  • The shape and size of the tree are key to perfect holiday decor. It's important to choose a tree that fits the space – slim models are ideal for small rooms, while full and wide trees work best in large living areas.
  • Your interior design can inspire the choice of tree. Minimalist interiors are best complemented by simple, slim trees, while traditional setups are enhanced by wide, lush trees.
  • The material of the tree affects its look and durability. Trees made of PE look more realistic, while PVC ones offer a softer, cozier feel – both options have their unique charm.

 

When it’s time to dress your home in a festive mood, choosing a Christmas tree becomes crucial. The sheer variety of options can be overwhelming... Should you go for a wide or narrow tree, tall or small? PVC or PE? The range of choices can be dizzying!

 

So, check out our guide and, step by step, find the perfect artificial Christmas tree that suits your needs!

 



 

Shape and Size of Artificial Christmas Tree – What Will Be Best?

 

Start by determining the size and shape that will work best in your home: from slim, narrow trees to full, spreading forms. Some Christmas trees are conical, while others are more rounded or asymmetrical.

 

Remember that the size and shape of the tree can greatly affect the overall look in a room. Smaller trees with a slim silhouette fit perfectly in small spaces, such as a bedroom corner or a shelf. Meanwhile, larger, wider trees work well in spacious living rooms, where they create an impressive focal point.

 

It’s important that your artificial tree takes up the right amount of space to give your interior a truly festive feel, without overwhelming the rest of the decor.

 

Matching the Tree to Your Interior Design

 

Did you know that your interior’s style can guide you in choosing the right tree?

 

If your Christmas tree will decorate a:

  • Minimalist, Scandinavian interior – a slim, narrow tree with simple, geometric shapes will work best, subtly enhancing the clean, modern decor without dominating the space.
  • Traditional, classic interior – a full, abundant tree with wide branches will give the room a warm, cozy character.
  • Modern, industrial interior – a tree with metal or wire elements can add an interesting, raw accent.
  • Eclectic, glamorous interior where styles mix – you can go for an ornate, decorative tree that will be a striking, eye-catching feature.

 

The artificial tree should also match the color scheme of your interior, including furniture, carpets, and decorations, to create a harmonious, cohesive look.

 

 

PE or PVC: Which Artificial Christmas Tree to Choose?

 

The Christmas tree is a key element of holiday decor – so choosing the right material for your artificial tree is an important decision. The material can significantly affect the look and durability of the tree. What are your options?

 

Artificial Tree Made of PE

 

PE artificial trees offer a more realistic look, closely mimicking the natural texture of evergreen needles. Polyethylene has thin wires inside, allowing you to arrange the branches to give the tree the desired shape. These branches are more durable and rigid, maintaining their form for many years, providing a lush appearance season after season.

 

Artificial Tree Made of PVC

 

PVC artificial trees have a softer, "plush" aesthetic. Their branches gently droop, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Polyvinyl chloride film is cut into thin strips that resemble needles and twisted onto metal wires. These flexible PVC branches can be styled in various ways to achieve a personalized look.

 

Ultimately, the choice between these two basic materials comes down to... taste. Both options offer their own unique charm! You can read more about these materials in the article “PVC or PE Artificial Christmas tree? What are the differences?”.

 

Interestingly, a third option is also available on the market: an artificial Christmas tree made of PE and PVC. In this option, polyvinyl chloride is used closer to the trunk to give the branches a fluffy look, and polyethylene is used at the ends of the tree. This option gives the tree a natural look.

 

 

Choosing Tree Lights

 

One of the final decisions is choosing the type of lights for your artificial Christmas tree.

 

Warm yellow lights create a cozy, classic atmosphere, reminiscent of traditional candle-lit trees. They add a homely feel, evoking memories of family Christmases.

 

Cool white lights offer a modern, elegant, and minimalist look, giving the tree a subtle decorative touch. They work well in avant-garde, design-focused spaces, bringing a fresh vibe to the room.

 

Also, consider the size and shape of the lights. Small, delicate LED lights create a soft, twinkling glow, while larger, eye-catching lights shaped like candles or icicles make a bolder statement.
