Why are artificial Christmas trees a good choice? 

 

Artificial Christmas trees are a practical solution that brings the holiday spirit without requiring time-consuming care. They don’t need watering, and their durability ensures they look great throughout the festive season. This is especially valuable in households where the holiday period is already packed with responsibilities (or for those who simply prefer to avoid additional hassle!).

 

Choosing an artificial tree is also a cost-effective decision. Once purchased, you can enjoy its beauty for many years to come. If you’re curious about additional benefits, check out our article: "7 reasons to buy an artificial Christmas tree".

 

 

How to choose the perfect size and style of an artificial tree 

 

Choosing the right tree size is crucial for creating a coherent holiday arrangement. Slim models are perfect in smaller apartments, as they take up little space while still adding a festive touch. In large living rooms, on the other hand, bigger and more voluminous trees can be a centerpiece, drawing the attention of every guest.

 

The style of the tree is another important factor that allows you to match it to your home’s character. At FairyTrees, you’ll find a wide variety of “tree species” – from majestic Nordmann firs to realistic-looking spruces and pines with a snowy frost effect and real pinecones, adding a unique ambiance. Choosing a specific type isn’t just about aesthetics but also about how you want to highlight the festive character of your space.

Materials – what do PVC and PE stand for? 

 

The material of your Christmas tree greatly affects its appearance and the impression it makes in your home. PVC trees are a classic choice – their dense needles create a neat, elegant look. These trees are perfect for rich decorations, as the closely arranged branches beautifully showcase ornaments and lights.

 

PE trees, on the other hand, are ideal for those looking for a tree that almost perfectly mimics a real one. The needles are injection-molded into three-dimensional shapes, giving them a realistic and soft-to-touch appearance. These artificial trees are designed to resemble natural ones as closely as possible. Thanks to modern materials, PE models are not only durable but also stunningly lifelike – an excellent choice if you want a natural look for your holiday decor.

Safety and stability – key features of a good tree 

 

If your home includes young children or curious pets, tree stability becomes especially important. A sturdy stand minimizes the risk of the tree toppling over if accidentally bumped (both artificial and real trees can be stable, but artificial ones often come with robust stands). Stability also provides comfort while decorating, keeping the tree firmly in place and allowing for even more christmas decorations.

 

Don't forget to check the materials your tree is manufactured from! Models with TÜV certification undergo thorough safety testing (at FairyTrees, you’ll find two certified models: FT14 and FT14B), ensuring they meet high-quality standards.

Is assembling an artificial Christmas tree difficult? 

 

Assembling an artificial Christmas tree doesn’t have to be complicated if you’re well-prepared! FairyTrees models consist of three main parts: the base, the trunk, and the branches attached to it. It's a good idea to choose where to put the Christmas tree in advance to make sure that it's well placed and easy to decorate. Preparing a space where you can lay out all the components before assembly also helps streamline the process and avoid chaos.

 

The most important step in assembly is carefully shaping each branch – this adds volume and makes the tree look more natural. Setting up the tree is also a great opportunity to involve the whole family. Little helpers will surely enjoy fluffing the branches, and putting up the tree can become one of your favorite holiday traditions.
