“I really want a Christmas Tree but I’m in a small apartment. Any ideas how I can still have a tree without taking over my whole space?”
You can absolutely have a tree in your space – Christmas trees aren’t just for large homes!
Depending on the size of your space and where you want to put your tree you may need to get a little creative but we have some ideas for you.
A smaller tree can still make a big impact! To make it look even larger without all the bulk try placing it on a stool. This image has a mini tree placed in a steel bucket (for a bit of a rustic feel) and propped up on a stool. this gives the tree height but the stool isn’t big and full.

Instead of a whole tree why not make use of some branches? They are easy to find this time of year and they are an affordable option. We love the simplicity of some evergreen branches in a glass vases, add some colourful decor and you are set.

This idea is nothing short of brilliant! This ‘half tree’ (aka Corner or Flat back Christmas trees) takes up half the space of a full Christmas tree but you can push it right up against the wall so it won’t eat into your living space. Half the lights, half the decorations so half the work!

Want the look of a gorgeous Christmas tree without all the work and mess? Try a hanging Christmas tree canvas. IKEA knows all about decorating and furnishing small spaces and they knew that the Christmas tree would also be a challenge – so they came up with this!

Have you heard of a pencil tree? These are tall and skinny trees, they are perfect for anyone short on extra space as they don’t fill the room but they are full of holiday cheer.

The shape of a tree can be an inspiration, too! Use cards, twigs, photos, branches and even lights to create a beautiful wall art display in honour of the Christmas tree.

Another fun and simple idea is the Christmas tree wall vinyl – this is so easy to put up and it won’t cause nay damage to your walls. There are so many different designs you might find it challenging to pick one!
