How to Choose a Holiday Tree (or Faux Tree) That Works for Your Space
Nothing says holiday magic like a beautifully decorated Christmas tree twinkling in the corner of your living room. But with so many options out there – tall, slim, flocked, or tabletop – how do you pick the right one for your space? Whether you’re decking out a cozy apartment or going full-on festive in a big family room, I’ve rounded up some gorgeous options that fit every home and every style.
The Christmas Trees That I’m Using
I bought this Christmas tree years ago at Hobby Lobby. My house has higher ceilings than my previous house, so I needed to get a bigger tree.
I love this smaller tree that is beside my fireplace. It was a gift from my mom, and I keep it very simple. This little tree looks the most realistic of any tree I’ve seen. The flocking looks like freshly fallen snow, and the little acorns add another realistic touch.

When choosing your tree, measure your ceiling height first (leave at least 6 inches between the top of the tree and the ceiling for your star or topper). For smaller homes, slim or tabletop trees keep things festive without crowding the room. And don’t forget – lighting makes all the difference. A warm glow always feels cozier!
Whether you go mini or majestic, there’s a perfect tree out there waiting to make your home sparkle this season.

Verse Of The Day
Proverbs 4:1 (NIV)
1Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction;
pay attention and gain understanding.
🙂 You are a bad influence. I like the burlap wrapped small tree and the flocked tree.
Hahahaha!
🙂lots of choices.
🙂 All the trees are beautiful. I especially like the mini solar trees. Here in the PNW the solar lights never seem to work very well. Our daughter gave us a beautiful lighted tree that you use an app to change the type of lights and also turn it on & off. It is great.
🙂 I’m glad to see so many narrower trees that fit well into small places.
😊. I adore flocked trees! Thanks for choices.
We just got a prelit tree and it’s so easy to set up
Found it 🙂 All the trees are beautiful.
🙂 Love the tree your Mom gifted you!
