How to find the best place for FairyTrees artificial Christmas tree?

How do you choose the best place for an artificial Christmas tree to make it beautiful, safe, and practical? The right placement is not only a matter of aesthetics but also practicality – especially when there are children or pets at home. With a well-thought-out setup, you can avoid problems and create a unique, festive atmosphere.

 

 

  • The tree should be visible but should not be in the way. It’s best to place it in a corner or by a window, away from the passageways in the house.
  • A well-thought-out setting emphasizes decoration. Remove unnecessary items but don't be afraid to add decorations like lights or holiday ornaments.
  • Avoid fire sources such as fireplaces. This is crucial for the safety and durability of the tree.

 

The Christmas tree is one of the most important symbols of Christmas and the heart of every festive home – it's where children open their presents, and the family spends special moments together. Before you decorate your Christmas tree, it's worth planning its placement carefully. This is not only a matter of aesthetics but also safety, especially when there are small children, pets, or a fireplace in the house.

Where is the Best Place to Put the Tree for the Perfect Look?

 

The best place for the tree is where you can fully enjoy its beauty without disrupting the daily routines of the household. Therefore, avoid placing the tree in passageways or near doors, where it could be accidentally knocked over.

 

A good choice is the corner of the room or the space by a large window. Placing the tree in a corner provides stability, protects it from being knocked over, and allows for easy arrangement of decorations. On the other hand, placing it by the window adds charm – the lights reflecting in the window create a magical effect, visible from the outside as well.

 

It is important to match the size of the tree to the room. In small apartments, slim models work great, as they do not take up much space but still maintain an elegant look. In large living rooms, you can afford a bigger tree that becomes the central point of decoration.

 

Tip: Before setting up the tree, try reorganizing the space. Temporarily moving a chair or small table can create the perfect spot for the Christmas tree without disrupting the room layout.

 

 

Safe Placement of the Tree in a Home with Children and Pets

 

If you have small children or pets, the placement of the tree should also consider their safety. Place the tree in a location that is not easily accessible to curious little hands or paws. Also, make sure that the tree trunk is stable to prevent accidents and ensure safety.

 

In addition, in order to increase security:

 

  • Avoid glass ornaments on the lower branches, as they may attract children or pets. Instead, choose decorations made of wood, felt, or shatterproof plastic.
  • Ensure the tree is not near furniture that children could climb on.
  • Hide the cables of the tree lights behind the tree or secure them to the floor with special clips – this reduces the risk of tripping.

 

As FairyTrees, we have also thought about the stability of the tree, which is why we include an ash wood stand with each model. It is sturdy, made of two parts of solid wood, and comes with felt pads that prevent slipping and protect the floor from scratches.

 

How to Prepare the Space for an Artificial Tree: Tips on Furniture and Decorations

 

To make your Christmas tree look perfect, it’s worth paying attention to what surrounds it. Remove items that may disrupt the harmony of the decorations. Excessive furniture or decorations can make the tree "disappear" among other things.

 

  • If there is a dresser or other piece of furniture next to the tree, move it aside during the holidays so that the lower branches are fully visible.
  • Instead of many small decorations, go for a few well-chosen elements, such as elegant lanterns, decorative boxes, or soft textiles in festive colors.
  • Don’t forget about holiday lights! Lights on the tree are a must-have, but you can also add lights around the window to create a cohesive, warm atmosphere throughout the room.

 

Tip: If you have children, set up a small table next to the tree and create a holiday art corner – with drawings, gingerbread cookies, or handmade decorations. This is a wonderful way to spend time together and encourage creativity in the little ones.

 

 

Want to Place the Tree Safely? Avoid Fireplaces and Candles

 

The tree should be kept away from open flames and high temperatures. Avoid placing it near the fireplace, a hot radiator, or lit candles.

 

Also, remember not to place candles directly on the tree or near it. This is very dangerous (a note about the need to supervise candles is also in our instructions)! Both artificial and real trees should be kept away from heat sources to prevent fire risk. Always extinguish flames when you leave the room.

 

If you have underfloor heating, you can rest assured. Artificial Christmas trees are resistant to the gentle heat generated by floors, making them the perfect choice for modern interiors.
