tree:
- Recommended Number of Lights: For an 8ft tree, you’ll need approximately 1,000-1,200 Christmas tree lights to achieve a bright and evenly illuminated display. This ensures your tree is well-lit and festive.
- Recommended Number of Ornaments:
- Large Ornaments: You will need around 30-40 large ornaments to create focal points on your tree.
- Medium Ornaments: Approximately 60-80 medium Christmas decorations provide balanced coverage.
- Small Ornaments: Around 80-100 small ornaments fill in gaps and add delicate details.
- Tree Topper: Choose a topper that’s proportional to the tree’s height, typically 20-25cm tall.
- Tree Skirt: A wooden tree skirt designed for 8ft trees will complete your setup, covering the stand and adding a finishing touch.
- Convenient Package Sets: We offer package sets specifically designed for 8ft trees, ensuring you have the perfect selection of ornaments to create a beautifully coordinated and festive tree.
