Deck the halls this festive season with a showstopping Christmas tree. Whether you love the smell of a real tree or prefer the convenience of a reusable tree, selecting the right one can make all the difference to your festive décor.
While nothing beats the authenticity of a real fir tree, reusable Christmas trees have become increasingly popular for their versatility, ease of maintenance, and the wide selection of colours and styles available. If you're planning to invest in one this year, our artificial Christmas tree guide has a few key things to keep in mind before making your choice.
Browse our full collection of artificial Christmas trees here.
One of the first things you'll want to think about is the size of your new tree. Consider where you're planning to place it and how much space you have. While tall Christmas trees might work best for high ceilings, they can look out of place in a smaller living room. The standard size for artificial Christmas trees is around 6ft to 6.5ft, which tends to work well in most average-sized homes.
If you're tight on space or want a second tree for another room, such as a bedroom or hallway, a smaller Christmas tree is a great pick. We have options standing at around 4ft or even 3ft tall - perfect if you want a smaller bundle of festive fun that doesn't overwhelm your space. You can even find tabletop and potted Christmas trees, which are great for adding Christmas cheer to desks or sideboards.
It's not just the height that matters, width and diameter are important too. A tree that's too wide can overfill a room and take away usable floor space, especially in smaller homes. That's where slim or pencil Christmas trees are a great choice. These tall, slender versions keep the festive look while fitting neatly into tighter spaces or corners. They're a great option for those who want to make an impact without compromising on space.
When browsing for your newest Christmas addition, you'll likely spot two acronyms that keep cropping up: PE and PVC. Understanding the difference between PVC vs PE needles is the secret to finding a tree that fits both your festive vision and your budget.
You can also keep an eye out for hybrid trees. These clever designs use ultra-realistic PE needles on the outer tips where everyone can see them, and volume-boosting PVC branches tucked deep inside for a lush, thick look for Christmases to come.
Deciding whether to choose a pre-lit Christmas tree or traditional unlit Christmas tree depends on you, your style, and what you want from your tree. On one hand, pre-lit Christmas trees help you to save time and money over the festive period - giving you more space to think about what goes underneath it. They also look fantastically festive, with a perfect glow right out of the box.
Prefer to add a sprinkle of personal magic? Our unlit Christmas trees mean that you can adorn your tree with Christmas tree fairy lights, baubles, and more, making your tree feel like yours.
Once you've nailed down the size and shape, it's time for the part everyone loves the most. Picking out the tree that goes with your aesthetic. A tried and trusted green tree never goes out of fashion, but changing up the finish can be a great way to give your space a bit more personality. If you want to bring the magic of a crisp winter morning indoors, look no further than our snowy Christmas trees. But what's the difference between the styles?
These feature a heavy, thick coating of faux snow blanketing the branches. They give a real "winter wonderland" feeling that looks beautifully cosy when paired with warm white fairy lights.
For a more subtle touch, frosted trees look like they've just been lightly dusted by ice on a winter's morning. It gives you a hint of Christmassy magic while still letting the green of the pine needles peek through.
Want to make a real statement? A crisp white or coloured Christmas tree offers a sleek, minimalist backdrop that makes bright, colourful baubles instantly pop.
Looking for some colour inspiration to go with the rest of your decorations? This year's Christmas tree trends lean into rich, warm tones - think burgundy and gold for a luxurious feel, or deep cherry-cola shades as a twist on the classic red and green. If you prefer something more earthy, naturalism is also a popular choice, pairing copper and terracotta tones with botanical touches like pinecones and dried orange slices for a cosy, natural finish.
After you've decided on the perfect size, shape, material, and style of the Christmas tree, you should be ready to go - just don't forget the decorations! One thing you'll want to keep in mind once the festivities are over is keeping your tree in good nick for years to come.
Maintaining your artificial tree is fairly straightforward, and it all comes down to just a few simple habits. Before packing away, give your tree a gentle shake or a once-over with a soft brush to remove any dust that's built up over the season, and check for any loose branches or tangled lights that might need a little attention before next year.
When it comes to storage, a dedicated Christmas tree storage bag will help protect your tree from dust, damp, and squashed branches while it's tucked away for the rest of the year. If your tree comes apart in sections, storing it upright or flat in its original box (where you've kept it) will help it keep its shape, ready to spring back into place next Christmas.
It's also worth investing in a sturdy Christmas tree stand that properly supports the weight and height of your tree - this not only keeps it secure throughout the season but also makes the whole take-down process much easier when the time comes.
With the right care, a good quality artificial Christmas tree can be reused year after year, making it a worthwhile investment for many Christmases. All that's left to do now is pick your tree, deck it out with your favourite tree decorations, tree toppers, and tinsel, and get into the festive spirit.
